my name is Harvey Milk, and I'm here to recruit you.
Saw Milk. Whoever played Cleve Jones was fantastic, simply made of awesome, and "Mrs. Milk" (James Franco?) was actually quite decent, though I admit I laughed the first time I saw his hair, because all I could think was "Spiderman! Harvey Milk is Spiderman!" Which, you know, no.
Speaking of Harvey, I didn't expect there to be that much depth to him - the not always the white knight morality - simply because many icons don't, but I left pleasantly surprised, and certainly thoughtful, and yes, mostly silent. I am sad to report that - unlike the experiences of many of those on my f-list - my theatre did not clap at the end, but perhaps that was because there were, what, twenty people in the room? (It was the 3:45 matinee.) The audience consisted of mostly couples and senior citizens; I was the only female in the room.
It was highly amusing at the time.
