*snip*
Bottled water was available for free, but extras were warned to pitch the bottles when the cameras were on. People drank H2O out of the tap in the '70s.
A production assistant followed Penn around the front of City Hall with a large navy blue umbrella. She held it over his head to shield him from the sun. Seeing he had a captive audience, Penn broke loose of the umbrella to deliver an impromptu speech that Milk would have loved.
"I almost wish Jerry Falwell were alive to see this. Almost," Penn shouted to the crowd. After dropping some names of conservatives who are still with us - "Bill O'Reilly, who is too stupid to talk about," and "Sean Hannity, the butt boy of Rupert Murdoch," Penn said, "We know something more. We know their end is near."
What was fun about having "Milk" shot here is how "in" it made locals feel. They could go home that Sunday and tell friends that Penn gave a speech just for them. Keen observers might have caught a glimpse of Robin Williams, who at one point was to play Milk, and Oliver Stone, who was to direct one version of the biopic. Both stopped by to watch Penn and director Gus Van Sant, whom Williams worked with on "Good Will Hunting."
Thousands of San Franciscans marched in a simulation of the Gay Freedom Parade that was held on June 25, 1978, and of the vigil in November that year to commemorate the deaths of Milk and Mayor George Moscone, both murdered by Supervisor Dan White.
The cast and crew have been all over town spending money in restaurants and hotels and generally adding to the San Francisco economy. There were other ways in which the local population benefited from the "Milk" people being here.

That list doesn't include anyone from Air America, obviously 'The Man' is keeping them down. :-)
-
Dear Mr. Penn, welcome to irrelevance.
-
my prediction: America will stay away from "Milk" in droves.. :popcorn:
-
"Milk" will only play with the Sheehanistas and Rosie O'Dumbells.
-
Sean Penn, as usual, is delusional. :mental: At least he's consistent with that. :lmao:
-
Wouldn't mailing him a case of twinkies be fun?
nah, he'd never get it...
What does he have against Murdoch? He's (Murdoch) a Clinton donor
-
Wow, that film will do great!!! Except outside San Franfreako and the Village, of course.
:popcorn:
-
I forgot about Sean Penn.

I try to forget, but his usual attention-whore self always manages to find his way back into the spotlight. :whatever:
-
I am Sam was on as I was flipping channels, Sean Penn playing a retard, art imitates life.
-
You have to read the comments on the story. They are freaking awesome. Sean H or Bill O must have read it on air or something because it is probably at least 75% freeper stuff now. :rotf:

Ha! Rosie O'Donnell played one in a movie didn't she? They must be related! :-)
-
In his dreams.
-
I think Sean Penn was talking about his career instead of Fox News.

It is so funny that Penn stood in front of a crowd of San Francisco queers and called Hannity FOX's "buttboy". :lmao:

Especially when the boat leaks and the captain is armed only with a Dixie cup.

Maybe he's planning on taking a page from the playbook of all the thugs and dictators he pals-around with.

"Harvey will be coming out soon," an extra assured the crowd ..... It was really Sean Penn, of course ...... But, this extra explained, because he's a "method actor," he wants to be called Harvey."
Well, then, I shall heretofore refer to him as Jeff. Jeff Spicolli, the only relevant character he ever played.
