Subject: James Franco reads Pynchon; Sean Penn quesions him about 'it'.

Portraying Sean Penn's love interest in "Milk," director Gus Van Sant's
biopic about slain San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk earlier this year,
Franco stole many an off-camera moment to plow through the works of Thomas
Pynchon. "That was the craziest seminar I could ever imagine," said Franco.
"It was 'Gravity's Rainbow,' 'Mason & Dixon,' 'V.' So I'd be reading that on
the set and Sean would be like, 'What do you make of all that?'"
