Got Milk!


The trailer for "Milk" is here and it's pretty evident that Sean Penn will get nominated for one of those gold statue things. The film is based on the life of Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man elected to political office. It was directed by Gus Van Zant. Hopefully, "Milk" will redeem Gus for that "Pyscho" fiasco. Casting Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates was just criminal.

"Milk" also stars James Franco, Josh Brolin, Diego Luna, Emile Hirsch and Victor Garber. Victor Garber! I mean, bell bottoms, terry cloth shorts and Victor Garber? I'm in.

Sean Penn usually annoys the shit out of me, but this movie looks fantastic.

Also, I sometimes forget that around 1997-2000, Vince Vaughan did dramas almost exclusively. Weird, right?

Ugh, he does not sound "retarted" in this role. Penn sounds exactly like the very gay, very Jewish, Long Islander that Harvey Milk was. Makes me wonder if we really are ready for this film. :(

Surfing the apocalypse.

damn damn damn.

i hate sean penn. he's an asswipe, looks like ann b. davis, destroyed robin wright's beauty by spreading his ugliness on her, and thinks he's some sort of national policy administrator.

BUT...

this movie looks friggin awesome. i hate myself for saying that because of my hate for him.

i live in the bay area and i guarantee that pretty much every person who lives here will want to see this flick. just amazes me it wasn't made before. the true story is more shocking than any sort of fiction.

I like Sean Penn but fuck me if I'm wrong...Does he sound just like Sam from I Am Sam? LOL.

Frankly my dear, I don't give a Damn!! "Rhett Butler"

Oh! I am so excited! What a great trailer!

And I agree, I can't stand Sean Penn in general, but he is ONE HELLUVA actor! He actually always makes me forget it's him in any role....not something most superstars can do.

Amazing when you remember that he was Spicoli!

I just hope this film can open and show without a lot of right-wing gay-bashing bullshit.....I guess releasing in NOvember means it will be AFTER the election-thank god!

Hating gays is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tiresome.

...you've got to keep electing gay people...to know there is better hope for tomorrow. Not only for gays, but for blacks, Asians, the disabled, our senior citizens and us. Without hope, we give up. I know you cannot live on hope alone, but without it life is not worth living.

IMO

ABSOLUTAMUNDO!!!

Also, when did Josh Brolin go from 'B' movies to superstar, he's a damn good actor!
