Just stop the movie at the cliffhanger at the end of act 2 when the hero gets knocked out/almoat killed/gives up/etc. Stop the movie then.
Example: Good Will Hunting - there’s a part near the end when Will says FUCK YOU to everyone around him and storms off. Stop there, and don’t let the movie conclude where Will caves to everyone’s terrible demands that he leaves town and goes after the girl.
Uhh, the central point of the film is regaled by Duke when he’s holed up in the hotel, which iirc happens in the second half. Plus there’s the bit at the end about Gonzo.
Or an ending where he succumbs to alcoholism, leads a miserable life doing menial labor. The girl (forgot her name) walks by him, doesn’t even have a flicker of recognition. Just a broken man tortured by what could have been.

That’s how I watch fear and loathing in last Vegas.
Enjoy the first half and then when it starts getting nasty just give up.

Yeah but the fun parts long over by then.
Buy the ticket, take the ride.
