I can't wait to see this too, and you're absolutely right about the timing. I don't know if the makers of the movie planned it on purpose, but to release the movie just weeks after the election of Obama and the tragic passing of Prop 8 is...well, "timely" is an understatement.
I have a feeling I'll be able to get over my general dislike of Sean Penn to like "Milk". He's another one of those actors, kind of like I feel about Tom Cruise, who I don't like in real life...but there's no denying he has fine acting skill. I look forward to him lightening up for once.
PS: Still haven't seen Bond, and I'm starting to debate whether I should see it in theatres or just wait for the blu-ray and watch it on Matt's giant theatre setup in the basement. What do you think?
