Vonovia Gets About 28% of Deutsche Wohnen in Takeover Battleby
Vonovia SE, fighting to win control of German landlord Deutsche Wohnen AG with a 8.6 billion-euro ($9.4 billion) hostile bid, secured 27.7 percent of its rival a week before the deadline.
That includes Vonovia's stake of about 5 percent and acceptances from convertible bondholders representing 5.3 percent of Deutsche Wohnen stock, Vonovia said on its website on Tuesday. On Jan. 29, Deutsche Wohnen said it reserved the right to settle the convertible bonds in cash, meaning the holders won't necessarily have any shares to tender.
Vonovia will continue to include convertible bondholders' tender commitments in its tally ahead of the Feb. 9 deadline, spokeswoman Nina Henckel said by e-mail. Most convertible bondholders -- which Vonovia's says represent almost 12 percent of Deutsche Wohnen stock -- have told Vonovia they'll participate in the deal, Henckel said.
The low level of acceptances, combined with Vonovia's decision to count convertible bondholders even though they may ultimately not receive shares, suggests that the takeover will probably fail, said Peter Papadakos, an analyst at Green Street Advisors in London. "It seems to me the deal is dead," he said.
Vonovia needs acceptances from investors representing about 50 percent of Deutsche Wohnen shares for the bid to succeed.

Too much
Colorful, showy and …a little kitsch. Over-the-top is charming
70s-style whirlwinds and the obsession for David LaChapelle turn the look into an over-embellished dummy where excess and kitsch stand out, thanks to playful creativity beyond reality
Clashing patterns are combined to create a shocking effect. From the tie-dye ensemble by Cedric Charlier to the Emanuel Ungaro look where Prince of Wales is paired with abstract patterns, polka dots blend with stylized flowers. Nothing is left to chance: colors find their balance.
70-style patterns vibrate with their acid colors, from the lime yellow seen at Fausto Puglisi to the sky blue on Emilio Pucci signature geometric patterns. Our attention is captured right here: the kaleidoscopic prints by House of Holland mesmerize us with their colorful whirlwinds.
For the day we suggest animal prints: the fluoro blue ensemble by Just Cavalli is dedicated to LaChapelle, revisiting the feline mantle.
Accessories to choose from: the two-tone ponyskin lace-up shoes with maxi platform by Alaïa teamed with the glitter clutch by Shourouk.

Vitamins and minerals are micronutrients. This means that they are needed by your body in small quantity but they are important for proper functioning of the body.
They are needed for various functions of the body like maintaining your eyesight, strengthening of bones. However many people are not aware that vitamins and minerals are essential for the body.
Vitamins are essential nutrients are needed for optimal functioning of various organs and tissues in the body. The 13 types of vitamins that your body absolutely needs are-- vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and the B vitamins (thiamine/B1, riboflavin/B2, niacin/B3, pantothenic acid/B5, biotin/B7, B6, B12 and folate/B9). Some of these vitamins are water-soluble whereas others are fat soluble.
Do You Need a Vitamin or Mineral Supplement?
Most people without special health needs do not need vitamin or mineral supplements. Their requirement of vitamins and minerals can be met by eating a balanced diet.
If you have special needs or believe that you're not getting enough vitamins and minerals consult your doctor or a registered dietitian before starting any kind of vitamin or mineral supplement.
Some people who definitely need to vitamins and mineral supplements are;
But it is important to remember that---the best way to get the vitamins and minerals you need is by eating a well balanced and nutritious diet. Even if you need to take supplements do not ignore your diet—use supplement to fill in the gaps. Before starting any supplement consult your doctor as even vitamin and mineral supplements can have adverse effects.

