i'm agnostic but asides kids, every movie w/ skating in it has flat out sucked from paranoid park to grind to gleaming the cube to thrashin'.
jonah should've made the little kid of him fat at least.
is that homage to kids when they 360 flip onto the white dude's big toe?
watch where i'm skatin mon.

This a prequel to Street Dreams?

Stevie's older brother is played by Lucas Hedges who somehow gets in well respected films like manchester by the sea, ladybird, three billboards, moonrise kingdom, and grand budapest hotel. I'll probably see this no matter what but that kid's agent knows a good script when he/she sees one which makes me more excited this.

lolz at the Strobeck pan at the end.

This looks like it may actually be well-made, well-acted, cool and non-corny.
I'm reserving judgment and my hopes aren't high because of all the other "skate" movies that suck dick, but hey who knows?
-
hope its as well done as the person who made the trailer thinks it is. Ill go see it for sure. that said if they don't release a "collectors version" on a dyed (yellow, red, or blue) VHS cassette they are fucking blowing it.

Whether or not he's a skateboarder aside, Jonah Hill is definitely a try-hard kook.

Between this and that skate kitchen movie we are in for a considerable amount of cringe.

I've seen that little kook at stoner. Yo, fuck this shit movie.

Trailer was whatever. The title is wack. Tearz is my shit though.

Movies doesn’t look bad at all, but Jonah Hill isn’t a skateboarder.
By who's standard?
His own- he admits he doesn’t skate. He also seems to be making up or at least exaggerating his skating experience. I swear before this movie came out nobody ever mentioned Jonah Hill, now all these West LA pros keep claiming he used to be at the courthouse and hotrod and all that shit. Its weird to me though that nobody EVER mentioned he skated when movies like Superbad came out, nobody ever listed him as a movie star who skated in any of those “celebrities who skate/skated” threads despite him supposedly being such a regular at such famous spots.
He might have skated, but he did a FANTASTIC job of hiding that fact until it came time to profit from it- and that doesn’t feel right to me AT ALL. At minimum the dude is a culture vulture, and potentially he could be making it all up and using his hollywood clout to get fame-hungry LA pro skaters to go along with it, either way his love of skate culture is highly suspect.
Oh, and the only joke is about a black security guard getting mad about a biracial kid calling him The n-word...written and directed by dude who definitely shouldn’t be making jokes centered around calling black people that word....but its cool, because soon he’ll just claim he used to be black in the 90’s, right Jonah?

He should make a movie about desperately wanting to be a part of something that's more his area of expertise

Semantics. I never went there, just remember their 411 industry section, and heard Alex Olson talk about getting fired from there after one day. Anyway, since you know it so well, do you remember seeing Jonah there? Can anybody on this board claim to have seen him there, or at the courthouse, or any other famous spot he loves to claim? Please, set me straight. Tell me about the rad sessions and how good of a kickflip Jonah had and how he definitely actually definitely really skated.
-
this doesn't look bad at all, considering Hollywood's history with skate movies. Say what you want about Jonah Hill, but this is obviously his passion project and he was definitely skating in LA during that time, so I don't know why we feel the need to judge him so harshly for his interest in the subject matter.
between this and that new Skate Kitchen movie, this summer is going pretty hard on the "Kids" worship though. (Skate Kitchen = Kids with girls; Mid 90's = Kids on the West Coast). I guess it seems about that time with the 20 year nostalgia cycle though

He was there. There were a group of kids that hung out there and watched videos and he was one of them. If memory serves he appeared on a Hot Rod shop board graphic along with a bunch of the other infamous loiterers.

Aside from the 4:3 aspect ratio, I think this looks really good, i definitely don't think it's some culture vulture shit either. To the requests for clips of Hill skating back in the day...How many clips of yourself can you dig up from 97 or 98? I know I couldn't dig up a single one if I had to. While camcorders weren't exactly rare, the means to archive that shit properly totally was. Anyways, I think it looks pretty damn good and will totally be more true to skating and less of cash grab compared to Tony Hawk's old timers battle young punks over the skate park flick that is on its way
-
Why they have Nak in this? Acting? Based off of this trailer, I think it was a mistake to cast him.
In fact, all the Illegal Civ dudes...I know this is Mikey's movie as well, but you can't have homies as the main cast when they have 0 acting experience. Who knows, maybe they're pretty decent.
Nak better be wearing some old ass Adidas since this is a "90's" film.

Go make your own movie. And make it exactly like you want it, and let nothing go wrong, and it'll be perfect and you'll be so happy, and you'll get to watch it all you want, and listen to the songs that you chose and think about how perfect a job you did. Everyone else has failed, but you're going to nail it. Everyone will love you for it. You did a perfect job. Congrats

i hate jonah hill and i hate this movie. i will still watch it at least when it makes it to cable.

this jonah skated for sure.

If this isn’t Jonah Hill, I have no idea why you are so offended that skateboarders are skeptical of another skate movie. Also, I assume this isn’t Jonah Hill...

This response is intriguing (as opposed to the know-nothing kooks who got flustered and jumped to crying about me). Is that board graphic available to check out somewhere? I’m genuinely curious about thay for multiple reasons. Still don’t think skate movies really work, and don’t respect a person who quits h greatest thing ever making it, but I’ll pull back on the conspiracy if that board is found
-
I like Jonah and the trailer was great, I'll be watching this. I don't care if he actually skateboards still but he seems to actually care about skateboarding alot so that's good enough for me. I don't get the "Hi, Thrasher hoodies are cool now so I'll be wearing them thanks"-vibe from him at all...
-
yesterday, i was walking my dogs sporting new balance athletic shoes, and I saw a bunch of clearly nerd teenagers wearing thrasher hoodies, no skateboards, clearly nerds.

Just looked through the closet. I thought I had one. If I do, it's packed pretty deep. The board was made when Cameron Postfaroosh was running the store. I'll try and track one down. But my point being, Jonah was a grom like any other grom. He probably has real nostalgia for it. People around him might be exploiting his feelings for this movie, but his feelings are real I believe. He looked up to Robbie McKinley and Tim Bruns and all those guys.

Practically everyone from Kids had no acting ability and it came out fine. I mean Harold was being Harold but it didn't come off forced. That is why I always though Kids was a documentary of some sorts back in the days.

I've seen that little kook at stoner. Yo, fuck this shit movie.
He’s the little asshole trying too hard to fit in with older kids and only does nose manual 180s right? Either way fuck this , fuck Jonah hill, fuck Mikey whatever his name is and fuck illegal civ and all associates.

this and DC's new style direction are hinting that the 2020s are gonna be a tidal wave of 90s nostalgia. i've been waiting for skating's popularity to fall, but looks like I'll never get insulted for it again :'( hopefully some old skate videos get rereleased though

I'll take a fulfill the dream dvd re-up and tsa swishy pants. Skate shoes will go back to looking like fluffy pillows and weigh more.

they could've at least gotten mid 90's style hair cuts. that 70's doo on the main kid and the penis hat head curly long hair dude are completely out of place. plus it needs more vibing and hip hop slang.
-
I think the illegal civ kids are kooks and they for sure skate, so its pretty easy for me to not take jonah hill very seriously as a skateboarder when i see him rocking only palace most the time, the most popular skate company outside of skateboarding.
That being said i feel pretty neutral about the whole thing, im sure it will be a Kids 2 and thats ok.

Or maybe they gave the black dude (who is a comedian, i forgot his name) the free reign to make jokes about being black and it was funny enough to make the trailer.
Movie looks good in my opinion. The older brother with the super clean room full of fresh nikes and rap albums is extremely mid 90s.

1. I saw him at The Courthouse a lot in the summer and fall of 97. I don't remember ever seeing or hearing about him outside of that period.
2. He was too fat to skate well. He could probably ollie, but not well enough to do it off the stairs or up the ledges. I doubt he could kickflip. I do remember him attempting a perversion of what he called a "frontside crooked grind" that involved him bailing while sort of flicking the board up on the ledge into the position of a reversed smith grind, if that makes sense.
I didn't add up that this person was Jonah Hill until a couple years ago. I want to say that mentally he's a skater even if his body barely allowed it.

Mentally I am in a very physically intimate relationship with Syd from Legion, even though my body, distance, and a probable restraining order do not allow it.

This movie looks like its way more about skating than Kids was. In Kids they just happened to skate. If this sucks it'll probably be because it focused too much on skating.

I don't remember any of those people and I skated all those spots. I doubt anyone would remember me either. I lived near Hot Rod and didn't realize it was a skate shop for a while (most people back then bought their stuff from Daniel Castillo anyway).
Is this movie about modern kids obsessed with the mid-90s or is this supposed to be the actual mid-90s? I do not recall WLA Courthouse being so trashy (then again anything westside seemed clean to me). By the way they're dressed, maybe it should be re-named "Mid to late-90s".

As a kid I loved Gleaming The Cube and like Stevie Williams I thought you could jumpstart cars with a skate key. The Jonah Hill movie could be good. Awful idea: Labor could make a tee shirt of Jonah Hill wearing a Labor tee shirt in front of Labor.

