North Hollywood was an objectively terrible movie

His mom works in the movie industry. Obviously the only reason Jonah got into the movie industry is because of his mommy but the reason he stayed is because he has talent.

Slap loves to hate on Jonah but mid 90’s was a really successful movie. I remember me and the crew watching it in theaters and it was packed and stayed there for a good 3 weeks which is rare. We didn’t think much of it but the cinematography was at least decent. Jonah is also a genuinely good actor, his perfomances in war dogs and Maniac are simply brilliant. I also feel like he gets a bad rap for « cashing in » even though he’s been in the culture since he was a little kid so yeah putting whoever the fuck the blodney clone is on jonah’s level is unfair and an insult to Jonah. Still waiting on that kickflip footy though

Hey anyone got any more info on this Jonah Hill/Spike Jonze beef? I can't seem to find any info on either of their wikipedia pages. In fact, Mikey Alfred isn't mentioned on their wikipedias at all?!

"That's a long story"

Sounds like some buster shit. I could only listen to this guy talk for, like, two minutes.

Edit: that doritos vid is hilarious. And his use of the word "apex" lol. I still kind of wish I'd never heard of him though.

[close]

Many that's shitty, I knew he was involved in Mid 90's from a production standpoint and definitely assumed Jonah brought him on basically to help him break into the industry (which if i remember correctly his mother works for a major studio and he got an internship at like 16 with one) but what a prick. Not to defend jonah hill but he definitely did not need to do this dude any favors by giving him an opportunity. As if anyone in this movie wouldn't have taken the opportunity without Mikey Alfraud (copyright pending) doing the casting.

Weirdest thing to me about that interview has always been that Big Boy was basically wrapping the whole thing up and Mikey was just like “how about another 5 minutes so I can call some dudes out because they are better than me at what I want to do.”

Mid90s made just over $9M.  That’s not super successful.   It was successful only in the sense it gave Jonah a chance to direct his first feature and he made people’s money back.   

Mikey’s mom, if I recall, works in the industry in the sense she was Robert Evans’s housekeeper or assistant or something like that.

A24 isn’t some mom and pop shop.  It was a relationship building move with little risk, but far from being “really successful”.  It’s great it didn’t lose money, but it was a modest niche film that did about what they expected.  Also, A24 is mainly a distribution company.  That’s the key thing North Hollywood didn’t have.  Means they didn’t necessarily put that money into the budget, so there’s no saying who all that money went to and in what order.   Also, Prints and Advertising is going to tack on a significant chunk of money to the budget cost, blah blah

Mid 90s got me first interested in skateboarding. I'll probably never watch it again, being that I'm so engrossed in the culture now and I wouldn't want to see it butchered. But I can't believe I'm the only one this film had such an effect on. In that sense, regardless of Jonah's true ties to skateboarding or whether or not he can do a kickflip, he might've got some kids into skateboarding and shown mainstream audiences some semblance of what skateboarding in the 90s was like. I can respect him and the film for that; at the very least.

Mikey Alfred's kind of a kook though.

As someone who's skated for almost 20 years and sucked ass for at least 12 of them, i liked mid 90s

You dorks won’t like any skate movies ever.

Skateboarding is your thing and no one understands it the way you do.

Come to think of it, you should make a movie about skateboarding so people can relate and understand.

Aaron Sorkin should adapt slap into a movie. Entire movie would be a handful of characters in front of their computers arguing over whether or not Zach Allen deserves to be sponsored and also which trucks have the longest wheelbase.

Regardless of his skating, Jonah is an incredible actor. Superbad is a top 10 comedy movie all time

[Tyrone Slothrop]

I saw the trailer and figured it to be all pretty camera movements, lighting and color and not much else.

On a somewhat related note, as a first year film student, I was snapped at by a senior screenwriting major for being close minded because I wouldn’t go see Mid 90’s because I claimed it would do nothing for me or show me anything new.

Well at least you’re self-aware that you’re a close-minded obnoxious freshman film student.   Read and watch everything you can.  You learn just as much, if not more from the failures than you do the successes.   Don’t be the person who turns your nose up at stuff, particularly at your age.  No one likes that guy, no one wants to collaborate with that guy, no one wants to hire that guy. 

Also, try and get a second major or at least a minor in a “real” subject like English literature or history.  Having a wide breadth of knowledge is more vital to your potential career than knowing the rule of thirds or whether you’re crossing the line.