Image of God and the Psychology of Religion by Richard L. Dayringer
Book DescriptionWhat are the implications of a client's image of God? Improve your confidence--and your practice skills--by enhancing your knowledge of how individuals are likely to perceive God, and of how those perceptions impact the way they function as human beings. Theologians have long speculated and theorized about how humans imagine God to be. This book merges theology with science, presenting empirical research focused on perceptions of God in a variety of populations living in community and mental health settings. Each chapter concludes with references that comprise an essential reading list, and the book is generously enhanced with tables that make data easy to access and understand. * "Liberating Images of God" discusses the constriction and impoverishment of God images due to the traditional restrictions of God images to those that are male and personified. This chapter examines the potential for the client and counselor's co-creation of images of God which embrace the feminine as well as the masculine, the nurturer as well as the warrior, and the natural world in all its dimensions as well as the human world, to liberate, enrich, sustain, and transform the client's relationships with God and with him/herself. * "Attachment, Well-Being, and Religious Participation Among People with Severe Mental Disorders" examines the relationship between attachment states of mind and religious participation among people diagnosed with severe mental illness. * "Concepts of God and Therapeutic Alliance Among People with Severe Mental Disorders" explores the transferential aspects of God representation among severely mentally ill adults. It highlights research on the relationship between a patient's image of God and that patient's working relationship with his/her case manager, and discusses the implications for clinical practice of those findings. * "The Subjective Experience of God" presents a theory about the psychological basis for the experience of God that argues that this experience is essentially a form of projection and as such is an internal event that does not exist independent of an individual's psyche. This chapter draws a distinction between faith in a particular belief--namely, faith in the existence of a loving, omnipotent God--and an attitude of faith, which is the basis for experiences of transcendence. * "Relationship of Gender Role Identity and Attitudes" presents the results of a study in which nearly 300 Catholic attendees at three university Catholic centers completed the Bern Sex Role Inventory, the Attitudes Toward Women Scale, and the Perceptions of God Checklist. This chapter looks at images of God as masculine or feminine, and at the connection for people between the way they perceive God and the way they relate towards men and women. * "Reflections on a Study in a Mental Hospital," brings you groundbreaking new research on perceptions of God in an inpatient population. This chapter examines the positive effects (as opposed to the negative effects previously portrayed by the psychological community) of religious belief and practice for residential care patients in a psychiatric hospital.

- Summary: Eminem continues his forward momentum with confrontational, angst-ridden rap that digs deep into the psyche on his new album.

Jan 7, 2011No matter how cleverly he's rhyming, which varies, he could use subject matter beyond married-to-the-game and his traditional obsessions. But with Shady in the shadows, rarely are these themes lifted by Em's long-recessive sense of play.
Recovery is his most casual-sounding album in years, with odes to a "white-trash party" ("W.T.P.") and songs that hearken back to his freewheeling early records--rhymes as goofy and imaginative as they are violent and profane.
A wide array of producers means that Recovery isn't as consistent as Eminem's best albums--his second and third--but there are significantly more highlights here than on either of his previous two.
Recovery is thwarted by similarly ill-fitting decisions.... The central salvation is Mather's enduring virtuosity. Throughout Recovery, he weaves dazzling internal patterns and clever word play.
This album is audible therapy, complete with several cuts of Eminem apologizing, taking responsibility for being a terrible rapper, and promising to get better.
Out of all the depressing aspects of Recovery, the worst is the realization that for listeners the album takes the opposite arc-- the more he motors on about having reclaimed his passion for hip-hop and finally figured out who he is, the more draining the album becomes.

The beats and chorus are very "pop" oriented, but it doesn't detract at all from his overwhelming talent as an MC.

Yes, thats suuuper annoying! I thought I was the only one :/
Disable it completely.
A simple toggle ON or OFF in General settings would be marvelous.
I can login as a member account and fine..but previewing the page as an admin it won't allow it and it's confusing to force it to allow it.
You need to physically shut the page out then open it again..
Honestly, it's a hinderance.
Especially when I'm designing pages and all I want to do is see how it looks??!!
Please fix this ridiculously annoying issue. How could any developer think that locking a admin out of his own site 95% of the time is a smart idea?
I agree. It would be really helpful.
Keep in mind everyone...Please don't just leave a comment.

Love this idea....instead of making a big fruit salad! Pretty on the table too!
How adorable. Mother-in-law gift.

Wedding-day white teeth! My dentist actually told me about this. Use a little toothpaste, mix in one teaspoon baking soda plus one teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide, half a teaspoon water. Thoroughly mix then brush your teeth for two minutes. Remember to do it once a week until you have reached the results you want. Once your teeth are good and white, limit yourself to using the whitening treatment once every month or two.
Year you met, year you were married.
Love this!