A movie about kids in LA who watched Kids religiously for a week and assumed these roles which did or didn't really exist depending on who you talked to from where. We did it as high schoolers in Santa Barbara to a certain extent for almost the whole summer after it came out. How embarrassing...so glad I didn't have a platform like Youtube to immortalize some stuff i thought was cool.

All you idiots on the first page claiming Jonah wasn't a skater...come on dude had that mini top 5 I remember seeing when it came out, you don't pick those parts if you don't skate. The movie looks ok, but props to him for dropping and probably losing a bunch of money to make something about his childhood past time. I was a fat kid growing up in the mid 90s and I didn't really fit in. I thought skateboarding was cool seeing it Back to the Future and when I finally got a real board in 1994 and started skating it changed my life, it took me 2 years to learn how to kickflip. Now almost 25 years later I can't imagine my life without it. If I had a profession that allowed me to express how much skateboarding meant to me to people inside and outside skateboarding it would really be hard to do, and I don't know if I would do it but I think its rad that he Jonah Hill is. All you dudes talking shit are just jaded haters that reek of jealously and envy of someone who's had success.
Also Gipper you still love to assume shit and virtue signal every chance you get. Let me ask you a question. You ever heard of improv? How do you know the Jonah Hill wrote that line and that the actor didn't add that word in himself, which is very likely. Or how do you know he wasn't quoting from a personal experience with a security guard from his youth? Is he supposed to change alter the quote? You've already been proven wrong once in this post so maybe its time you realize that just because you went to college and are now a school teacher that you know it all.
P.S. Slap wouldn't be the same without you Gip...but I have to give you shit for old times sake ;)

Exactly, A24 have put some of my favorite films in recent years. The VVitch, Killing of a Sacred Dear, It Comes at night, Green room.
Obviously the choice to film in 4:3 was inspired by 90’s skate videos

Moonlight and Three Billboards are masterpieces. I trust A24 100%.

All you idiots on the first page claiming Jonah wasn't a skater...come on dude had that mini top 5 I remember seeing when it came out, you don't pick those parts if you don't skate.
Exactly. Critical thinking y'all, it's not that difficult.
Also, I'm assuming most people talking about how the movie looks like it's going to be shit are casual movie goers who stick to superhero movies, star wars, etc., because if you know anything about A24, the company putting this out, you'd know 90% of their releases are incredible films. Easily the best American production/distro company in film right now.
lol. Jonah's top five are everybody's go-to five. He probably Googled "Best skate videos" for his answer. Not buying this shit get off the kids dick. Or don't, Fred Durst is realer than this kook and thats damn near impossible

lol some of you guys seems to have a lot of rules in life.

hahahahaha yeah you can tell by his answer that it clearly came from a google search. Also its on record he was a lurker at hot rod who watched skate videos and loitered there as well as the courthouse...that sounds like someone who would need to research his answer. Its insane to me that those who are clearly proven wrong continue spew the same bullshit.

Take it easy on the psychotic hahahahaing do you think those are free?

some of you guys are so passionate about Jonah Hill. ease up-- he's just bobby hill's cultured cousin. there is not much else too it. At worst hes an enthusiastic poser with fluctuating weight-- who cares? who isn't? also jonah if you
want cred do a slap pals questions as promo for the movie. ill host that shit in a heartbeat.

It’s funny cuz he’s fat
-
What planet are all the OG's on, that mid-90s skaters would consider a fat kid who can't skate, who shows up a few times one summer a skater and not a poser? This is the mid-90's were talking about right? Not 2018? How is he a "skater from the 90's" and not a poser???

A dude from the south used the Milo playbook and claims others are “virtue signalling” for not going along with lame racist bullshit...who would’ve thunk it? “How dare you say racism is bullshit?” And if I work in education to help reverse the effects of racism as a career, its not really signalling, its just me being morally consistent. I went out to fight nazis this past week, even with a broken hand. Dear, I don’t just say anti-racist things to look good, I live those values. Not all of us were raised with confederate values like “insult a person who calls out racism.” That is southern virtue signaling, it often goes by the term “dog whistle.”
And the crail couch shit was AFTER he started making his movie. Even if the guy did “skate,” (according to others on this thread what he did barely counts) the dude never gave a nod to skating or seemed to care about it until he figured out he could make a movie about it. Then suddenly its always been oh-so-important.

Yeah but Gip you are also pretending that it's impossible that those "racist bullshit" jokes could be Jarrod Carmichael's.
If I made a skate vid with skits about Hollywood tryhards and Jonah Hill was riffing some good jokes about being a fat jew you're damn right they're making the cut. Would that make me a racist black dude?
-
he's was a rich fat kid that hung out at the skate shop/spot...I'm sure he bought tons of gear/vids and bought snacks for the skaters. spike threw him a bone with the crail couch and labor got some pub with non-skaters($$).
-
i can remember a few poseur hanger ons in the late 90s/early 00s. one kid at the shop got dropped on his collarbone and it broke, horseplaying w/ the clerk. that kid has a tiny brand that's prolly 20 yrs old and he hangs out w/ smolik and skates pools.
there was another kid, a suburban wigger rich kid who hung out at the indoor park. he paid which financed other older guys not paying so thank you for that. he told tall tales then and apparently he's still a liar.
so i guess those kids can go either way but if you are rougher on them it's for their own good.

Jonah killed it in Super Bad and lots of other movies, I'm excited to see this when it comes out.
I feel like Nak's going to blow the fuck up in mainstream culture once this drops. There's something special about that guy.

Good to see you are spending your summer break LARPING.

Jonah Hill was a shop grom and employee at Labor skate shop in NY before he became an actor. Hes a suuuuper gnarly skate nerd and is part of why supreme has such a huge demographic by using his platform and connections to get it blown up. He can tell you everything that happened in every video or mag from video days to pretty sweet. SUPER GNARLY skate nerd.
-
This looks really COOL!
-
the biggest surprise to me so far is what a ripper the main little kid is. he did a good job acting like he couldn't skate in the trailer but I searched some clips and he's sick. he's also got a legit acting career going so that was a really fortuitous casting move.
also congrats on ronron for going out to "fight nazis with a broken hand". +1 resistance dude.

He should make a movie about desperately wanting to be a part of something that's more his area of expertise
Being a dude who thinks he's gonna be good at banging chicks = "Superbad"
Being a dude who wants to party like a rock star = "Get Him to the Greek"
Being a dude who wants to make Mr. Skin and smoke weed = "Knocked Up"
Being a dude who is a nerd = "Accepted"
Being not as cool as Brad Pitt = "Moneyball"
Being not as cool as Leo and probably as cool as he is in real life = "Wolf of Wall Street"

I'm disappointed in myself for even responding to this mindlessness. You've actually gotten dumber over the past couple years which I suppose is par for the course of the entire leftist movement. It sickens me that you actually teach children anything considering you're such an ideologue who strays away from any objective thinking and labels anyone who disagrees with you a racist and a nazi. Those are serious charges and you're contributing to the watering down of those terms and in a way even legitimizing the actual tiny percentage of them that do exist.
Secondarily are you claiming that I was raised with confederate values? Dude I grew up just outside of Washington DC in northern Virginia. The neighborhood I grew up in was and still is predominantly black and hispanic. My father grew up even closer to Washington DC and my mom is from the Jersey shore. Hardly confederate values, but again your false assumptions are spouted while attempting to discredit me. I was raised to respect everyone, and the golden rule, and to work toward my desires. Truth be told I was and still am a person of liberal values but when I was growing up even more so into he leftist ideology. I was a full on democrat, I mean who wouldn't be growing up in the Bush era. It wasn't until I was in my mid 20's when I started to actually challenge my views when some of them changed and where I started to lean toward libertarianism, or classical liberalism. I just can't sign onto this hysteria as I don't see a world of nazi's and racists on every corner.
I'm still wondering what in this trailer was the "racist bullshit" you are not going along with. An African American security guard using a term that is widely used and accepted within that community and is not deemed racist whatsoever? Or the fact that a Jewish guy wrote the script you're assuming that he wrote that word into the script to somehow provoke racism and not that he was perhaps documenting a personal experience? Or as I pointed out simply improv by the actor and not written in the script at all? Is any of that possible in your eyes? Is everything and everyone racist? It's just ridiculous, those are serious charges as its a truly disgraceful act to be a real racist so you should really be sure about what you're saying before making those claims.
In my eyes you are being the bigot. Your ideology is completely intolerant of any diverse opinion or thought. Can't you see the hypocrisy you're engaged in? It would seem to me that your ideology is so weak and hollow that in order to make your arguments valid you have a discount the opposing view with a disgraceful term such as racist or nazi in an attempt to delegitimize them even if its unfounded and dishonest. It's kinda like one of your students getting a poor score on a test but saying that some of their classmates got even lower scores in an attempt to make themselves look and feel better. I'm not even sure they even score tests anymore though, it could be mean and hurtful to give someone a low score, oh unless they disagree with you of course.
Oh and you think this dude is trying to cash in on skateboarding? I bet he loses money making this film because it doesn't really look that good and its only going to be relatable to a small percentage of the population.

slap forum aka old dudes that never made it in skateboarding but landed a hard trick ones so they hate on everything that isnt normal or comes from outside showing love to skateboarding because they are SKATEBOARDING. this forum has fallen off BIG time. this movie is going to be cool and fun to watch. i love jonah hill for doing this.
why doesnt skateboarding have a lot of cool movies about the culture when there are so many good movie makers in this forum that will make a movie that has a super fun story and no cringey parts?
-
i'm agnostic but asides kids, every movie w/ skating in it has flat out sucked from paranoid park to grind to gleaming the cube to thrashin'.
jonah should've made the little kid of him fat at least.
is that homage to kids when they 360 flip onto the white dude's big toe?
watch where i'm skatin mon.

rollin thunder is a classic vid and honestly I don't think there's a bad part in there. Berra killed it in that vid as did Frankie Hill.

