Who's craving oj

Milk was an incredible film. Go see it. Sean Penn, I thought, did a surpurb job. I forgot I was watching Sean Penn and really felt I was watching Harvey Milk. And OH that embarassing Florida native-orange juice commercial barbie-evangical cunt Anita Bryant... one of the greatest evils since Hitler. From what I read she repented her sins, as in ( Read more... )

entertainment, gay

I saw Milk a few weeks ago and thought it was absolutely brilliant! Anita Bryant made me wanna gouge my eyes out with my car keys, so i guess the movie was effective!

and eww, i was thinking the same thing hah! =/

Oh thank you. :-)

That had to be one of the best moments in modern history.

Yeah that is pretty unprofessional and doesn't help the fact that two guys kissing is quite okay.

Yes Milk was phenomenal.

As to Benjamin Button. .you can partly blame Hollywood, but you can mostly blame F. Scott Fitzgerald who wrote about Mr. Button to begin with in 1921.

I guess Scott didn't think about that...

Will and I saw Milk last Monday in Memphis. We had a blast - we ended up sitting with people we'd been in line with to buy tickets, and they ragged Will about liking The Spirit, and then teasing him mercilessly about not liking 300 - and that he has to see it for the naked men. I was bawling.

Warning! Spoliers!

It's really really good - and I usually dislike Sean Penn. Will complained that Emile Hirsch wasn't gorgeous, but he did see a nekked Diego Luna, so he was happy. So was I, as a matter of fact.

Will commented for a movie about gays and gay lovers, there was not a lot of man on man action. All the sex was in dark light, or off camera but eluded to. I think that's a plus. You don't need rampant nudity and sex to sell a guy-girl love story, so it's not essential to a guy-guy story either. And while not as sparing as Brokeback Mountain, allusion makes vastly superior art to explicit. That's what porn is for :-P ( ... )

They also needed to put in more Dianne Feinstein. I usually am not a fan of her either, but she deserved more than an off-camera "Hi Dianne."

Yes yes yes. I liked the format and how the script played out in the movie.

I thought the film had enough sauciness when it came to guy on guy action. Not as detailed as many other "gay films" which was great, but it would be nice for people like... say... my parents to watch without having to see a guy go down on another guy or rolling naked and slapping each other's ass.

The Jack Lira scene was very sad. The poor guy just had a lot of issues, as did all the characters. That made it interesting, as you mentioned, because it even made the "bad guys" look like sympathetic people.

I like the soundtrack too. :)
