Images from the "Milk" premiere in San Francisco...

I wish Focus Features would push up the release of "Milk" because I cannot wait to see it! The film had its premiere Tuesday in San Francisco (where else?) and I love this photo of star Sean Penn embracing one of the film's producers Dan Jinks as fellow producer Bruce Cohen looks on (love Bruce's jacket!) Penn transformed himself to play slain San Francisco supervisor Harvey Milk who's spirit is being felt by many with the fight against Proposition 8 being waged so strongly. The photo of Penn below, with No on Prop. 8 signs in the background, show how the timing of this movie could not have been better.

Since I wasn't at the premiere, I point you to sites that have accounts from folks who were. First off, there's GLAAD's Damon Romine whose piece can be found at GLAAD.org. Then there is a piece by Christie Keith on AfterElton.com.


Gee, think Diane Lane and Josh Brolin are atrractive enough? This is a couple of very good looking people who also happen to be major talents who are very smart and very funny. \Josh plays the villain in "Milk" and is getting Oscar buzz for his lead role in "W."

"Grey's Anatomy" star T.R. Knight and boyfriend Mark Cornelson added to the glamour of the evening with their presence...