Oh and you think this dude is trying to cash in on skateboarding? I bet he loses money making this film because it doesn't really look that good and its only going to be relatable to a small percentage of the population.
IF you were to ask me Gipper this guy ^ is acting as your friend.

For the record Jonah did talk about this movie on Howard Stern over a year ago and he seems legit to me. His weight fluctuates at a crazy rate though. Hoping he has a long life but he just looks like a guy who would OD.

Anyone planning to see this at TIFF? Premiere is next Sunday night, followed by a screening on Monday.
On the flip side, saw Skate Kitchen last week. The skating part imo felt pretty real to me but the movie was pretty boring.

The movie looks like garbage, but I really don’t see why it’s so offensive to people, especially these days.

All you idiots on the first page claiming Jonah wasn't a skater...come on dude had that mini top 5 I remember seeing when it came out, you don't pick those parts if you don't skate. The movie looks ok, but props to him for dropping and probably losing a bunch of money to make something about his childhood past time. I was a fat kid growing up in the mid 90s and I didn't really fit in. I thought skateboarding was cool seeing it Back to the Future and when I finally got a real board in 1994 and started skating it changed my life, it took me 2 years to learn how to kickflip. Now almost 25 years later I can't imagine my life without it. If I had a profession that allowed me to express how much skateboarding meant to me to people inside and outside skateboarding it would really be hard to do, and I don't know if I would do it but I think its rad that he Jonah Hill is. All you dudes talking shit are just jaded haters that reek of jealously and envy of someone who's had success.
Also Gipper you still love to assume shit and virtue signal every chance you get. Let me ask you a question. You ever heard of improv? How do you know the Jonah Hill wrote that line and that the actor didn't add that word in himself, which is very likely. Or how do you know he wasn't quoting from a personal experience with a security guard from his youth? Is he supposed to change alter the quote? You've already been proven wrong once in this post so maybe its time you realize that just because you went to college and are now a school teacher that you know it all.
P.S. Slap wouldn't be the same without you Gip...but I have to give you shit for old times sake ;)
And the crail couch shit was AFTER he started making his movie. Even if the guy did “skate,” (according to others on this thread what he did barely counts) the dude never gave a nod to skating or seemed to care about it until he figured out he could make a movie about it. Then suddenly its always been oh-so-important.
I'm disappointed in myself for even responding to this mindlessness. You've actually gotten dumber over the past couple years which I suppose is par for the course of the entire leftist movement. It sickens me that you actually teach children anything considering you're such an ideologue who strays away from any objective thinking and labels anyone who disagrees with you a racist and a nazi. Those are serious charges and you're contributing to the watering down of those terms and in a way even legitimizing the actual tiny percentage of them that do exist.
Secondarily are you claiming that I was raised with confederate values? Dude I grew up just outside of Washington DC in northern Virginia. The neighborhood I grew up in was and still is predominantly black and hispanic. My father grew up even closer to Washington DC and my mom is from the Jersey shore. Hardly confederate values, but again your false assumptions are spouted while attempting to discredit me. I was raised to respect everyone, and the golden rule, and to work toward my desires. Truth be told I was and still am a person of liberal values but when I was growing up even more so into he leftist ideology. I was a full on democrat, I mean who wouldn't be growing up in the Bush era. It wasn't until I was in my mid 20's when I started to actually challenge my views when some of them changed and where I started to lean toward libertarianism, or classical liberalism. I just can't sign onto this hysteria as I don't see a world of nazi's and racists on every corner.
I'm still wondering what in this trailer was the "racist bullshit" you are not going along with. An African American security guard using a term that is widely used and accepted within that community and is not deemed racist whatsoever? Or the fact that a Jewish guy wrote the script you're assuming that he wrote that word into the script to somehow provoke racism and not that he was perhaps documenting a personal experience? Or as I pointed out simply improv by the actor and not written in the script at all? Is any of that possible in your eyes? Is everything and everyone racist? It's just ridiculous, those are serious charges as its a truly disgraceful act to be a real racist so you should really be sure about what you're saying before making those claims.
In my eyes you are being the bigot. Your ideology is completely intolerant of any diverse opinion or thought. Can't you see the hypocrisy you're engaged in? It would seem to me that your ideology is so weak and hollow that in order to make your arguments valid you have a discount the opposing view with a disgraceful term such as racist or nazi in an attempt to delegitimize them even if its unfounded and dishonest. It's kinda like one of your students getting a poor score on a test but saying that some of their classmates got even lower scores in an attempt to make themselves look and feel better. I'm not even sure they even score tests anymore though, it could be mean and hurtful to give someone a low score, oh unless they disagree with you of course.

Everyone who is shitting their pants and frothing at the mouth to cry about how bad this movie looks probably thinks Avengers and Transformers movies are good lmao.
Y'all must have the shittiest taste in film because in no way whatsoever does this trailer look as bad as you dunces are proclaiming. Yeah, it might not turn out to be good, but it's impossible to tell from the trailer.
I know this is a forum composed of skaters and not cinephiles, but the response so far has been simply embarrassing.
as a cinephile myself, I don't have anything negative to say about this movie that most have here. i'm definitely looking forward to see the movie this weekend. personally, i'm sure the film we be just fine.
i think people here are judgmental of this because it's a skateboarding movie made for the mainstream - and also the people behind the movie also are unfavourable to some people here (IC, jonah hill presumably being a culture vulture, etc). people are quick to judge before even watching it. that's what I thought about skate kitchen before I saw it, but it was actually a pretty ok movie.

just got out of the world premiere. it was everyone in the cast first time watching it so the room was full of pandemonium.
wow. movie was crazy good. the acting actually feels genuine 95% of the time (the scene everyone that has been dogging on Nakel is actually really good in context of the scene). the trailer is also a very small snippet of the plot. the third act caught the room by surprise and the audience fell silent for almost all of it. soundtrack was also perfect.
during the q&a jonah mentioned about hanging out at the courthouse and why he thought it would be good to feature it prominently in the film. surprisingly no one asked about ANY FOOTAGE.
as for him being a culture culture/poser for making this; he got everything right and it didn’t feel corny.
i recommend everyone check it out when it drops. i’m watching it again tomorrow afternoon.

nakel killed it. there were a lot of scenes in the movie where it featured him and didn’t blow it. in the q&a he was mad hyped and definitely proud of the hard work he put into it.
for cameos, from what i recall, skateline gary and ishod are in it. even funnier, there’s two actors that are supposed to resemble chico brenes and shamile. i guess itllmake sense why when y’all see the movie.

Variety review:
https://variety.com/2018/film/reviews/mid90s-review-jonah-hill-1202934291/ (https://variety.com/2018/film/reviews/mid90s-review-jonah-hill-1202934291/)
"If Jonah Hill’s name weren’t on “mid90s,” it could pass as one of the coolest films that ever played at Sundance. But the fact that a star like Hill built this movie from the ground up, and did it with so much integrity and flair, lends it an undeniable hipster quotient. The very fact that we know he made it becomes part of the experience. You can hear a distant echo of Hill’s cutthroat wit in some of the film’s existential stoner absurdism — the lines that are funny because they aren’t meant to be. However much it is (or isn’t) based on Hill’s life, “mid90s” feels like a memoir. The soundtrack thrives on its cred, but when Stevie and his friends cruise on their boards down a twilight L.A. boulevard, viewed in telephoto long shot, to the sounds of “Dedicated to the One I Love” or the best Morrissey performance I’d never heard, you can feel a twinge of romanticism. That’s what growing up is all about: knowing that whoever you were hanging out with, they were the shit, because they showed you what was real."

at the second screening's q&a, somebody asked him if he ever skated, and his response was pretty much what we've heard before - he did when he was younger, but because he was overweight he never really was good, but hung around skaters all the time (kinda like the main character of this movie) and hung out at the courthouse. then he brought up the infamous kickflip photo and nakel and sunny (who was present at the q&a with the rest of the cast) confirmed themselves said that they saw him land a kickflip.

I'm sure the movie is fine. I'm calling BS on him actually skating. You want to be a super fan without doing shit then go watch the NFL/NBA. Those stands are filled with people who are huge fans but never put in any work. To make a 90's skate movie and be oblivious to the anti-poser sentiment of the era is hilarious. Hang out at the courthouse and not skate? WTF?
Skateboarding is simple but it does require actually skating. Too fat? skate more. Not any good? skate more.
With the rise in skate parks, skate camps/schools, skate moms/coaches etc. the culture has been diluted and is now just another sport/activity that accepts everyone. The wild west landscape of 90s skate culture is what appealed to outsiders and by letting those outsiders in we are left with the present day state.