But put all that Academy pandering aside, and Milk is still a slippery, sloppy mess. Van Sant's social probing into the life of city supervisor Harvey Milk and the Castro area of San Francisco holds so many hiccups and contradictions you begin to question the passion he holds for his subjects. In a speech to campaign staffers and friends, Harvey Milk rails against the respect for personal privacy (he calls for staff members to out themselves and anyone they know), yet a central theme of his campaign is the importance of preserving and protecting civil rights. And despite carefully changing his own image so as to present a cleaner persona towards a broader electorate, Harvey urges friend Cleve Jones to "never blend in". Who is this guy?!?!
Despite the acclaim, Gus Van Sant has never been a friend to admirers of gay cinema. His sole contribution has been in feeding the stereotype of the lustful, promiscuous gay cruiser. True, no matter straight or gay, we are all men, with sex long on the mind, often working towards a game plan to scratch that itch, but Van Sant's depiction of intimate gay relationships eschews our universal capacity to love and focuses on the fleeting fancies of the flesh. After a historic victory for Harvey as the first openly gay man elected to office, two of his staffers celebrate by giving each other blowjobs in a supply closet. When one goes in for a kiss (a symbol of honest intimacy) he's denied and shoved back down to finish the job.
Even the depiction of Harvey's two major love interests are introduced in shallow fashion. Harvey first meets Scotty (James Franco, whose performance is one of Milk's few bright spots) on the steps of a subway station and has him home in bed within minutes. Later, Jack (Diego Luna), a vagabond who stumbles onto the front steps of Harvey's campaign headquarters has sex with him before even knowing his name. Van Sant then shoots their post-coital conversation as is if they've been cuddly, romantic partners for some time... yet it hasn't been two hours. Not only does this feel phony, but, again, it feeds the mainstream stereotypes of gay relationships.
This is antithetical to one of 2008's truly great gay-themed films Before I Forget, where director Jasques Nolot wrestled with the aftermaths in choosing a life of casual sex over a relationship of love. Nolot infused Before I Forget's sex scenes with the weight of the varying consequences and treats we experience when deciding to physically give ourselves to another. Van Sant just treats it as a punchline. His visualizations of sex consist of bouncing light off bare asses and smooth skin. It's emotionless. The only reason Van Sant shoots the naked body continually seems to be for his own gratification.
There are more instances to point out, but the biggest head-scratching moment comes after Harvey gives a rousing speech against religious zealot, and state senator, John Briggs concerning his Proposition 6. From there Van Sant cuts to Harvey Milk murderer, and fellow city supervisor, Dan White, speaking out against nudity in gay pride parades. By juxtaposing these scenes, Van Sant implies that White's comments are oppressive and on equal ground with Proposition 6, but does anyone think public nudity is ok?!? White's comment is valid, yet because of who he turned out to be, Van Sant automatically frames this single opinion as bigoted. It's a microcosm of the total mess of Milk. Clearly, Van Sant needs to stick with the moody, meandering films he produced post-Finding Forrester, because that's where his mind is at.

My own "Milk" review is mostly finished, so I thought I'd treat myself to yours. I see some similarities in our analyses, but far more differences.
A few key rebuttals that won't be found in my review:
* Yes, Harvey is contradictory. Most people are. That's not a storytelling hiccup. That's life. That we've come to expect figures to be so one-dimensional says more about other biopics than this one. (Actually, we expect our biopic figures to be two-dimensional: usually part 'talented,' in whatever respect, and part held back by a drug addiction. Yawn.)
* If Harvey could have fought the establishment without cutting his hair and without exposing his personal life, don't you think he would have? That's the point. To get into the arena, you have to wear the uniform. After there's change, you can go back. It takes a Jackie Robinson to pave the way for an Allen Iverson, if you get my drift. That's what Harvey learns.
* It is a personal privacy issue. No one should have their rights withheld for things they do within the privacy of their own home (presuming it doesn't harm anyone). But by requesting his friends to out themselves, Harvey is recognizing that so long as gays stay closeted, closed-minded people will imagine the worst. Gays needed to out themselves, reveal themselves to be normal, and let the world see that they don't destroy the fabric of society. But, that said, it's more than a personal privacy issue. "It's our life," he says at some point. Along the way, Harvey realizes that they should be able to live their lives publicly, just like everyone else. The film charts that progression.
* The film is aware of Harvey's contradictions. A character points out that Harvey himself fought at all costs from stepping out of the closet. That's the character. That's the man. The film is faithful to that truth.
