Shout out to the ‘No in “Milk,” yo

The climax of the film is coming. The build. The vote on Proposition Six... and then... and then...

He says it. He says it loud, he says it proud, Harvey Milk (Sean Penn) refers to "Fresno" in the major motion picture, "Milk."

It was another one of those MY TOWN IS SUCH THE POP CULTURE REFERENCE moments and I was... I was speechless. So speechless, in fact, that I immediately turned to PIC and near shouted, "FRESNO!! HE SAID FRESNO" to the delight, I'm sure, of all the other moviegoers.

I don't think they noticed, actually, because they were all mumbling the same thing to their respective partners-in-crime.

SIDE NOTE: I loved the movie. I'm such a softie-- I cried in the opening credits. (But then again, I've been known to cry at the Barney song, so that's not saying much.)  I thought the whole film was really well done-- even the sex scenes, which always, always embarrass me regardless... all I think is, "Wow, is her/his mom watching this? Is her/his mom seeing him/her naked on top of that other naked person OHMYGAWD I SAW BOOB/BUTT/SIDE BOOB/(yougettheidea)."

And I really liked how the characters really LIKED each other. I don't know how else to explain that. Great cohesion amongst the cast?

Last thing-- Penn was spot on.
