Ok, I just made my first 30-second Robot Chicken-esque video clip using the glorious Windows Movie Maker...and I'm totally addicted. XD
And "Milk" is a totally fucking awesome movie. I figured it would be good, but I was really blown away by Sean Penn's performance, as well as their method of story-telling, and the vintage feel to the whole thing. I love how they wove real footage throughout the movie. I saw Valkyrie as well, and between these two based-on-a-true-story-with-a-shitty-ending movies, I have to say I like the way they did Milk better. And now I really really really need to get a copy of Randy Shilts' book on Harvey Milk. And can I say that it was really incredibly creepy how the religious fundamentalists of the 70s were saying the exact same thing that they are saying today? About how gays will "destroy families" and the like. But as Lewis Black says, the only way gay people can destroy families is by sneaking into their homes at night, barging in on their nice family dinners, and proceeding to fuck each other in the ass. That is how wholesome American families are destroyed!