* As far as the images of sexuality: Real-life sex comes in all forms. From what it sounds like, Harvey was somewhat promiscuous. This was also in the pre-AIDS scare and closer in spirit to the free love 60s. So that's part of it. Yes, you can look at the depiction of the celebratory sex (not including Harvey) and say it's an insulting stereotype. Or you can say that the film is treating gays just like "The Dark Knight" treats the heterosexual couple who are caught doing it at a party. Did you find that offensive? This is a step forward, not a step back. It's saying, yes, gay men fuck and blow. It's not saying gay men can't control themselves, just as a movie about a child molesting priest isn't saying that every man of the cloth touches children.
* I didn't think the sex depictions were emotionless. Far from it. This film repeatedly shows men engaging in behavior that's far more intimate than fucking -- close talking, soft kisses, touching of foreheads. And then it shows sex as, well, sex. Is it memorable? No. It's just sex. That's reality. If every sex scene -- hetero or homo -- has to mirror the romanticism of "Australia," we're in trouble.
* My memory of your biggest "head scratcher" is a little fuzzy. I don't doubt your account, but I also don't remember shots of anyone actually naked. So going by my vague memory and your text, my thought would be that it shows White to be uncomfortable with gays wearing the same amount of clothing that people wear to the beach. Thus his discomfort isn't because of the skin but the context: gay men together in partial-nudity.
* Those disagreements aside, I agree that it's "checklist storytelling." More thoughts on this movie, which I quite enjoyed, when I get the time to finish my review in a day or two.

Great review. The things you pointed out are most of the huge problems I have with contemporary gay cinema, which is unfortunate, but it makes it even more special when something amazing (like Hedwig or Happy Together) comes along.
- Fox said...
* Yes, Harvey is contradictory. Most people are. That's not a storytelling hiccup. That's life.
But Van Sant doesn't handle it that way. He's unaware of these inconsistencies b/c he doesn't acknowledge them (except for the instance when Scotty confronts Harvey on his "closetedness".)
Same for Lance Black's script. You're right that all people are contradictory, but the film doesn't consciously grapple with that. It's just a product of bad film making. It pops up b/c the writing is poor.
That's the point. To get into the arena, you have to wear the uniform. After there's change, you can go back.
Then why doesn't Harvey go back to his long hair? Why does he carry this line of "never blend in" - a tag line on the poster - if he learns that "blending in" is a key to changing things.
On privacy...
In that scene Harvey is pretty much drawing a line that if you don't out yourself then you're out of the "cause" that I'm championing. That's ridiculous. Such a stance is not respecting an individual's right to live their life the way they choose. It's forceful conformism. This type of bullying comes out in the scene when Harvey threatens the mayor in his office "like a teamster".
Or you can say that the film is treating gays just like "The Dark Knight" treats the heterosexual couple who are caught doing it at a party. Did you find that offensive? This is a step forward, not a step back. It's saying, yes, gay men fuck and blow.
I don't find any of it "offensive". My point, and where we disagree, is that is IS a step back, NOT a step forward. The specific scene is about gays moving on past a perceived stereotype, yet Van Sant can't help to throw sex into the mix for mere titilation.
It's not that showing blowjobs in Milk is inconsistent with gay life (I would feel odd about the movie if it refrained from showing sex), it's that these moments are misplaced. Why cap a scene of a gay man breaking barriers with a cheap sex scene? Van Sant ruins the moment. A good filmmaker wouldn't make that mistake. I really think Van Sant is out of his league here.
- Fox said...
Thanks Slayton. The odd thing - and I guess this is the way things generally go - is that honest gay cinema is going on underneath Hollywood, yet they don't learn from it b/c they aren't paying attention.
The Bubble, Before I Forget, I Don't Want To Sleep Alone... these are just a few off the top of my head that are exceptional in the face of mush like Milk.
Again, I go back to my feeling that Van Sant doesn't really care about gay cinema. Which is fine, he doesn't need to care. But with Milk, he's putting up a false flag.
- Jason Bellamy said...
Okay, my friend. This is going to get heated (in a respectful, passionate-about-the-arguments sort of way), because we significantly disagree on several points.
* You keep illustrating problems with Harvey. Those are Harvey's problems, not the film's. This is like disliking "The Godfather" because you're against killing. It's the same thing I was up against with "Happy-Go-Lucky."