What are you, the skateboard police? Whether or not he was "good" at skateboarding, he obviously did it and cares about it enough to have kept it close to him his whole life.

How did you arrive at this? He can make all the movies he wants, I just have a problem when he fakes like he skated. I've seen more footage of justin bieber trying to skate. Even lil wayne is putting in work. This guy just has a rich hollywood dad so he gets a pass. This could all be cleared up with a 20 second iphone clip. Real heads can watch someone take a push and ollie up a curb and know if they can ride. Spike can kickflip.

1. I don't know Jonah's past so I cant say if he's real or not. BUT, being a skater isnt a transferable skill to making a good movie, definitely required for filming and editing a skate video but not for writing and directing a movie.
2. Judging stuff without watching it is what soccer moms and Republicans do. Ripping apart the one guy who actually saw the movie is weird.
3. All the movies that are focused around skateboarding sucks, if its good then it was only a side thing like 'Back to the Future'. At worst Mid 90s will just add to a strong tradition.

Larry Clark is the asymptote of pedophilia
KIDS is more of a movie about underage sex than skateboarding
-
Everything Larry Clark has ever done has been about underage sex. I would say youthful debauchery is the main theme that his work is about. That's not a judgement just an observation.
I watched Thrashin last night because my internet was down and it is still objectively terrible but also super fun. Worst case scenario, Mid-90s will be similar.
-

Who said there needs to be a skater made movie? Skateboarding is too raw and subjective to translate to movies. We can't even agree on what parts/vids are good. I have no problem with him wanting to make a movie but when you are trying to capture an era with the pretense that you lived it is something else. I'm not doubting that he's been into skating or has watched a bunch of videos but that sounds like a fan, not a skater. It's easy to say "who cares" but like many others on here I have put a lot time, money, effort, broken bones(&surgeries) into skating and I take it personally when someone who obviously didn't wants to be the voice.

Actually pondered skate scene infiltrators (who aren't really skaters) today. I ended up deciding that if they successfully do it, you have to respect them and write off the actual skaters that let it happen. (edit;i wasn't thinking about Jonah -more people I've fucked with personally. )

Cliff notes on this thread without the shit talking. Thanks Jenkem!

You guys with your lips death gripping his cock outnumber the others 5 to 1. I'll admit he might have done a kickflip once in his life, though that sequence is suspect at best. He's still a corny try hard and I'll fist fight every single one of you over him not being able to crooked grind.

I want to see Ethan Embry play Jonah skate. Both have stills of them kickflipping. Crooked grind death match, something, cmon!

Think Jonah has ever done a crooked grind?
I already answered this earlier in the thread. He used to bail on lazy grinds at The Courthouse. He said they were frontside crooked grinds.

sounds about right but that at least puts him in the ballpark and playing ball.

I wish Jonah wasn’t trying to hard to be the cool guy he never was on HS and using his fame to hangout with Fat Bill and those dorks and trying to make his own Kids. If he used his talent to do something with the wknd guys that was fun and not some moody 2000s Sundance-bait “artistic statement”.

i always thought it was a little suspect he'd claim Chico Brenes as his favorite skater as someone who got into skating in LA at the turn of the millenium. It's not like FTC vids were floating around. Always reeked of trying to claim some "core" guy as his favorite to give him cred.

i get where you're coming from on this but (and this is not a slight on chico at all) he always had the kind of accessible style of skating that people who knew they'd never get that good could aspire to. even now he's so amazing but he's just doing the kind of flatground stuff that seems learnable.
(edit)
i'm not sticking up for jonah here. just sticking up for skaters that knew they'd never chomp rails and looked up to people that liked his style of skating. it makes sense on that level cause i am fat and not good too.

I remember when I was psyched as a kid when I found a celeb was down with skating.
Now apparently they have to have the right favorite skater, wear the right shirts, wear the right sneakers or hang with the cool dudes. But not the 'too cool dudes'.

He was into skateboarding in 1997. That's Mouse days.

Ya'll niggaz are being wack right now.
1. I don't know Jonah's past so I cant say if he's real or not. BUT, being a skater isnt a transferable skill to making a good movie, definitely required for filming and editing a skate video but not for writing and directing a movie.
2. Judging stuff without watching it is what soccer moms and Republicans do. Ripping apart the one guy who actually saw the movie is weird.
3. All the movies that are focused around skateboarding sucks, if its good then it was only a side thing like 'Back to the Future'. At worst Mid 90s will just add to a strong tradition.
4. All of Spike Jonze's movies are overrated.
Woah woah woah. You nailed everything except for #4, Being John Malkovich and Adaptation are masterpieces.
No intention to knock on Spike's directing but I think these are more masterpieces, in my opinion, due to Charlie Kaufman's writing.

Considering his movie is about a little kid in the mid 90's, it would make perfect sense. Even skaters around the same age were probably watching vhs tapes of skateboarding from the 90's during the early millennium (ie. People probably only owned videos that were made in the 90s and new videos were still filmed during the late 90s).

Well despite the title, the movie isn't even about the 90's, so you went to nail it and you hit yourself in the thumb. Remember that movie Scorcese made about mid 1800's New York? What a poser he was.

I totally agree, but if we are referring to them as Spike Jonze films by moniker, then my statement still stands.
Michel Gondry is the one who struggled outside of Kaufman’s writing. Spike got an Oscar for writing Her and Where the Wild Things Are is/was a perfectly fine adaptation that everyone forgot existed

if anyone cares, the first round of press interviews are out for it after the premiere @ TIFF. Currently I have only read positive reviews, besides on here, with people praising Lucas Hedges and Nakel for their acting.

Can we talk about how good that Sunny kid is at skating? While it’s pretty normal these days to be as good as he is, and most of the footage is park footage, he has a seriously impressive bag of tricks and as good a style as you could possibly have for a 4 foot tall 13 year old.

Don't understand the hate. It's a love letter to skateboarding from a guy who seems to be down for it. Just because he doesn't skate anymore doesn't mean he's not allowed to show appreciation.
I stopped playing basketball while ago (shin splints like a bitch), but I still appreciate it.

I think the hate is stemmed from how hyped this movie is,with a dash of 'Does/did Jonah actually skate?'
Typical shit, for instance I thought the flare was going to be great.

What is this even supposed to mean??? lmao.
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.
Just take one second to examine the mental gymnastics you kooks are partaking in to hate on this movie:
Y'all went from
the trailer looks shitty
to even if it's good it sucks because Jonah is lying about his past
to ok evidence was provided for the fact that Jonah skated and was a regular at Hot Rod and though it is an objective fact that he likes skating and grew up in it he shouldn't be allowed to make this movie because he wasn't a good skater
AND
despite the fact that several well respected pros who are ACTUAL gatekeepers to this culture fully back the film and Jonah as a person I, a no one online, believe I am more of a gatekeeper than those pros
AND
even if every critic likes it that just means they are "supposed to like it" so the movie still sucks.
The cognitive dissonance going on with y'all is...incredible.
This is Slap,opinions, assholes and the Gip.

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

stumbled upon that little kids instagram who’s one of the main characters and he’s fucked up good
That kid fucking sucks. He is SWAG though.

Hey guys, after having spent a few weeks away from this thread, I've had some time to reflect on this topic and I sincerely want to apologize.
It was absolutely insane of me to expect, given the collective IQ of the posters on this forum, that any more than a very slight minority of you would possess the ability to discern well-made films from poorly made films.
From the depths of my heart, I wish I could give back the time spent reading through these infinitely pointless arguments to the poor readers who thought they might stumble across any substantive bit of information in this thread.
Can't wait to see this!

La la land has a dope rotten tomatoes score, does that mean skateboarders should be into it? I'm sure mid 90s is well made, but will actual skateboarders want to see it? Doubtful. This film isn't for us.

Gee, good point there guy. That makes PERFECT sense, considering it stars and was made by "actual" skateboarders. Absolutely flawless logic here!
Incredible.

I always found La La Land to be a weird example of Hollywood whitewashing when half the movie is about how white people ruined Jazz.

