   All of Drooker's adaptations aspire to a fidelity with the mood of the   
   original, though in different ways. With these three renditions, one could   
   surmise that the illustrator is done with "Howl." But news of recent projects   
   by others indicates that    
   contemporary cinema is far from done with Allen Ginsberg. Walter Salles' On   
   the Road is due for release autumn 2012, with Tom Sturridge playing Ginsberg   
   analogue, Carlo Marx. And John Krokidas' Kill Your Darlings, due in 2013, will   
   feature Daniel    
   Radcliffe in the role of Ginsberg. With such intense media production, Allen   
   Ginsberg (and the other Beat poets) will be well on the way to becoming an   
   intertextually, self-reinforcing icon. For an audience with intimate knowledge   
   of Ginsberg's life and    
   work, the Beat poets and the "Beat Generation," I have argued that   
   photorealistic visual images, combined with an attendant impulse to portray,   
   in particular, the author of the poem in the popular culture "iconic register"   
   open up for "trivialization."    
   This dilutes "authenticity" with the insertion of an ironic tension that would   
   be available to the cognoscenti, who are equipped as a "discursive community"   
   to muster intertextual and extratextual references and thereby receive the   
   images and texts in a    
   more complex way, a far cry from the "mind to mind" ideal of the Beat   
   aesthetics.
