growsmybeard asked: what a wonderful tumblr! what do you think about the film with james franco?

Thank you, I apologize for not replying earlier, I had not seen this. 

I, personally, adored “Howl.” Franco, I feel, did a very good interpretation of Ginsberg. It wasn’t perfect, but for a handsome-straight-pretty-boy like Franco, it was a notable effort. I loved the format of the film, even though I would have loved to just have it all in the historically accurate flashback sequence. Everyone should see it!