Movies doesn’t look bad at all, but Jonah Hill isn’t a skateboarder.
By who's standard?
He might have skated, but he did a FANTASTIC job of hiding that fact until it came time to profit from it- and that doesn’t feel right to me AT ALL. At minimum the dude is a culture vulture, and potentially he could be making it all up and using his hollywood clout to get fame-hungry LA pro skaters to go along with it, either way his love of skate culture is highly suspect.
Oh, and the only joke is about a black security guard getting mad about a biracial kid calling him The n-word...written and directed by dude who definitely shouldn’t be making jokes centered around calling black people that word....but its cool, because soon he’ll just claim he used to be black in the 90’s, right Jonah?
If he's so stoked on skateboarding (enough to make his """directorial debut""" on it) why isn't there any footage of him skating AT ALL from the past two decades?
He's 34. Give me a fucking break. It just seems like a sad attempt at trying to stay relevant after his fat kid schtick has worn thin in Hollywood. What's even more disheartening is seeing your favorite pro's kissing ass for money or connections, or whatever. Ed Templeton's "review" on IG sounded like he had a gun to his head. But I mean, the man has paintings to sell I'm sure.
Anyone with half a brain can see that Jonah Hill has never stepped on a skateboard in his entire life. It's all a big fucking lie using skateboarding as a career maneuver.
(EDIT: Maybe I was a little too harsh on LA. My outrage is mostly directed at Hollywood)

I’m gonna watch this movie cause why not.
But,
I’ve been watching the interviews for this movie and Jonah Hill just seems like a loser, acting really weird saying just cringeworthy shit. I swear he wasn’t this insufferable in the past. Especially the Breakfast Club interview. Seems happy tho so maybe he’s just hyped on himself rn.

saw it last night. it was really good. Lots of nostalgia obviously. lots of spot on accuracy with skating in the driveway solo at night, losing connection with your parents. When the kid first goes into the shop, the kid accept him in the group by kind of hazing him and talking shit to him and belittling him. That kind of stuff was pretty accurate and probably something the non skater would understand and how thats kind of cool. Main kid can portray emotions and feelings with his eyes and expressions without saying much and forces you to fill the void with images of ones own childhood. I started skating in '97 so it was really easy for me to fall for it. But yea, it was done really well. wanted to walk out and critique it badly but had nothing but good things as it sparked every memory of what made me think skating was sick in the first place.
-
looking forward to seeing it, it's probably the closest anyone's got to really representing growing up skating so i can't hate it

this doesn't look bad at all, considering Hollywood's history with skate movies. Say what you want about Jonah Hill, but this is obviously his passion project and he was definitely skating in LA during that time, so I don't know why we feel the need to judge him so harshly for his interest in the subject matter.
between this and that new Skate Kitchen movie, this summer is going pretty hard on the "Kids" worship though. (Skate Kitchen = Kids with girls; Mid 90's = Kids on the West Coast). I guess it seems about that time with the 20 year nostalgia cycle though
Took the words out of my mouth, and then some. I want to believe him in his vision of skating also see the footage at least of Johnna suck attempt skating, also also not bag on this movie because even Kid's, Wassup Rockers, Street Dreams, had bad acting bad dialogue and mediocre skating. Fuck the only worthwhile actual skate videos and 2 Hollywood Thrashin' and Gleaming the Cube were pretty bad in all above sentiments however if you put those cheesey movies next to Animal Chin or The Chocolate tour they were on par with corniness barn none.

I'm looking forward to Mid 90s and have no issues with Jonah Hill, but comparing him to Spike Jonze is absolutely ridiculous. Spike was one of the first great photographers. He almost single-handedly made Video Days , widely regarded as the most influntial video of all time. He is co-owner and founder of Girl and Chocolate. He ollied a double set and slid a handrail in his 30s. Spike is one of the most important figures (especially for a non-pro) in the history of skateboarding.

i felt that it wasn't much about growing up in LA but more so trying to find a way to fit in when you were at a young age. i related to most of stevie's problems (other than the self harm stuff, i wish that was explored a bit more) of being the younger brother and getting picked on by your older brother then finding these group of people that you want to try and impress so you do something crazy to get their respect, and once you fit in you just fall into being influenced by them because they like you and you don't want to lose them.
i agree on the film lacking of any ending. their wasn't any real consequences and it seemed rushed, although the scene where he gets revived was really gnarly and the room fell v silent during.

As if. Jonah didn't try, he would speak of his experience if he gave it the old college try. The value of his viewpoint should absolutely be tied to the effort he put into skating. I suck at skating, but to get where I'm at I've bled and knocked myself out on the pavement.

Isn't IC mostly a clothes company so technically he could be on both?

Someone else's comment that sums up fat boy perfectly.
"Jonah Hill is a rich kid poseur. His dad was the manager of Guns N Roses and he attended a private school where the tuition is 30K a year. He spent his adolescence wearing expensive clothes for husky boys and eating fucking ding dongs."
I'm not sure the clothes he wore or the food he ate but his dad was not the manager for anyone. He's a CPA.

Jonah Feldstein's dad was an accountant for Guns N Roses.

Yes. Thank you for your concern. It was first stated that he was the manager and then a CPA. I was clarifying that his dad was the accountant for the band - not exactly a run of the mill CPA, I doubt he accepts outside clients for tax prep.

I can't wait til' this premieres and the press/media junket is done. I get it,it's a "good movie" but god damn shut up already
-
after listening to some of these interviews, it just seems like performance and he's trying way too hard. im sure he was there for some stuff but it doesn't feel like he actually tried learning how to skate. the movie is probably fine and ok but jonah hill is definitely a poser. he's probably also overstating how much influence he had on the overall direction and dialogue in the movie. just my feeling.
-
Yah the interview I saw sealed the deal. As in Jonah's a fat seal. Jonahs arc. Was never gonna watch it anyway.

i've always kinda liked jonah hill's acting but for some reason his skate fandom kinda bothers me. i keep trying to watch these new interviews with him that keep coming out but i cant fucking listen to him talk longer than 5 minutes. i guess him constantly praising everything skateboarding bores the shit out of me. also the whole "atcq were my beatles" thing makes me wanna vomit.
I was down for this movie, actually wanted to go this past weekend but my GF wouldn't cus she hates Jonah Hill. After watching that I think I'm glad I didn't go. Dude seems fake as fuck.

i don't even know what to think about him anymore. i guess he might have skated, i'm pretty sure that he did and i'm kinda hyped for the movie but when he started talking about how og skate shoes should be in sneaker stores i felt like he was forcing it too much.

Jonah talks about skateboarding the way a 16 year old who just read Please Kill Me talks about punk music.
Even if he actually did skate, and was into "cool" shit, he talks about it as if anyone could possibly give a fuck. Woah dude, you liked ATCQ, and in the 90s?! Incredible.
Spotify put up a "Mid-90s" playlist he curated and it starts with a little intro video of him blabbering on about how fucking cool he is and how he was so into hip-hop and skateboarding growing up. He makes sure to touch on how good Spotify is because it had all the "crazy, B-Side, deep-cut obscure tracks" he wanted to include...the playlist included such rarities as "Wave of Mutilation" by the Pixies, "Tearz" by Wu-Tang and "Kiss From A Rose" by Seal.
I'm still unsure if this is all some sort of Joaquin Phoenix, "I'm Still Here" situation where he's just fucking with everyone.

Saw this movie last night and can't really recommend it. I mean, he got the "skating culture" shit right for the most part but as far as making it an actual enjoyable, entertaining, or even challenging movie... he came up short. The characters were all pretty one dimensional and the story doesn't go anywhere (in a way that seems unintentional). I'm pretty sure he spent most of his time worrying about keeping the "skate culture" shit legit and forgot that he also had to make a good movie.

So, this movie is not doctor recommended?
-
So far I've only heard bits and pieces throughout the day as I've been in the car but he was interviewed on Howard Stern today. I've always had a generally positive view of him but he kinda came across as like a right-wing pundit's caricature of a college liberal. He used the term woke in earnest and it kinda felt like he was trying to lecture Howard into wokedness.
-
Pretty amazing how many shows/podcasts/youtube videos/wherever the fuck else he has been on promoting this. Over saturation.
-
^for real. I kind of like him as an actor and all. But the way he talks about skateboarding is weird. He is trying really really really hard, it looks like he is acting and just learned a script. Same goes for hip hop.
And as someone said before, I don't know why it is a big deal that he was into A tribe called quest in the 90'. Also I find weird, him saying he is happy that after arguing with the cast of his movie, they aknowledged that 90' hip hop shits on current hip hop. Like let them enjoy life man. Don't be an old grumpy asshole. We get it you LOVE hip hop and you want people to know that about you. Yes the 90' were cool, I don't remember much of it.
He talks too much about how it is a period piece and how accurate it is to the 90'. I hope he knows that this does not make a movie any good.
Still want to see it but yes hearing him talk about the movie is not interesting and he is everywhere. He really wants to be accepted in the skate/hip hop world. Just relax man.

I watched some of the power 106 interview with him and Nakel...I'm wondering if his fellow actors from past work are gonna get upset at Jonah saying Nakel is the best actor he's ever worked with.
I agree with the post above, crazy oversaturation. I think Jonah will name his first kid mid-90s.

A Star Is Born is pretty god damn great too. Was surprised how much it stayed with me.
Mid90s is just such a fucking meh title. Just seems like its creeping a little hard in the buzzfeed/'member berries direction. Why wasn't Jonah Hill ever in a Crail skit in their heyday of celeb cameos?

Jonah talking that jive and what's up with him and that kid? Pretty weird. He comes off like a shoe guy poser who saw some skate videos on at the shop. I knew a few of those types and none of them ever skated seriously. Just consider his previous body type and it should be obvious this dude wasn't pushing anywhere. STUNTING!!!

Honestly the more interviews I am seeing from Jonah the more I am thinking he is trying to remake KIDS (w/o the rape)
-
Caught Jonah on Seth Meyers last night and he came across as a dude that is a skate nerd and he spoke about it like a normal guy and was really genuinely stoked on skate culture and that specific time in his life and I thought to myself “Can he do a kickflip?” The answer is I really don’t give a shit.
Did he actually skate back then? Most likely he did and he wasn’t very good at it, as he has stated many times.
Every crew has one of these guys growing up, super into it and just not very athletic or coordinated and ends up being the filmer or just quitting.
I’m usually a jaded bitter old prick and very defensive and protective of skateboarding in general against outside kookery but I think I’m gonna let this guy slide on this whole thing.
Like if he was super into basketball and made a hoop movie would people be all “fuck this dude he’s a poser he can’t fucking dunk, he can’t do a proper crossover dribble...” etc. etc. etc.?
He’s obviously a huge skate and hip hop nerd and a little too into the movie Kids, which this appears to be a modern day take on.
Also I was really into his performance in Wolf of Wall Street, he killed in that.

