    With Sean Penn's reputation as one of the most homophobic actors in Hollwierd, I am sure this will be a really hot pairing….NOT. Franco, I am sure, will have no trouble fitting into his role, but Penn?…..no way that crazy prick is going to put life into Harvey Milk's story. Really, really bad casting. You know Penn will punch out James Franco if he even gets close enough to breath on him. Just sad all round for the str8s and gays.

    Gus Van Sant is a fat blob hack director, who sits on an electric cart for the entire duration of filming his movies. He's such a fat lazy bitch, that's why all his movies are so slow and film the actor walking for 10 minutes, because he's a an overrated pig boy.

    ugh. as a san franciscan i can say that harvey milk is totally overrated. Tom Ammiano was really the 'shining knight' of that time. i hope they portray milk for the total diva asshole that he was.

    Franco wont have any trouble with his role. Not only is he a major, major hottie but everybody in Tinseltown knows he will bed any important dude to get ahead (no pun intended) in this town and he is certainly not alone. He is an actor and can be just about anything the old gay mafia wants him to be, and if that means fucking one of them or taking it up the ass from one of them, or just exchanging blow jobs, that is no problem for him and many other young actors. ('Buy'-sexual is a Hollywood standard; and actors are 'bought' in many ways.)
    Penn on the other hand has a rep as being pretty hostile to homosexuals. This will be a strange pairing. Still they are both professionals and maybe it will work. Hope so. It is a fascinating and important story.

    so i've heard from a couple of sources of mine who know him that he likes the peen, another source says he has been in akbar making out with dudes….i still love him, and even with this crappy picture he still manages to be beautiful. mmm mmm. and he's a great actor, that helps.

    Honey, James Franco ain't "going gay" James has been gay for a long time! Not that there is anything wrong with that.
    He is fucking gorgeous. If he wants to go straight for just one night I'M AVAILABLE JAMES.

    Am I the only one concerned that no one casted thus far is OPENLY GAY? That is some BS man! I want this movie to make a statement and I have no doubt that half the boys in it are truly gay but are any of them open? As far as I am concerned, Hollywood is one of the most homophobic places in the world because the HALF that ARE GAY refuse to COME OUT!

  56. mia says – reply to this
    56

    Really a good actor from what I have seen. For such a young dude. I am sad if he is actually gay, sad for us girls who need more manly creatures available for our admiration. He is very intense and doesn't give off a gay vibe.

    gays are so disgusting, but it seems that playing a pervert in the movies is the in thing to do. homosexuality is caused by abuse just like cancer is caused by smoking. why glorify a tragedy?

    there is a poster here named geez louise. she is a sick bitch. when she was a teenager she would get her dad's friends high on jenkem and then she would seduce them in order to get knocked up. she would then take the child support money and use it to buy crack. so she is a fat ugly crack whore that everyone hates. so everytime you see her post let her know how much you hate crackwhores because that is what she is

    I know he's gay, but I don't care if he likes to fuck or suck guys as long as he will fuck me sometimes! I'm so easy.

    Re: paca – It is so obvious that YOU are "geez louise" and are crying out for help. Please try to get help for your poor silly spic crack whore carpet-muching illegal ass and stop abusing your little taco children because you were abused by all your parents' wetback friends. You have such sad mental problems and creating an invisible enemy, "a fat ugly crack whore" which is really yourself, is no way to cope.
    If that doesn't help, just blow your crack addled dyke brains out, if you can hit a target that small. Poor, poor tragic thing. Stop all the pain!

    Was wondering when Hollywood was going to jump & make another gay-theme film after the success of B r o c k e b a c k…but for heaven's sake, why Sean Penn? Are they already planning to get the Oscar? All you have to do for the Academy is play a sick role, crazy, gay, quadriplegic, etc, etc. and it's a guarantee of The Oscar! I would say three quarters of the people in the film industry are gay, therefore why on hell not cast gay actors? Gay actors have been forced to portray hetero roles all of their lives, why not let them do something they feel close to? Like all the whores in Hollywood who get praised for playing whores.

    the harvey milk story is tragic in so many ways. i'm looking forward to seeing this film when it's released.

    hopefully it'll raise awareness at how screwed up the legal system was, is, and always will be.

    I am sooooooooooo disappointed in James Franco's decision to take a homosexual role. Women LOVE him but this film just might make them think twice. He is such a shy & handsome young man & I would hate to see him in ANY compromising positions. I hope his character will just be THERE & not 'interacting'. I feel this role is going to hurt his career - BIG TIME! (JMHO)
    And I don't wanna hear from 'the other side' becuz I've heard it all before…

    for shame Perez! It's HaRvey Milk - not Havey Milk.

    They should take away your license to practice gayness in the state of California if you can't even be bothered to get the quintessential gay icon's name right.

    It's not like your writing the great American novel here - it's a blog! For all the notoriety & money you get for hosting this little "site" of yours, you could at the very least proof your sentences before you post them.

    Fuck this shit! Hollywood treats gays like second-class citizens. They are always in some assistant capacity or makeup artist or something. They need fags to play fags in movies, not tragic heteros playing fags. We need more *actual) fags in movies!!!!! Fuck Sean Penn. Fuck Van Sant. No talent!

    James is actually a very nice, thoughtful, uber intelligent, NOT GAY guy. Trust me. It's a role in a film, not the end of the world nor his career because he has a lot of talent, i.e. James Dean. Oh, and the director is making him grow the facial hair for the part.

    Re: GEEZ LOUISE

    geez louise you filthy whore everyone here hates you and you know it, so you might as well go back to strutting your skanky stuff on your street corner. you are so pathetic the only way you could get your grandpa's and dad's attention was by spreading for them. if youre going to come here at least close your legs so you arent stinking the place up.

    geez louise is so fat and ugly that when her brother was born, as soon as he got a look and whiff of her, he CHOSE to be a homo. just having a sister as ugly as GEEZ LOUISE is child abuse. so once again we see that homosexuality is caused by ABUSE just like cancer is caused by smoking!!!!
