Sep 9 2008'Milk' Poster Has a Point to Make About Blending
"Never blend in." Just like Milk never blended in. I mean, actual milk blends into nearly any powder or other liquid with just a light stirring, but not Harvey Milk, and that's the point. I think. I don't actually get the point.

Wow.... I can't explain to you the vast void left deep inside of me from the complete lack of interest in what I'm sure is an ultra boring movie....

"Never blend in" = "don't hide in the closet". Milk was successful in politics despite being openly gay. I'm looking forward to this film... kind of. Maybe a rental.

Is he trying to look like Woody Alan but weirder?

Looking forward to this movie :)
Bit of a boring poster though.

oh God, is this movie really an oscar contender?
from the looks of it, the upcoming movies of the next few months--with the exception of course of Burn After Reading and Coraline, oh and The Curious Incident of Bejamin Butto-- seem to be quite lackluster.
wake me up, when 08 ends.

Okay, so judging by his appearance on this poster, I will presume the real Mr. Milk was not only gay, but also deformed and retarded.
Also, did anyone notice how painfully photoshopped the pin on his jacket is? If that isn't the Bevel & Emboss filter, I'll give up.
Also:
This is gay.

the tag-line is contradictory! never blend in should be much bigger and less surrounded by other words, otherwise the tagline is actually blending in.
if they were trying to make a point with it, it would only work if it said "blend in".

Harvey Milk the band is better than Harvey Milk the politician or the movie.