I’m getting so fucking sick and tired of people talking about this, this hands down has to be the most boring thread that’s gone 15 pages. Everyone has that one guy in the crew growing up. Shit I had multiple crews growing up, some with world class skateboarders, but my actually legit friend crew I skated with, yeah we had one of those guys. Kid was on a board every single day, and never gave a fuck about being good because he just loved the actual act of skateboarding and rolling around. I actually admire that in a strange way, like you know u can’t do anything, yet you still go out every single day with the crew. Like have y’all looked at Jonah in Superbad? I mean not every big boy is Jamie foy.

That really hit the nail on the head of what’s been bugging me about it. He’s trying to make a coming of age movie about what life would have been like if he was the person he wanted to be at that age. There’s no humility or honesty or specificity to it like in a Lady Bird or a 8th Grade and so on. I think this project would have been soo much more interesting if it was about the little fat/dorky kid who wanted a way out of their life and access into a culture they love but maybe don’t really have the talent for.
-
Jonah was just on NFL halftime and they fucked with him and said they had a board there to see how he skates, kinda funny. He has been everywhere promoting this and has used the same lines in every interview.
-
Just saw the movie, I enjoyed it. It's not perfect but it did a good job at capturing the 90s. Don't really see why anybody would have issues with how skateboarding was represented in it.
(Spoilers)
I know Jonah didn't want to make it "skate porn" or whatever but it really seemed like that video they showed at the end would have been a good opportunity to include some more actual skate clips. That whole video thing was underwhelming, it just felt a bit rushed and incomplete.
-
Oh my god you guys someone makes a decent movie about skateboarding and you guys are picking it the fuck apart ... Holy fucking shit. I love slap.

Saw it.....definitely not Deer Hunter but I still enjoyed it for sure.
The one thing that stood out was how Nakel could hold his own acting.....I hated all the IC stuff but it's grown on me, a lot of its based on mikey Alford not being 40.
Honestly if spike made the movie people would be bitching that it felt like a girl video....

Just saw the movie with some coworkers. Jonah Hill got the hard part right of capturing the look and feel of the 90s without going full blown nostalgia porn.
I cant 100% vouch for the accuracy of the skate culture portrayal as I started skating in 99-00. By then skating blew the fuck up and moms were hauling mini vans full of kids to the indoor skatepark. The cast does remind me of the type of older dudes who were pissed that 6th grade me were snaking them.
But the movie suffers structurally, first and third acts are rushed. While the acting is pretty good (especially from Nak) the character arcs are non-existent outside of the main character.
Yea its a 3/5 for me. Mid 90s is to skate movies what Mortal Kombat is to videogame movies - proves it can be done well...despite not doing it well itself...if that makes any sense.
-
I agree with Lenny.
Saw this flick this afternoon. I liked it, but didn't think it was "good." The acting was decent (especially the older brother and mom, both "real" actors) and Nakel really surprised me too. Most of the skating parts felt like they were also done "right."
But the entire thing felt really flat. Disjointed and rushed. A lot of good scenes, but overall it seemed like very little happened and the whole thing seemed pretty pointless.
Sort of the opposite of what I thought it was going to be like. Thought the movie bits would be better and the skating bits would be lackluster, but the opposite seemed true to me.
Wished the movie was focused on the older brother or Ruben more - very little happened with those characters but they were still far more interesting than Stevie.
-
As a skeptical as fuck person who skated then and skates now, my hats off to Jonah for taking on an impossible subject.
Haven't even seen the movie yet, but trying to please this skeptical, fickle, hater-leaning, pretty much anti-capitalist audience is a chore that those of us who work outside of skating can only appreciate from afar.
If you haven't seen the film, you shouldn't be commenting negatively in this thread, imo.
I might weigh back in once I see it, but nothing but respect after watching a few of the appearances, even if his knowledge is only 6 years deep.
If you are under 25 and skateboarding is still 75% of your life, I get your skepticism, but go watch the last 12-15 minutes of his appearance on The Breakfast Club and tell me he isn't a good dude, and someone you wouldn't want to have on your team.

Sort of the opposite of what I thought it was going to be like. Thought the movie bits would be better and the skating bits would be lackluster, but the opposite seemed true to me.
Wished the movie was focused on the older brother or Ruben more - very little happened with those characters but they were still far more interesting than Stevie.
Haven't seen it yet, but I've seen every other skateboarding move in existence. Would you rather end the movie with a downhill race and/or a joust?
From the title of the movie, I get that this was supposed to be a glimpse in time.

As a skeptical as fuck person who skated then and skates now, my hats off to Jonah for taking on an impossible subject.
Haven't even seen the movie yet, but trying to please this skeptical, fickle, hater-leaning, pretty much anti-capitalist audience is a chore that those of us who work outside of skating can only appreciate from afar.
If you haven't seen the film, you shouldn't be commenting negatively in this thread, imo.
I might weigh back in once I see it, but nothing but respect after watching a few of the appearances, even if his knowledge is only 6 years deep.
If you are under 25 and skateboarding is still 75% of your life, I get your skepticism, but go watch the last 12-15 minutes of his appearance on The Breakfast Club and tell me he isn't a good dude, and someone you wouldn't want to have on your team.
Ok thanks for your input jonah

"my hats off to Jonah for taking on an impossible subject. "
Impossible? Seems pretty damn simple compared to most films attempting to portray an "art form".
Depicting the time frame as apposed to commenting on it originally.
"I Haven't even seen the movie yet"
"If you haven't seen the film, you shouldn't be commenting negatively in this thread, imo."
Don't comment negatively, but I will make claims about the film, at the exact same time I contradict myself and tell myself I'm an idiot.
"I might weigh back in once I see it"'
The mind boggles. It really boggles.

Did anybody cop up on the fingerboard set from early screenings? They're doing wonders on eBay now.

I said you shouldn’t be commenting negatively on something you haven’t seen or experienced, so I didn’t. There is no contradiction there. But sweet reading comprehension, hate on.

Honestly, the main reason I am turned off by the movie (having only seen the trailer) is that I was born in the mid 80's. I was a little kid in the mid 90's. I had an older brother who loved skating and hip hop, so you know I was stealing his shit.
I do not feel nostalgic for this. It makes me feel incredibly old.
When I was growing up, many coming of age films/shows were set in a "classic" time: Dazed and Confused (70s), That 70's show, etc.
I wasn't ready to be a classic, Jonah.

No I don't, but it's not really a skateboarding movie, so I feel like the options for the ending are more wide open. It felt like it wasn't ever moving towards anything and none of the main characters showed any growth or development. I enjoyed it, and the skateboarding bits were good, but it didn't do much for me. Also seemed short...I think less than 90 minutes. Interested to hear what you think when you see it.
-
The movie that gave KIDS aid's.
-
Saw it.....definitely not Deer Hunter but I still enjoyed it for sure.
The one thing that stood out was how Nakel could hold his own acting.....I hated all the IC stuff but it's grown on me, a lot of its based on mikey Alford not being 40.
Honestly if spike made the movie people would be bitching that it felt like a girl video....
How would you say it portraied 90s skate culture? Was it made with a delicate touch or was it Jonah trying to squeeze in everything 90s to seem legit?

Things aren’t cropped if they are in 4:3. That’s the Aspect ratio they shot with. Cropped implies someone cut something out and it’s really weird to hear someone complain about that

To be fair they do crop it in this case. The native aspect ratio for super 16 is 1.66:1. But they crop it with the 4:3 frame in mind while shooting so nothing is left out that isnt intended. I know you prob meant that but my OCD made me explain this.
-
Just saw it. Definitely the least corny movie about skateboarding ever made (I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not since I love Grind). Having grown up in that same era, everything was surprisingly authentic. Na Kel did a great job. There was a more terrifying jump scare in this than in the new Halloween or The Nun. I honestly didn't see people partying that hard when I was that age though. Overall, good push, nice flick.

