Re: boycott of Milk in Cinemark:
Is the small bit of hurt this boycott will cause Cinemark really worth the hurt it will cause the first big gay film since Brokeback?
I worry about this boycott. I get that Cinemark is in the doghouse, but I'm afraid that the message Hollywood will take away is: no one will go to see gay films, not even the gays, because they're too busy boycotting the theatres it plays in.
Go see it elsewhere if you have alternatives, but for guys, GO SEE MILK! Don't wait for it to come out on DVD, go see it now. Bring some friends.
Just my opinion.
I will travel to NOT see MILK in a Cinemark Theater…f*ck em!
Go see Milk.
And it's a good opinion, Willie. I went to see it tonight at AMC Theaters in Oldsmar, Florida. It was a sold-out audience and everone's attention was riveted to the screen.
It was a very personal experience for me because I knew Harvey for quite some time before he moved out to San Francisco and got involved with politics. I could not get over the close resemblance of Penn to Harvey in the Film. I really had the sense that I was actually watching Harvey.
Every gay person, young, old and in between should see this film. The man had a dedication to the gay community that equaled that of M.L. King's dedication to the black community.
You won't come out dry-eyed, that's for sure.
