MILK.

I wish I had taken a picture of my face after I finished watching this movie, because I swear to god, mascara streaked and everything. Much recommended.

(Also, cookie booths are over! I go back to spending all of my free time freaking out over William Faulkner and writing things in Southern dialect.)

MILK! It was so good! Even though I don't usually like him in movies, Sean Penn was SO adorably geeky as Milk. And James Franco! And closeted Dan White! And the entire movie structure!

And Emile Hirsch's ridiculous hair. It's one of the best movies I've seen in a long time, and I really loved all of the original film clips that they tied in with it. Just. . .so good.

I have the urge to go find all the research I can on Harvey Milk now, though, which I totally don't have time for.

Oh the hair... It didn't feel overbearing at all even though it's a biopic.

You can Wikipedia him to squelch the urge for now. (I did :p)

I totally missed that in theaters, but now it's out on iTunes and I'm going to either buy/"rent" it from there, because OH MY GOD MILK I have wanted to see it for a while.

Funny story: I was looking through a bookshelf at school and found a sort of study guide for "The Sound and the Fury".
Me: Oh my God, I totally have to read this. (Thinking of the fic you wrote)
English Teacher: Where'd you hear of it?
Me: ...um, definitely not from porn on the internet?

The internet is a very educational place.

DO IT. But have tissues! And possibly something happy and fluffy to help you recover aftewards.

William Faulkner is one of my favorite people ever. He writes ridiculously long sentences with obscene amounts of commas, and The Sound and the Fury is lovely. It's all crazy Mississippians and suicide and possible incest.

I think I gain most of my knowledge from porn on the internet.

WAIT! OH MY GOD!

Did you see Neil Gaiman on the Colbert Report last night?
