Don't make Hunter mad. Hunter S. Thompson doesn't think the production company that optioned The Rum Diaries is doing a very good job. And he tells them. Man, does he tell them.

the style of the reporting preceding the lovely letter reminds me of danny devito's character in LA confidential somehow...

Holy shit, that's a steaming letter. I'd hate to be on the receiving end :) Btw, that's quite a cast.

Indeed, excellent cast, pnevares. That letter was classic HST...I'm getting tired of this waterhead fuckaround...heaven help us if he ever discovers MetaFilter! Just kidding (maybe).

He's so reserved. I wish HST would just come out of his shell and say what he really means...

Here's the offending Ms Holly Sorenson; quite a C.V., a real work of art.

Namecalling, threats of physical violence...it's like, SO juvenile! Sure makes me glad I've avoided this author's work.

if the average juvenile could sling invective like that, the web would be much more interesting...
