In a film class in college, I compared the up and over shot in Citizen Kane to this one particular explosion scene in bad boys 2 and the professor asked me to leave.

The world doesn't need and didn't ask for this movie. Call me a gatekeeper all you want. Fuck this.

Oh no no- You're not an ACTUAL gatekeeper, you just think you are. Like a gatekeeper with no actual power over what you wish you could control in relation to skateboarding.

HINT: If a movie gets unanimous praise from critics, 90% of the time it means it's a good movie. The people who talk shit on movie critics because they think films that critics favor are boring or pretentious are tasteless dipshits who prefer superhero or transformers movies to actual cinema that have NO business voicing their opinion on any film, ESPECIALLY when all they've seen is the trailer.
I don’t even watch movies anymore I just read the reviews. They’re the professionals they know best!

that main kid looks like a bizarre KD Lang in miniature.
that's smart jonah, go for the aging skater and the aging lesbian dollar.
There has been alot of movie people copying kds look, I thought Edward furlong was another.    Honestly people with that look about their facial features can be pretty beutiful.
Punky rat face looking androdnous beauty. Kd prolly came after someone else. (Edit maybe being recyled to shit at this point tho like everything else in Hollywood, duplicate duplicate.)

Everyone is giving it praise,I've yet to see a shit review by someone thst saw it. Maybe it is good? I don't know. I'm in no rush to see it,but expect my grandma to talk to me about it after seeing Jonah on tv promoting it

From the two times I've seen it at TIFF, although I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, there's no cohesive plot other than let's see what this kid gets into today. His mom and brother get underused in this which kinda sucked, and there aren't many consequences for their actions, felt this especially in the final act. Also, I know it won't matter to a lot of people here, but the dialogue will probably get in some hot water with PC people.

After watching Minding the Gap today, 2018 has been a good year for skateboarding "movies" for the most part. This doc, along with mid90s and Skate Kitchen, here are three movies that each have something skaters to relate to. It wasn't until I watched MTG where it felt a little to real as I can compare those people in the doc to myself and some of my friends I used to skate with - and how much skating was used as an outlet to escape.

It's not going to be objectively bad, it's being distributed by a24 so it's obviously going to be somewhat fresh and decent.

It's just the whole self-righteousness of the movie that's pissing people off as Jonah Hill has found his segue into credible film making by "posing" as a skater and everyone is just accepting that.

Like the other two guys (meza is okay) in that photo aren't great in modern times, templeton is basically regular and a paranoid liberal wreck & hsu is hustling years of tumblr fame into a trendy commodity.

I'm just saying there's a bunch of shills surrounding this movie & everyone is completely cool with that

The below images show that Jonah Hill is having the reverse career of Jon Newport which means soon enough he'll be sponsored by Ipath and Popwar

I will admit I have posted about this way too much and I'm not proud of it.

But it's also fun/easy to debate people like you who aren't able to back up your posts with facts or logic.

Most of these "relevant" pros wouldn't give a fuck if skateboarding itself was bought by Under Armour tomorrow, stop pretending that these dudes have any backbone left.

I am unironically much looking forward to greco's new piece over this

I'm not trying to use facts or logic at all. It just amuses me how offended you are when people don't praise this crap.

I'm not asking anyone to praise it, fuck, I don't even know if I'm going to like it.

I'm just calling out undeserved hate and assumptions for what they are.

Sorry y'all I'ma shut the fuck up about this now.

That's where we disagree, this project is absolutely deserving of hate and assumptions.

This is idiotic. I was born in April 83 and was in Junior High in the mid-90s, which is when you should be at peak skateboarding obsession. Back then my Video Days and Questionable tapes were worn out so shut up, bitch.

Hi Jonah, won't see your movie, I know it sucks and no kid in the 90's would look like the blonde guy who looks like a girl