* Why didn't he grow his hair long after he won? Well, someone fucking shot him. There's that. And because the fight wasn't over. That's what the film is about. The fight. "Let's bring the fight to us," he says. You think Harvey was done championing his cause? You think he still wasn't aware of what he needed to do to have a shot of being heard by a far more conservative America? You think being the first openly gay person to hold office and baiting the opposition into televised debates is "blending in"? The man was more than his clothes and hair.
* You acknowledge that the film puts in plain language that Harvey was contradictory. You name another scene in which it's clear that he's becoming part of the machine. How overt must the film be? Aren't we against the kind of "Crash" message-in-neon kind of writing? Why does this movie need footnotes?
* As for the blow scene: Okay. If your point is that you don't like the juxtaposition, fine. I can see where you're coming from there. But what about this? What if it happened? Van Sant's supposed to say: "Well, yeah, I know you blew a guy and had mad sex in celebration. But I'm not going to show that because it plays to a stereotype. And, black dude, I know you like fried chicken, but you aren't allowed to eat it, because that's a stereotype, too."
Socially, this kind of basic honesty is a step forward. It's saying: "the guys were happy and they fucked accordingly, deal with it." A "cheap sex scene?" It's, what, a 3 second moment amidst all kinds of celebration, the rest not including sex? "Ruins the moment"? Really?
And this is the thing: gays having gay sex isn't an unfair stereotype. It's reality. Gays being unfit to run a business or serve public office? That's an unfair stereotype. That's what the film is about. There's no contradiction here.
* I don't think it's worth much, but I'll share this anyway: There was a presumably gay guy at my packed screening who cheered nearly every slightly sex-charged scene. (I wanted to punch him. Then again, if I were gay and all too rarely got to see people like me doing anything even slightly naughty in mainstream cinema, I'd probably cheer to.) If I made the movie of my experience watching the film and included that moment, you might say it's a stereotype -- the sex-crazed gay male, so turned on he can't control himself. Well, guess what, it happened.
* This actually takes me to Tina Fey's recent comments about how the charges that her Palin jokes during the campaign were sexist were the things that were sexist, as if Palin couldn't take them. Palin ran with the idea that she could serve, protect and defend as well as any man. So she can certainly take the criticism of any male politician. Likewise, gays can be shown in unflattering light without it being a step back. There was nothing malicious here. In fact, I don't think there's anything unflattering here. If I'd have been offered a hummer to celebrate the last election night, I most certainly would have taken it.
* None of these arguments suggest that Van Sant is a terrific filmmaker or "Milk" a major work of art. But this isn't "gay cinema," just like "Brokeback Mountain" wasn't, just like "Philadelphia" wasn't. It's a movie about gay people.
- Jason Bellamy said...
Fox ... between our recent debates on docs, JCVD, Happy-Go-Lucky and now this ... I'm beginning to wonder how our blogs could stand without the other to offer balance. To be clear: I'm grateful for the honest debate that always unfolds here and at The Cooler.
- Fox said...
My point is that the problems with Harvey's character and/or portrayal are as result of Van Sant's filmmaking and Lance Black's writing. The flubs or contradictions about Harvey that I point to are not - in my opinion - a conscious decision by writer & director, but a product of their amateurishness.
My point about the blowjob scene isn't that it's a dishonest image, it's that it's unnecessary for the moment. It's moronic. It would be like a woman flashing her tits b/c Obama just won the presidency. Where's the value beyond empty titilation.
I'm not really getting the connection you're making between blacks and black stereotypes, but I'll play along...
Let's say - again, using a made up movie about Obama as an example - that after Obama gives his victory speech the camera cuts to a group of blacks hollering and eating fried chicken. Yeah, I'd think that that'd be questionable, because it carries no relevance other than generating an audience reaction from a perceived cultural stereotype (even if it's based in truth).
It's not that showing gays having sex or blacks eating fried chicken is out of bounds - b/c it's definitely not - it's the context of those images that can make them cheap, and I think that's exactly what Van Sant does in that scene.
p.s. I also love the debates. It's the best way for me to really get a movie, b/c my own thoughts definitely aren't enough.
- Jason Bellamy said...
Hmmm. Well, I'll stop arguing the point on the Milk contradictions, because I'm confident the filmmakers had a clue and you're confident they didn't. Nuff said.
On the b.j. ...
