oscaralbert Review of Hare and Loathing in Las Vegas

Hare and Loathing in Las Vegas (2004)

As Looney Tunes offerings became few and far between in Our 21st Century . . .

[8/10 · 18 January 2017]

. . . Warner Bros. by necessity was forced to engage in more dual-purpose economical piggy-backing in order to keep up with any prophecies about America's (then) Far Future which its Golden Age Animated Shorts Seers division of prognosticators may have missed. Viewers "in the know" actually will notice AT LEAST 879 separate predictions packed into the six minutes of Warner's HARE AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS, at least two of which have come to pass in just this past week. The more important fulfilled prophecy is the exact amount of White House Resident-Elect Rump's personal debt to his Red Commie Russian KGB Puppetmaster, Vlad "Mad Dog" Putin, placed at the 3:24 mark here at $8,042,123,297.55, which is exactly 45 cents less than the eight billion dollar-plus figure leaked by the British MI6 Agent (the Looney Tunes' Muse of the Future obviously rounds things off in accordance with American I.R.S. auditing standards). Of seeming lesser import is Bugs Bunny driving a RED SPORTS CAR off a prize pedestal inside Yosemite Sam's Las Vegas casino, just as does Jamie Foxx's character in his live-action feature debuting this past weekend, SLEEPLESS (Warner forecasts this right down to the car color and design). Frankly, I cannot see exactly how these two fulfilled prophecies might be connected--YET!
