THIS WEEK: If you've never seen the documentary that preceded Gus Van Sant's "Milk," you're in luck. "The Times of Harvey Milk," a tear-jerking take on the life and murder of the ground-breaking gay politician is playing every day through Thursday at the AFI Silver Theatre. If you're not moved by the footage of the vast vigil held in San Francisco after "Milk" was shot, you're not allowed to sit next to us.