I'm glad you provided the fried chicken/Obama example, because it illustrates to me how you see the scene -- as if Oprah and Jesse Jackson were seen munching on KFC in Hyde Park. If that's the way the scene played, then I get it.
That's not the way it played for me at all. Which is to say that nothing seemed unusual about it. Not because they were gay. Just because they were two people celebrating a big win on the campaign trail. Worked for Josh and Donna on "The West Wing," and it worked here, I thought.
So seeing it through that view, I can understand your step-back angle. But I think that viewpoint hinges on the idea that Van Sant is either clueless or foolish in his handling of this material, and I don't think he is.
So we agree to disagree again, I guess, but at least I can see where you're coming from more clearly.
- Fox said...
Well, on the Obama/fried chicken thing... I don't think it's the best example that I could provide, because I think the two things (gay blowjobs and fried chicken... I'm sorry but that is cracking me up that I just typed that... In fact, if someone ever starts a blog called Blowjobs & Fried Chicken, they will be my immediate hero) are separate beasts. But, yeah, I think it got us to the place I was aiming for.
But yeah, I don't think I'll convince you (or vice versa), nor do I think that was either one of our intentions. But I surely understand your reading of it as well.
Personally, though, I wouldn't give Van Sant the benefit of the doubt that you do. And that just goes back to me seeing him as a fairly overrated director. I don't think he does straight filmmaking (no pun intended) well. I'm not a fan of his in general, but I prefer a film like Last Days to Milk or To Die For or My Own Private Idaho.
In fact, thinking on that now, it would've been much more interesting to have seen Van Sant tackle Harvey Milk in pseudo-biopic fashion the way he did with Kurt Cobain in Last Days. Instead, he was hampered with a dud of a script and Oscar ambitions. Oh well... so it goes.
p.s. It seems that we agree on Australia!
- Marilyn said...
I have no real interest in seeing this film because 1) biopics are almost always lame and 2) The Times of Harvey Milk cannot be improved upon.
Reading this back and forth without seeing the film may seem like an exercise in futility, but Jason's point about celebratory sex reminds me of a similar scene in Six Degrees of Separation in which Will Smith's character invites a hustler up to have sex because he's so happy. There was a lot of depth to this scene because he faced his hosts with the reality that if they have sex when they're happy, why shouldn't he? But it also served to bring their hypocrisies and their insulating fear - turning the encounter into dinner conversation made more dramatic by the addition of remarks, "We could have been killed in our sleep. Our throats cut."
In doing a bit of research for my review of Black Orpheus, I'm finding a tremendous amount of negativity, much of it having to do with racial stereotyping (in one scene a couple is eating watermelon). I think these reviewers can't see the forest for the trees - looking for something to be offended by instead of wondering whether these characters would eat watermelon. I won't say Brazilian cinema doesn't have its share of Steppin' Fetchit moments for the entertainment of white audiences, but this wasn't one of them.
- Jason Bellamy said...
Blowjobs & Fried Chicken? I think it's a club in Vegas. It's also what I'm going to name my first two dogs. "Blowjobs...come!" Ugh.
- Fox said...
Good points, but I want to be clear that I didn't find the sex scene offensive, just insubstantial or even gratuitous. Now, calling it that is just gonna be a matter of interpretation, but that's how I see it.
By playing into stereotypes, I don't Van Sant is being "offensive", just stale, dry, and boring.
Now on your Six Degrees of Separation comment, I have a question about that scene... Weren't the homeowners upset b/c he let a stranger into their house w/o their consent?
- Marilyn said...
I understand, Fox, and I wasn't really commenting on Milk because I haven't seen it. I just know what you're talking about and also see where Jason is coming from.
Yes, they were upset that he let someone into their place, the "would-be cuttroat." That is one of the most caustic films I know about the 80s, very unusual in that it took on the "Greed Is Good" ethos of the time and stripped it to its skivvies.
- Fletch said...
I'm with Jason on everyone one of his points that he makes in the first comment. It makes it seem as though you missed the point of the movie, and of Milk himself. He knew the power of the politician, and the games that one must play (and the personal sacrifices one must make) to gain that power; thus, he cleaned up his image to play "their" game while at the same time turning to those around him and telling him not to do it. In a political sense, it makes perfect sense.
