MILK Doesn’t Quench Thirst

LYNN: Where was the nudity?

ALEX: MILK makes you thirsty for justice and leaves you in awe of Harvey.

DAVID: I was a little disappointed, it was a little Liftime-ish but I liked it.

We loved it buuuuut…..where’s all the sex that Sean Penn and James Franco went around promising on the late night talk shows?

still worth your $12 but be warned there’s not one sex scene, prosthetic penis, and we barely got some butt shots in the dark. Sad to say it was a little limp compared to Focus Feature’s Brokeback Mountain and filled with a few actors in Hollywood that still act through a glass closet.

Even the infamous scene of Anita Bryant giving a press conference where a pie was smashed in her face ( a la Harvey Milk) was absent from the movie.

It seemed like the movie’s real life aspects got edited out for the political message.
