09.04.08 1ST TRAILER FOR PENN/VAN SANT’S MILK
Penn gets his first eyeful of James Franco’s prosthesis
After the jump, I’ve got the first trailer for Milk, which premiered last night. Directed by Gus Van Sant, Sean Penn plays Harvey Milk, San Francisco’s first openly gay city councilman. It looks like they made this from the perspective that Milk is some kind of courageous crusader for the rights of the little guy. I don’t want to spoil the movie, but Milk later gets murdered in cold blood by Dan White (Josh Brolin), who uses the “Twinkie defense” to beat a murder rap and ends up serving only five years in prison. I’m not sure how they’ll paint that as a heartwarming triumph over adversity. Unless there’s, like, a lot of prison rape. They say prison rape is the great equalizer.

1ST TRAILER FOR PENN/VAN SANT’S MILK
Man, you’re up early today.
actually that looks pretty good, apart from the over the top orchestral music….oh and the gay of course.
“His courage changed lives… and drapes.”
This movie is already confusing. How am I supposed to tell the difference between the gay mustaches and the 70s mustaches?
I know form bitter experience that Penn’s milk tasts pretty bad…
Van Sant’s milk tastes like 2%.
This movie is subjective at best, because who’s to say that Dan White isn’t a hero to hate crime advocates?
What’s with Josh Brolin playing a short-sighted, conservative christian politician in two straight movies?
Is it just me or does Penn’s “MIlk” look and sound alot like his character from “I am Sam”.
I noticed that, too, r.Stev. You could almost say his Milk is half and half.
*tips cow*
I won’t be seeing this movie. I’m gaytose intolerant.
Was he buried or cremated? I hate powdered milk.
I’m in love with Sarah Palin. Retard son and all.
It’s a bold performance for Penn, but will it earn him an Oscar? Slim chance.
And I totally fucked that comment. Where’s my coffee?
Wow, Burnsy, you’re really milking this for all it’s worth.
It’s too bad that Josh Brolin’s character couldn’t have joined Harvey to crusade (cruiseade?) for gay rights. If they joined together they could have run as the “White/Milk” ticket.
Sean Penn can play all the gay roles he wants. Hell, he could even wash his poop-dick with kerosene, but nothing is ever gonna get the stink of fucking Madonna off of him.
I’m just trying to teat you guys to some morning humor.
Milk’s partner made him start wearing a condom after a nice jacket got ruined in an incident referred to as “Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk.”
Sadly, Uwe Boll’s “Malk” will go straight to DVD.
Is Milk even a real surname? Does anybody here know some one called Milk?
Wasn’t Milk what they called Martin Luther King’s albino brother?
This thread has devolved into udder bullshit.
Fuck you guys for pulling me into your shenanigans.
Santa Claus always hated going to that household. The cookies were delicious, but the naked man standing next to them always made him uncomfortable.