Keep in mind I knew almost nothing about Milk prior to the film and am taking all that just from having seen it. I don't think Van Sant painted him as an angel, and we'd be equally upset if he had.
- Fox said...
The tagline for the movie is NEVER BLEND IN. Harvey Milk tells Cleve Jones, "Never blend in".
Van Sant clearly wants to make that "never blending in" a theme of his film, yet he never confronts the fact that Harvey Milk succeeds by indeed "blending in".
I don't fault Harvey Milk the person for making that decision; politically it is very smart. I fault Van Sant for pretending to make a movie about something when he really isn't.
- Jason Bellamy said...
Every time I think I'm out, you pull me right back in ...
Ok, Fox. Had to reply to the most recent comment.
First: Just like newspaper reporters don't write headlines, directors and screenwriters don't write marketing taglines for posters.
Second: I'll repeat what I said above ... the guy was the first openly gay person to be elected to public office. He did this out of the Castro district in San Fran. He marched alongside gays who were in full flaming effect. There's no secret to who he was. You call that blending in? I think you're putting way too much stock in a haircut and a wardrobe change and not enough stock in what it meant at the time to say, "Hi, I'm gay."
Third: It's not like Harvey just wakes up one day with a haircut and the movie pays it no mind. It make a big deal of it. What more does the film need to "confront" it?
What is "Milk" missing? What should Van Sant have included that he didn't...specifically?
- Fox said...
It should have had Harvey conceding and acknowledging this revelation in some way other than a tossed-off joke of a scene of him appearing in a suit. That's not "making a big deal" of it.
And I doubt Van Sant had nothing to do with the tagline of the movie.
- aunt john said...
I was most troubled by the parade of bad hairpieces. Seriously, what was on Diego Luna's head?
- Fox said...
Aunt John-
I think it was Rip Taylor's mustache.
Brolin's wig bothered me the most. It was just like one big comb over.
Actually, Allison Pill's wig really freaked me out too. If they were aiming for androgyny, they nailed it! I honestly didn't know that was her until my wife mentioned it to me.
- aunt john said...
The Allison Pill look, I believe, was Sally Struthers meets Shirley Hemphill in a back alley.
And was I the only one who wanted to punch Emile Hirsh in his Charles Nelson Reilly glasses every time he came on screen?
Oh, I was?
OK, never mind.
- Fox said...
Aunt John-
Oh, you are so accurate on your Charles Nelson Riley dig. Thinking back on Hirsh's performance it is all over him. Hilarious.
- MovieMan0283 said...
Fox, I just wrote this up:
but oddly enough, had almost the opposite reaction. In particular, I was surprised that Van Sant - in my view - largely eschewed eroticism to make the romances onscreen cuddlier and, presumably, more palatable for mass consumption (I had the opposite view of Brokeback Mountain, which I think fits many of your criticisms nicely).
I do have some of the same political objections too - particularly of Milk's forced-outing strategy - but I pretty much left these, along with the by-now-tired Prop 8 analogies (which I don't really think is a very good analogy anyway) out of my review. I didn't even notice the nudity thing though, you do have an interesting point there. I do like the fact that, as you have with Che, you call foul on liberal/left pieties when you smell a stinker.
Anyway, I actually did like Milk a lot, though I certainly don't think it achieved greatness. I also did not see at as inconsistent the way you seem to have read it, but I didn't approach the film with a very critical mindset, more of "what have you got for me" attitude. Hey, the power was out, and I had been denied movies for several days (unless you can't the turgid Australia) - what do you want from me?!
Back to the eroticism/sex thing, I think we do concur on one point: you thought Van Sant overdid the sex, I thought he underplayed it (and I'm not saying I wanted more sex scenes, but the homosexuality did feel more like a surface thing as a result of Van Sant downplaying the sexuality.) But we both agree that whatever there was onscreen in terms of sensuality was "emotionless".
- Fox said...
Better late than never! :)
Good comments, and I think you make a good point about the cuddliness he portrays.
My quick reaction was to say, "yeah, but could they really be that cuddly so soon?"... but thinking on it, I would concede to you, and Jason Bellamy, that that doesn't really matter. It's the affection shown between the two men, and not the reality to when that affection was born.
Now to go read your review!
- Starchild said...
*Lots* of people think public nudity is OK, and it *is* a civil rights issue. Gus Van Zant was insightful in showing Dan White making that comment, because it raises broader issues of intolerance beyond just the main issue of the film which was gay rights.
