Much has been made of John Krokidas’ Allen Ginsberg biopic Kill Your Darlings, mostly the making of all the gay sex that has supposedly shocked and gagged audiences. There’s none of that in the first trailer, but there is a bespectacled Daniel Radcliffe with an American accent and Michael C. Hall with a pretty sweet beard. It’s like Harry Potter and Dexter blowing smoke in each other’s faces. Still waiting for that something else to get blown, though. Dammit.

I am sorry, but neither of those actors will make any better Ginsberg than did James Franco. As beautiful as he was inside, Ginsberg was a fat ugly man. He was a brilliant poet and a good Buddhist. But he was not cute.

@jmmartin: He wasn’t fat and ugly back in the ’50’s. Later though, when he was promoting NAMBLA… not so cute. 🙁