I'm just curious if they were skating 7.5 - 7.75 decks?

so is this going to be on pornhub or what
I think this time will be on xhamster
-
I'm just curious if they were skating 7.5 - 7.75 decks?
Yeah the decks were those sizes. I'd say its one of the best depictions of a different era Ive seen on film. Which makes the movie's flaws more annoying.
-
Not sure if this has been posted yet, but the use of 4:3 is discussed in here, amongst other things:
https://filmschoolrejects.com/jonah-hill-and-the-cast-of-mid90s/
Honestly overall it looks corny and pandering to me, but maybe I'll change my mind once I actually see it.
-
I listened to way too much Jonah Hill and you wish he just did Fresh Air but I get it...he's pumping the shit out of this and yes....it's annoying.
He said he was originally going to splice in footage of the guy who's always filming in the movie. It didn't work out or it tested poorly so they left it as it is....he did touch on too though how it's consistent w. skating at the time.
The one flaw I saw was the guys skate too modern....people kickflip differently now...super super picky thing....
-
Watched a couple of interviews, we get it you like 90s hip hop and skating. I guess if a lot of people had his resources this is the cringey shit they'd do, you're not special for liking the 90s. I feel like he's he hung around boring hollywood people for a while and then this is his 'I have a personality' piece, just watch mouse and go to bed.
-

If I'm not mistaken, I also saw a slappy crook on the ledge at courthouse which seems too modern. Also don't know if people did this in the 90s too but I noticed when Nakel was setting up Sunnys board he poked holes in the grip first before cutting the edges wtf

All you idiots on the first page claiming Jonah wasn't a skater...come on dude had that mini top 5 I remember seeing when it came out, you don't pick those parts if you don't skate.
Exactly. Critical thinking y'all, it's not that difficult.
Also, I'm assuming most people talking about how the movie looks like it's going to be shit are casual movie goers who stick to superhero movies, star wars, etc., because if you know anything about A24, the company putting this out, you'd know 90% of their releases are incredible films. Easily the best American production/distro company in film right now.
lol. Jonah's top five are everybody's go-to five. He probably Googled "Best skate videos" for his answer. Not buying this shit get off the kids dick. Or don't, Fred Durst is realer than this kook and thats damn near impossible
Watched a couple of interviews with Jonah promoing the movie and it looked to me like he's trying way too hard to be down. he's an a director/actor and definitely intelligent so he knows to do his research. In all the interviews he's talking about how hip hop and skateboarding have been appropriated and presented in the worst ways in mainstream movies and he's here to make a movie for "the people". hollywood is wierd man.

Bodega boys was dope in the beginning but around the time they got big on Viceland it just kind of got stale, Mero gets waaaay to high rambles and does too many impersonations. Desus I feel isn't syncing well with Mero at times in their most recent podcasts. Funny thing is last year I recommended to Dj ATrak he go to the viceland show to promote fools gold NY and actually replied to the tweet and did it that night, supposedly the counter culture loves them and was obvious place for Jonah to talk his movie about 90s counter culture

They no longer do the "live from Redbull studios" drop and have claimed to end business with el RojoToro as of 2 episodes ago (Leche). They cut ties with everyone who fed them and now they gotta do James Corden's Celebrity dicksuck-assrub dance to survive. Sad.
I am re-listening to the Bodega Boys from episode 1 [currently at episode 31] and it's so much more creative and content filled compared to 132.

I am kinda excited to watch this movie, but there are some flaws, like, no one that were a true skateboarder had hair like that blonde long curly hair dude, unless you were a surfer.
than, on a more specific note, I noticed that the guy that wears the Accels dont use the original Accels, because the original Accels didnt had that little thing on the first row of laces, that only appeared years after and it was not the 90s anymore.

I saw it last night and it was really good. It felt like watching a documentary of a group of friends and less like a movie. Odds are that if you grew up skating in the 90's, either you or your friends can relate to each character in the movie.
It reminded me of Boyz n the Hood in terms of documenting what it was liking growing up in a particular time within a particular culture.

Or Daewon... But they didn't look like a female. I know there is nothing wrong that, with how the kid looks or his style, but in the 80's and 90's when fag and gay were thrown around so loosely that kid woulda got it bad. I seriously thought homie was a girl the first few times I saw him in videos. Again, nothing wrong with that but 90's kids were pretty fuckin mean. Like Hansen all over again. You're welcome for the link g

I feel like we didn't need this movie for at least another 10 years. Also,probably could've had another hour to develop/finish the story...unless Jonah is going to make a sequel "Early 2000's". Mild tastes of nostalgia were sprinkled about,but I couldn't really get into the movie since it felt so random/chopped up.

Just scanned through it for a sec to have a look - stopped on a scene at the courthouse where IC kid and Nak are talking to some guy on the ledges - hard to tell from the bootleg, but it kinda sounded and looked like Del Tha Funkee Homosapien.
Edit: It's him.
-
went and saw the shit on Halloween. Movie was kinda weak. Del cameo was hella. As much as I love the band ESG, wasn't nobody bumping them at shop demos or anywhere else in the 90s Jonah. Too much platitude not enough attitude with the characters. Wish i had that red Menace coach jacket though. Peace.

I've never watched a legit bootleg like that before, Mid 90's was the perfect movie to be my first.
I actually liked it. Definitely understand the complaints about it. The scene with the brother crying and the self-choke using a SNES controller was so awkward.

I’m pretty sure Joey Suriel and Guy Mariano weren’t worried about being vibed for having long curls while skating at The Courhouse in the 90s.
Or Daewon... But they didn't look like a female. I know there is nothing wrong that, with how the kid looks or his style, but in the 80's and 90's when fag and gay were thrown around so loosely that kid woulda got it bad. I seriously thought homie was a girl the first few times I saw him in videos. Again, nothing wrong with that but 90's kids were pretty fuckin mean. Like Hansen all over again. You're welcome for the link g
Ok, I'm defending it because I sported some Hansen locks back then, Courthouse included. I received minimal shit for it. Skaters were generally accepting of others with a decent enough skill level. Tight pants probably would've been a hard sell, but long hair was okay.

I specifically remember a 90s transworld letter asking if Ed Templeton was gay because he wore tight pants,and if wearing tight pants was gay. So yea... apparently only saying thank you is

i didnt like this at all. it felt like an after school special or some shit like that. so much of it just didnt resonate with me but maybe its because i didnt start skating as a little kid and grew up on the east coast.

What the fuck is going on in that theater tho?

Was really excited to see this as the film isn't coming to Australia (that I'm aware of)
Sunny, Lucas Hedges, Olan (while definitely annoying) and Nak were all pretty great.
The main issues I had were:
1) Dialogue - "Don't say thank you, it's gay"
Even though I grew up during the mid 2000s, I have a really hard time imaging someone saying something like that.
2) That girl looked about sixteen, she would not try to hook up with someone who is around 13 at a party?
3) Continuity error with Hedges' necklace in hospital scene
4) Skaters do NOT fuck with skaters who are at that different of a skill level
Y'all really think someone who is getting on Chocolate flow is going to hang around with some kid learning to ollie? Fuck outta here
5) I agree with the comments on Fuckshit's hair, but Piscopo's combed back style wouldn't have flown either
Regardless, the scene with Stevie entering the shop for the first time, and the scene shortly after where he filled up the crew's jug really resonated with me.
6/10 - extra points for including watermelon man
-
2) That girl looked about sixteen, she would not try to hook up with someone who is around 13 at a party?
Portrayal of skating aside, the movie as a whole felt really hollow and empty - no plot, no character development, no reason to really care what happened to any of these people - but this scene in particular definitely bugged me. It felt so forced and unbelievable, but I guess that applies to a fair number of aspects of the movie.

The scene after, that split the girls and boys talking about what had happened in the room, was about as close as this movie got to any sort of KIDS correlation. I laughed when Stevie walked away with that girl in slo-mo as Nirvana's cover of "Where did you sleep last night?" played.

Went last night with my girlfriend.
It was weird walking into a theatre and fully expecting to see skaters from my town there, like I was walking into a local skate premiere. Sure enough when I was leaving I saw some kid I recognized walking out with his mom. He ironically has a weird nickname we gave him when he was younger.
I cannot ever imagine seeing this with a parent, it would be so uncomfortable. I suppose it depends on how you were raised, but if I went with my dad who never fully excepted or understood me skating, it would suck. We actually sat next to an older couple without kids. Right after the party hookup scene they got up and left the theatre, the lady whispered to us awkwardly, "We can't take this anymore."
The aspect ratio didn't bug me at all, I got used to it after a few minutes. I guess it's cool the whole thing was shot on film, but it wouldn't have made a difference to me if it was shot 16:9 in HD.
A few scenes seemed super drawn out, the intro seemed drawn out. The cops kicking everyone out of courthouse seemed exaggerated.
Nak killed it with the acting, it was cool seeing Donovan in there and Harmony's cameo. I think I recognized the "pro filmer" that walks up and daps up the two pros as Cody Green that films with FA, Vans, etc?
The no character building really bugged me. They pegged the older brother as having issues but never really revealed more into that or anything, kinda just left you guessing. Also when Stevie steals the $80 and takes that hair brush to his leg? I still have no idea what that was about.
Being a vintage nerd, loved seeing all the old clothing and boards. Thought it was cool they even kept the shop boards shape specific to the time period. You can see how awkward and flat the shape of the shop decks were when he's gripping Stevie's free board.
The overuse of the cussing kinda killed me, maybe it's specific to certain crews of that time period, but it really felt like they laid it on too thick. I'm not even overly PC but hearing it non-stop just felt uncomfortable.
Ending sucked, I hated it. Least favorite part of the movie. I think the ending should have been after Nak gave Stevie the pep up talk and they skated off into the distance. The fight scene and drunk driving scene was just so extra and seemed forced to me. Almost felt like they couldn't come up with an ending or ran out of budget.
The cameos and seeing old gear was the highlight for me. Whole movie gets a 5/10.

That entire scene felt like he was trying recreate KIDS, in my opinion. Also thought the use of Watermelon Man was mad corny, but I might be in the minority with that one.

