Old movies

[bghsmith]

I tried to watch From Here to Eternity this weekend. I only got halfway through before the emo got to me.

First Emo movie evar!

I'm still on the Trainer track at work. My boss is even going to try and get me a raise.

Whoa.

I did finally watch Milk. Now, that is a pretty good movie. But I always wonder about movies based on real events. How much of it was true? How much of it was for drama? How did the Lesbian get 3 kids? Did she adopt/donor or did she "go straight"? Speaking of, why are there so many straight actors in it? Is it hard to find good gay actors in Hollywood? I doubt it.

Once the Hubby gets home, I have to do some OT. Big bummer! Vista doesn't work with VPN! Stupid Vista.

Tomorrow Moose Boy turns 6!

So she went the donor route? I was just curious.

Ever since The Perfect Storm, I've been skeptical about "Based on a True Story" movies. (They all died! How could anyone know what happened on the boat?)

Honestly...

I don't even remember a lesbian w/ 3 children in the movie. The only lesbian I clearly recall was his campaign manager, whose life is very well documented. Where was she in the story?

It was the campaign manager! In the "where are they now" closing bit they mentioned that she has 3 kids.

Oh yeah...

She's another hero of the movement, Anne Kronenberg.

Wow...

OK, _I_ didn't know she's gone hetero. Seriously, I've always known her as an iconic lesbian.
