this board remains the only people that still think about this movie
It showed up on Amazon prime as available to buy and watch for me today...lol at how fast it came out...took a hard pass
Pretty standard for an indie release of this size...It's also only available digital for now, DVD later. Also pretty standard move these days but sure, LOL.
it bombed at the box office as far as indie movies go too..lol
It did fine for what it was. It did well in its limited opening and was never expected to be 2500 theater release. I just meant that it is going to be like the Olympics and skateboarding. Everyone in the skating community will/are debating it for years in advance and for years after and the regular person will maybe see it, like it if they do, completely forget about it.
Also, has anyone mentioned on Slap that the Skate Kitchen director and Lesley Arfin from Love (the Netflix show with Dill) are developing an HBO pilot about women skaters?
Just wanted to remind everybody that Jaden Smith is in the movie and defends the movie for representing authentic NYC street skating by going to the bodega and grabbing kombucha. I'm sure that's true to his life but goddamn, it's some rich/privileged/egotistical thing to do and come in believing his personal lifestyle is an accurate representation of skateboarding anywhere.
@ 3:20ish.
Weird where skateboarding as gone. it's more inclusive and friendly, which is allegedly nice, but then with the changing population of the community, the culture is changed along with it. The best aspects of skateboarding are still alive, and there are also more subcultures emerging whether I find they fit my taste or not.
It's like how the definition of the word "literally" has changed to mean the exact opposite of it's original intent, to be used as "figuratively" because everyone is a stupid asshole.
