Robin Williams isn’t in this film according to the IMDB. Did you mean Sean Penn?

I saw a preview for this the same day I saw a preview for the Nixon interview movie. They were both so painfully boring I almost fell asleep waiting for the movie.

Moscone. White shot Mayor George Moscone, not the vastly more popular Mayor Joe Alioto.

You’re right. I did a job right across from Alioto’s law office a few weeks ago and the name stuck in my head. The convention center is named after Moscone.

Please tell me what is “Holy” about two men engaged in sex?
Sullivan must be musing whimsy about his time with Plato and Aristotle in Athens when things were much simpler.
“Milk” will be the season's biggest bomb in more ways than one.
I read that Sean Penn wrote in an explicit sex scene with himself and one of the costars of the film.
Sean I think you have discovered your true self here, run with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Andrew, my main problem with Sean Penn playing Harvey Milk, as it is with Tom Cruise playing Claus von Stauffenberg in Valkyrie, is that the whole point of either movie is that youre supposed to be sad when the lead dies. The main difference is that von Stauffenberg died for attempting to do something CONSTRUCTIVE for the world.

Why is it that just because you’re gay you have to advocate the cultural acceptance of homosexuality? Everyone has their aberrant behaviors. Some of us hide them. If you don’t want to face opprobrium, I suggest you hide yours. If you can’t stomach keeping secrets, I suggest you get used to opprobrium. The world does not exist to accept you.

Did you mean Sean Penn?No, I'm just brain damaged--Williams was going to be in this movie when they tried to make it years ago.
But Penn is just as insufferable.

Williams would truly be insuffrable in this role. Whatever Penn’s politics he can be great when he throws the mannerisms in the trash.
