Milk (2008)

This film was pretty sweet and so was my viewing experience. We saw Milk in a new Sundance theater. They renovated a midsized theater complex near the revitalized Japantown/Fillmore district, added a wine bar, and don't take your tickets, EVOR! You can walk in (I did for Sex in the City) and take a seat. I guess the upshot is people buy their specific seats (like a ballgame, etc.) and can kick you out of theirs, but if the theater's not full, you can watch free. Also, you can bring wine to your seat and the seats are huge and comfy, & the theaters small. So it was worth the $3 amenities fee per ticket.

Or maybe I'm just happy because the film was inspiring. I guess you can get something done when you cut your pony tail and put on a suit. They didn't give good explanation of the "Twinkie Defense," the sensationalized excuse for Dan White's short prison sentence. It was actually just evidence of his bipolarity, the real reason he got off relatively easy.

Also, the Asian character was fairly one sided, something I believe Angry Asian Man complained about when they were casting for the role. The Times of Harvey Milk has more real footage, and better interviews.
