I cant believe he killed himself.
He was nuts, but I cant believe he would do such a thing.

The Rum Diary is supposed to be made into a film some time.
Benecio Del Touro (I know I just butchered his name) is to direct it.
Johnny Depp is to play Thompson once again.

I thought his habits (past and present) would have taken care of that for him. This is a bit more direct than I ever would have expected.

Can't say I'm surprised, he seems like he'd rather have control over his own end, but damn that sucks. I was just watching Fear & Loathing a couple days ago. :(

Speaking of Courtney Love...

With O.D.B. and HST havind died within two months of each other, I think that other famously self-destructive celeb has to have a clock ticking over her head.

If you were writing his biography you can't say that this reckless end doesn't make sense.

I just found out I have the opportunity to eat some acid later; I'll be saying goodbye in grand fashion. RIP Hunter

Sad day. Like them or not, HST and Tom Wolfe were pioneers of the New Journalism and hugely influential. He will be missed but we'll always have his works.
