CBS’s Smith Reviews Harvey Milk Movie: ‘A Must-See’
NewsBusters ^ | December 10, 2008 | Kyle Drennen

Posted on 12/11/2008 1:30:22 PM PST by Zakeet

On Wednesday’s CBS Early Show, co-host Harry Smith interviewed actor James Franco, who stars opposite Sean Penn in a new movie about gay San Francisco politician Harvey Milk: "Actor James Franco is here to talk about his role in the much-talked-about new movie, 'Milk.' He is amazing in it." At the end of the show, Smith thanked Franco for being a guest and offer this review of the movie: "James Franco in 'Milk,' amazing performance. Sean Penn, off the charts. It's a must-see for everybody."

On November 30, CBS’s Sunday Morning offered a similar glowing description of the film, describing Milk as a "rebel with a cause." In the Wednesday interview, Smith described Franco’s role in the movie as a career-maker: "...there’s this completely other performance here. I mean, there's a part of you that's go to be, ‘this means I have a career,’ and 'I'm not just -- I'm not the pretty face on the Gucci ads, I get a career now.’"

The full transcript of the Wednesday segment is contained at the end of the article.

A movie about Harvey the-fecal-eater Milk?? You have got to be kidding? The marketing of deviance courtesy of hollywood—now that’s entertainment. Let me guess, Harvey is kind, brilliant, sensitive, and loving to all young boys captured by his beguiling personality.

Bankrupt the bastards. That is the only way to shut these reprobates down... End their gravy train.

The production company for Milk, Focus Features, is owned by Viacom, same parent company as SeeBS News reports to.

This is nothing but payola to hype the corporate product.

Sean Penn-cil head works from “experience” no doubt. He’s another fruit-loop, light-in-the-loafers, anti-American, whack job.

I think it was Bill O’Reiley who said MILK would win Oscars as Hollywood’s payback for Prop 8 passing.

You might say it is a consolation prize for the queers.

Penn is a spectacular actor (The Interpreter comes to mind) but a disgusting person. I rarely go to his movies and this one won't be the exception. I remember the incident. Why would I want to see it?? I am bored with all the gay promotion from Hollywood. I hope it tanks.

Also note Participant Productions. Their mission statement says something about bringing important social issues to the screen. Blech!

He said the proposition 8 hysteria in Hollywood would lead them to lionize this movie.

I wouldn't bet against O'Reilly on this one. For all the blotivating he does he makes the occasional good call and this is one of them.

The murder of Harvey Milk gave us Dianne Feinstein. Harvey would have probably died of AIDS sooner or later, now we are stuck with Dianne for the foreseeable future.

The murders also brought some sympathy to the gay cause years before AIDS deaths provided the same thing. That was especially true when Dan White got off scot-free for them, with the "Twinkie defense" story in the background of it.

I thought Sean Penn was some guy that worked for Hugo Chavez - didn't know he was a gay actor (sorry for being redundant)?

If I were to go see Milk, I’d probably just end up tossing my cookies.

How hard can it be for an actor to “play” a homosexual?

God help us....these people are sickening.

There’s no doubt in my mind that it will win best picture. The politically correct subject matter makes it irresistible.
