P.S. I apologise if I am hogging this game (please tell me to slow down if you want), It’s a fun game. “- is there a poker game in the movie?” There is likely to be, but I don’t think the main characters play. “Did the plot revolve around drugs?” Yes. Movie#1: The Untouchables? ---

\>Movie#1: The Untouchables? No. Interesting guess, though. 🙂 Movie#2: Was Johnny Depp in it? ---

> [@Lobsang](#): > > Del Toro. Was it set in 1971 in Las Vegas in a hotel room with an acid tripping teenager who had a lot of paintings of Barbra Streisand who was then kicked out by the lawyer of a guy who was soon tripping on a drug made from a human thyroid gland and who had just recently been to a motercycle race? I hate these general questions. Am I at least getting close? ---

> [@Lobsang](#): > > (Yes, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) Good one! Hit me with another. Movie#1 is ever so slightly more obscure. You might want to ask if the main actor is known for anything other than theatrical movies. ---