Hopefully it will prompt some viewers who may be tolerant when it comes to GLBTQ people to reexamine other prejudices they may hold, such as the common but nevertheless irrational one against people appearing in public as we all were born, unclothed.
- MovieMan0283 said...
Among the many other objections, there are people who were abused and are uncomfortable around nude strangers as a result. We can make a "tolerance" issue out of anything; I don't think this cuts the mustard.
The New York Film Critics Circle named this film the best of 2008. But what do they know?
The film has issues, but it's not within hailing distance from the "mess" you claim it to be.
Your comment threads are among he most engrossing I have seen at any site.
As far as gay cinema goes, I guess my favorite film would be "Beautiful Thing."
I think that we need to stop making this so much about how the gay community was depicted and more on the fact that Sean Penn did great job and showing what Milk did for the Gay community. The fact that alcohol treatment centers were not a thing that was needed by anyone in the movie was great news to me. I loved the movie.
- Fletch said...
That was far and away the best spam comment I've seen in some time. I even did a double take to make sure the content indeed didn't make sense. Kudos, "Mark Smith" - I too am thrilled that alcohol treatment centers weren't required of any of the characters in Milk. Maybe in the sequel, though...
- PIPER said...
I just watched Milk and wanted to come back to your review. I'll admit that Van Sant doesn't really want to have anything to do with true intimacy. It truly is limited to "cruising" with him. I will argue though that My Own Private Idaho explored this a bit better. But still it's scratching the surface.
And I agree that this gets bogged down with checking the boxes all biopics check.
What I will disagree with you on is in relation to Prop 6. He wanted people "outed" so that it became a real issue. So that people knew how many gay people there were out there. It doesn't make sense to fight for the rights people are so quiet about. Of course the risk is that if Prop 6 passes, all these people have "outed" themselves and risk losing their jobs.
What I found interesting is that I'm assuming that Penn's speeches were more or less word for word those of Milk. And, well, I didn't find them that moving. They seemed pretty basic to me. I didn't find that he had the words for the moment.
But maybe the worst part was the ending, after he had died. When two of his closest friends went to his ceremony where there only seemed to be a few people. Scott says "where is everyone. Didn't anyone care?" And then they wander over to the giant march. Really? They didn't know? As plugged in to the gay population as they were? It felt like the worst kind of movie manipulation to me.
I guess more than anything I watched this to watch Penn. And I thought he did a pretty good job with the material.

We're currently staying in serviced apartments, and the cleaning lady said to me "it's so unfair that the little boys get the long lashes", referring to my DD.
I mean, yeah, she was wearing a black and white outfit, and her hair was down/in her eyes, but it's LONG (like, nearly top of shoulder blades level), and curly. And there were pink shoes right next to the door.
I mean, I know shoe colour eventually means nothing, but she's 18 months... She doesn't exactly pick her own clothes out yet.
I did get profuse apologies. As apparently she has a GD who's bald as an egg and her daughter gets ****ed when people call granddaughter a boy.
-sigh- downside to DD starting to look more like her daddy I suppose.

A Washington state community college is under fire for excluding white faculty, staff and students from 'Diversity Happy Hour.'
OLYMPIA, Wash. — South Puget Sound Community College says it was a mistake for an employee group to invite only people of color to a diversity "happy hour."
The group that sent out the email last week apologized the next day and canceled the event, said Kellie Purce Braseth, dean of college relations.
The college believes the best way to celebrate and discuss diversity is to include everyone, Braseth told KING (http://bit.ly/1qvHzjW ).
"If you want to come you should be able to come; that just makes a richer conversation," she said.
The invitation to all 300 staffers said the "Staff, Faculty and Administrators of Color" encouraged employees to reply to the invitation to find out the confidential date and time of what was being called a "happy hour" to "build support and community" for people of color.
The invite made it clear white people were not welcome.
"If you want to create space for white folks to meet and work on racism, white supremacy, and white privilege to better our campus community and yourselves, please feel free to do just that," the email read.
Karama Blackhorn, program coordinator for the school's Diversity and Equity Center, helped write the invitation.
It could have been worded differently, but she maintains the staff members of color would have a more honest discussion about race without white employees.
Explicitly talking about race "can be a really difficult conversation for a lot of people," Blackhorn said.
