"Old Robbie, New Robbie and a Robbie that neither of us have met. ... I really hope it's as good as I think it is." He rewrote one of the songs after Michael Jackson died, with the pop star in mind.

milk

The story of Harvey Milk, and his struggles as an American gay activist who fought for gay rights and became California's first openly gay elected official.

Qestion is: Could "Milk" get bad reviews? That is, it is possible that Hollywood critics could give "Milk" low scores?

Deep suspicions are "no." Given the fact the homosexual community saw its biggest political defeat last month with the passing of Proposition 8 -- in California, the very same state where Harvey Milk was elected -- film critics would be certainly hesitant to criticize a movie based on probably one of the Gay Rights Movement's leading heroes. Any criticism of "Milk" would too easily be seen as criticism of Harvey Milk himself, which, in turn, would be seen as criticism of the whole Gay Rights Movement.
