The Beat goes on at the Holiday today

A crew was on-hand today to film scenes for "Kill Your Darlings" at the dearly departed Holiday Cocktail Lounge on St. Mark's Place... set in 1944, the drama involves writers Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs and Lucien Carr's murder of David Kammerer...

Michael C. Hall, pictured here, plays Kammerer...





The Times has a lot of the backstory about the murder here; the version of the story for this film can be found in "And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks," the 1945 novel by Kerouac and Burroughs.

I'm sorry, I'm too distracted by the photo of the crew member ready to eat that slice to keep going...

    Wow, that's one limp pizza slice! Gotta be a dollar slice. Must not have much of a catering budget! Nice shots by Bobby!

    That's why you fold the slice lengthwise. He must be from California or something.

    He's clearly dripping the oil off. Not an admirable move, but let's reframe the hate.

    why why does everybody have to shoot here? No respect. We are the joke of the world.
