I'm rather embarrassed to admit I still haven't seen Gus Van Sant's movie. I'm not much of a fan of his. I think his movie making is long-winded, redundant, contrived and self-indulgent.

But that's not why I haven't seen it.

I'm an asshole. I hate movie theaters because I always end up shouting at the bitch behind me yammering on her cell phone or the kids a row ahead playing their Gameboys. When I finally do see the movie I've been waiting to see for about 30 years, I want to enjoy every frame.. every sound.. every moment. I'll see it on DVD with my friends.

Critical consensus on Milk? Not so fast. “The beginning of the film was my favorite part. As an American Baptist, nothing says ‘feel-good movie’ like a pack of well-groomed, cocktail-swilling homosexuals being embarrassed or, better yet, arrested.” One Christian’s opinion of Milk, listed incongruously among 10 opinions from gay “leaders.”
