god, this part annoyed me

(when talking about the change in direction over at AWS)

"Yeah. It used to be like Wenning, Pappalardo?like fresh guys. People who like BMWs?there's Kalis, of course, Dyrdek?there was a slightly hip-hop direction. Then little by little it's become a little bit more about AVE, Dill, then Omar, Dylan. Kinda hesh, artsy."

people still say stuff like that?

I've found him slightly annoying ever since I saw an episode of Skatetalk in which he asked the guys if they thought he or Dylan Reider was more attractive. Also the Morrisey obsession is a little strange, but I won't go there.

I admire the hell outta O'Dell.  Dude is all about skating, endless knowledge.  Sure he's into other fashion type stuff, but his docu/interviewing skills are top notch, and he's been shooting sick photos forever.  Some people think he's a dick but I find he has a great balance of self depreciation and sarcasm. 

In a world full of people who are always serious and on point, his occasional weirdness is refreshing.  He's given enough to skating, he doesn't need to bro down with every skater who recognizes him at the bar.  I think dudes get bad raps for ridiculous reasons sometimes.

Definitely agree there. Hell, he can't be that bad, maybe I'm just looking into it too much.

I can't even read that sentence without laughing.

Someone in another thread was pointing out how low the bar is for being an "artist" in the skate world, & this highlights it perfectly.

What a baseless rumour. We've already confirmed the fact Pat O'dell is a homosexual.

True, whole lotta pseuds in the skate game. O'dell knows his shit when it comes to skateboarding, but a competent film maker he is not. You seen his music videos??

I don't know him, but I'm stoked he gave us "Epicly Later'd" for free.

Post by: habitual line stepper on March 24, 2011, 04:17:04 AM
Me too, they're sick! The raw access to the skaters, and the for the most part their honesty, is refreshing and had largely been missing from the skate world until Epicly laterd came along. But to say O'dell is a skilled interviewer or documentary/film maker is ridiculous.

In the skate scene a lot of artists / film makers / musicians / writers etc. are lauded simply because they are skateboarders, in the wider world they would be regarded as having less than average talents.

Just sayin'...

I don't know where all the Pat O'Dell being gay rumors came from. If anybody ever saw his blog, you'd know he was way into teenage girls to be gay. Practically every tour he went on before was filled with shots of teenage girls in the crowd just looking skeeved. Always seemed weird but the dude is a good interviewer and it must be tough to stay sober with the crowd he runs with.

i'm not sure that anybody claimed he was a good film maker, but i think he's a good interviewer. maybe not in whatever context youre putting him in outside of skateboarding, but he manages to get new stuff or a more interesting outlook on things out of people who have been interviewed multiple times.

vice advertisers brought you epic later'd, and nothing in life is free. try going to a park and talking about any EL episode without someone mentioning their sponsors.

and as for his film making. It's always funny to see someone who kills it in one aspect of film making to get all these opportunities to work outside their skillset and rely on their name to cary the project. be it the hollywood director that directs a sfx commercial or a skate videographer that directs a music video. the work is almost always underwhelming and pedestrian. the best creative director advise I ever got, get in where you fit in.

just read the interview, Odell is alot smatter than i gave him credit for. He should be interviewing Gaddafi.

I like that it gives you the option to skip the ad at the beginning.

Thanks for giving me something to keep me briefly entertained at work, Pat

I know, and doesn't Dylan drive a Lexus? German luxury is the same as Japanese luxury, and hey there is nothing wrong with it, if you can afford it, get it, you only live once.

There's a certain point in life where you know that using FAG or GAY to describe something is abnormal as a man who love beautifoull gwals...i mean,i use it when in speak sometimes but you little homos use it too much i agree with Patrick O'dell it feed homophobics and beign homophobe is played out from todays standars as long as fags dont comes across as being abusive.

I dont even knoe why you little American lost faccottes always say "DIE"...or "KILL YOURSELF" all the time when you hate on someone...you all really sounds like spoiled little suburbs biotches.

I HATE the swagaeur that your under-culture created...like you all better,more heterosexual or some shits because you drink a colt 45 on a picture sitting next to a random bitch that you never kiss then after you little gays always say y'all hate jocks because you homos are hangover when jocks wake ups at 6am to play balls.

fuck yous
