Milk Premiere


Milk premiered in New York earlier this week. Emile looks so cute. I love him, although I agree with some of my actor friends who didn`t like some of his choices in Into the Wild. I am looking forward to seeing if there has been any growth by him in Milk

Rosie B, looks great too. One of the better dressed ladies at the screening

Helena you are a goddess.

This is the best dressed I think I have ever seen Sean Penn

I have heard that Franco`s performance is the weakest in the film. Ironic because I hear gay rumors about Franco all the time. Maybe that`s why.

Milk



I can't fucking wait for this movie to come out. Harvey Milk is one of my favorite figures in history. His story has always moved me, and it's about time that it has been put on film. He helped define San Francisco in the later half of the 20th century, and his impact on gay rights is undeniable. As an American of Irish decent and a proud Hag, I have always been drawn to this story because of the convergence in my own life that is present in the history of Harvey Milk's rise to political prowess; and his death at the hand of a raging Irish bigot. Those social themes are still simmering under the surface in San Francisco. Sean Penn seems perfectly cast, and it doesn't hurt that the two hottest actors in Hollywood are also starring, James Franco and Emile Hirsch. The former I am sure everyone is familiar with, especially now that Pineapple Express has become such a hit. Hirsch, who is probably less well know but equally as endearing was the star of last year's sleeper hit, Into the Wild. I'd take either, or both!
