Lettersofnote.com is a blog that displays the fascinating missives
of famous people, from Al Franken to Mark Twain—some
cute, some funny, some pure vitriol. Pictured here: an expletivefilled
note from Hunter S. Thompson to Holly Sorensen, a Hollywood
producer who had bought the film rights to Thompson’s
novel The Rum Diary and then left the project on the shelf. The
letter begins, “Okay, you lazy bitch.…” CC’d are Johnny Depp,
Benicio Del Toro and Nick Nolte. Infuriated that the producer is
not making progress on the film, Hunter ends the letter, “I’m in a
mood to chop your fucking hands off.” The movie never got made
in his lifetime. It comes out later this year, with Depp starring.