Other than people supporting the movie because it has to do with skateboarding, which makes perfect sense, I don't get the hype from everyone this is the best movie ever. Superbad is waaaaaay better than Mid-90's, same with Wolf of Wall Street. Jonah could have used those scripts to inspire him to write a really amazing movie.
I skimmed through the bootleg version, twice, and shit was unbearable. There was nothing 90's about it at all. The party scene with Watermelon man was super corny and I quickly skipped through the rest of it, to not watch teenage soft porn. Ending was really lame too.
Jonah could have easily written a much better movie. There's something fishy about the whole thing. Recruiting actors from Stoner Park, low budget, not much mainstream advertising, short movie, shitty script...but huge online promotion and talk show interviews in certain niche communities.
I really think "mid 90's" is an example of a celebrity who has enough money to make a "core" skate video through Hollywood, because he couldn't do it when he was younger and it's his dream. Thats why he hooked up with the IC crew because who else is he going to work with?

Well I know for sure dudes in the skateshop would not have been soo chill...I grew up in the Bay Area, and most the shops from around san jose to fremont had crews who'd hang out and would just be talking non-stop shit and would not someone just roll up randomly on a session. people at spots claiming shit and not letting people skate...I dunno certain elements of it had its appeal but nothing id say is personally movie worthy

saw the movie last night and I somewhat regret not just seeing the new Suspiria remake instead. The dialogue between the skaters made me cringe the whole time. Pretty sure Jonah made us sit through a rape scene. The characters had no depth, the scene with nak explaing everyones home life just seemed so fake, theres no explanation as to why the brothers an asshole besides the fact "mom was different before you were born". the scene with the hairbrush and stevie choking himself with a wire were never explained. and the ending... oh brother what was that!?
Pretty sure Mikey Alfred gases all these kids up to think they are some big time actors when that couldnt be further from the truth. Who in Hollywood is giving them these co-signs? first HBO and now a WHOLE ASS MOVIE?!
but i will say the movie did hit all the feels of first getting introduced to skating and everything that came with it so ill give it that

The only things I can think of as to why Stevie scraped himself with the hairbursh is he wanted it to look like he ate shit skating? If that was the case they would have showed him talking about it with his friends though? Maybe it was like punishing himself for stealing? Weird either way.

It will just be about two white boys sitting in a room in their suburban town. One kid is in a Plan B tshirt playing Skate on an xbox 360 that's about to red ring. The other guy is glued to myspace while wearing a kr3w hoodie, he hates his dad because he says sound engineering is a dumb major to take in community college. The black guy voice of reason character that will appear in a few scenes explains that his life goal is to afford a trip to Barcelona by buying and reselling Nike Dunks and Bathing Ape on Ebay. They all lazily play games of s.k.a.t.e. sometimes and drink red bull and vodka. They are 3 or 4 years away from Mindfield so they don't realize that they can be gnarly skaters without moving to California. Oh and Bag of Suck is on constant repeat in their circles, no one's a vegan yet, and the black dude gets mad when people say WWE is better than TNA.

I was wondering the same...it has to be at least 1995/96 because of the chocolate shirt and the anti hero sticker on the skate shop door. If I remember right, in the beginning shop scene they are watching video days? Of course a classic but I just remember being hyped on shit like 20 shot and 411s at that time.
-
If I had to guess, the crew watching Video Days is a nod to Kids.
Also things weren't as zeitgeist-y until the internet was everywhere, so what was popular lingered for a while. For example, I didn't completely ditch ninja turtles when power rangers came out. I was also playing NES just as much as I was Genesis up until the N64 came out. Shit overlapped a bit more.
-
After finally watching it, I'd give it a 2/10 at best. Jonah wrote a terribly strung together fanfiction that loosely follows what he thinks it'd be like to be able to kickflip in 1996.
Nak was the saving grace that got me through that wasted hour and a bit of my life, he's got potential to go far in acting if he wants to.

If I had to guess, the crew watching Video Days is a nod to Kids.
Also things weren't as zeitgeist-y until the internet was everywhere, so what was popular lingered for a while. For example, I didn't completely ditch ninja turtles when power rangers came out. I was also playing NES just as much as I was Genesis up until the N64 came out. Shit overlapped a bit more.
don't know how old you are but you're dead wrong. Things were even more Zeitgeisty back then considering culture was taken from Television and Radio where the people have no control of what media they're consuming so everyone was into something at the exact same time as everyone else unlike the internet where the user has control of when and what they listen to or watch. Once a trend was over pre-internet everyone was over it and onto the next thing.
You were just playing with NES because parents were mad back then because they just bought their kids a console and a couple years later a new one comes out some parents flat out refused to upgrade thinking it was a big scam which is why you still had NES games being made in the mid-90s even though 98 percent of children had moved onto newer consoles.
Ninja Turtle cartoons were still being made until 96 even though the TMNT craze peaked in 1990 and quickly declined after that but like I said new episodes were being made during the whole power rangers craze but it was red sky TMNT which was different from the late 80s-early 90s TMNT cartoon even though it was technically the same show it was extremely different. it didn't even have shredder!
ps: the Genesis came out in 89 it isn't much older than the NES

Everyone knows he does not skate, the question was did he ever skate and from these interviews it is clear he did not.
Sure, he was into skate culture, and his Hollywood mom basically used the shop as daycare after school and at times he was so annoying the shop employees had enough and told him to get the hell out which sounds just about right.

Imagine how gayly awesome mid 00s would be.
It will just be about two white boys sitting in a room in their suburban town. One kid is in a Plan B tshirt playing Skate on an xbox 360 that's about to red ring. The other guy is glued to myspace while wearing a kr3w hoodie, he hates his dad because he says sound engineering is a dumb major to take in community college. The black guy voice of reason character that will appear in a few scenes explains that his life goal is to afford a trip to Barcelona by buying and reselling Nike Dunks and Bathing Ape on Ebay. They all lazily play games of s.k.a.t.e. sometimes and drink red bull and vodka. They are 3 or 4 years away from Mindfield so they don't realize that they can be gnarly skaters without moving to California. Oh and Bag of Suck is on constant repeat in their circles, no one's a vegan yet, and the black dude gets mad when people say WWE is better than TNA.

Saw it this weekend, kind of "meh" but I'm glad I saw it. Does a better testament to what skateboarding is than most skate movies.
My biggest micro-complaint was that one of the few tricks they showed during the courthouse scene was a slappy-crook. Wasn't that kind of a whack trick to do at the time?
All of my other complaints have already been discussed. Nak did a surprisingly good job acting.

Enought to justify making them the main character of a movie.

Well it looks like Jonah is of skating now that the film is available to buy. No more interviews of his love for hip hop and skateboarding.
But really though Nakel shined and felt underused. No one else in the film held up against him.

It's not like this was a rendition of Les Miserables
Aren't they all just playing skateboarders? Such phenomenal depth
-
Les Miserables? Yeah because Wolverine singing is so serious. Any film with a cast of kids is usually more difficult to pull off than say a cast of adults. The chemistry has to be right.
Mid90s tried to create a homie vibe within the group but it felt uneven through out the entire film. I had no issue with the skateboarding side of the movie but the acting and scenes felt very amateur.
I rather watch The Goonies or Stand by Me.
-
Id watch it but i dont want to be not able to un see it if it sucks. Movies suck most of the time and Jonah hill is a chuckle bag.

Watched it last night. The older brother and his orange juice were a nice touch, he's the only character I was emotionally invested in. The sound track was good, can't go wrong with Big L. Nostalgia wise I enjoyed it, and also discovered that blonde black kid is a guy, this whole time I thought it was a new girl skater who I never really paid attention to in the insta vids. Nice!

You may not have liked the movie,but you sure are sucking it's dick pretty hard. I don't even think it's going international,so that 7 mil is all Jonah gets to claim on the streets when he runs into a skater. What it is.
-
Wow this movie was absolute garbage. Jonah really missed the mark here. It could've been good if there was less skateboarding and more character development and an actual plot. The Courthouse "5-0" scene was unrealistic and beyond cringeworthy. The child rape scene was uncomfortable as hell. Glad I didn't have to pay for it and thankfully it was only 80 minutes long. Jonah Hill is a poser confirmed.
The Courthouse was like that though.

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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqZwMfQc5lk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqZwMfQc5lk) @ 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.

But whatever let’s talk 7mill ...that’s what the box office made...the box offices get their cut, Jonah had to pay the cast, then had a ton of marketing press before so ...I’d say he actually brought in a lot less than 7mill. Shit numbers for a shit movie

it's going to be getting a limited released in the uk, russia and france in spring 2019 but i highly doubt it will be more than 1-2 million added to it's overall earnings. If i were to guess i'd say it mightve already squeaked by with a tiny profit.

I watched it. It wasn't great, but it wasn't unwatchable. Just a lot of pretty lame, cringy scenes. 1 and a half stars. Also the main kid can skate but didn't do shit in the movie.

That's 7 mil domestic, not worldwide.
Also, keep in mind just how "indie" this film was compared to the top earning "indies" this year.
A miniscule budget doing 7 mil at the box office isn't necessarily bombing.
Consider the fact that this film had NO star power going for it, while Beautiful Boy, starring two of the biggest names in Hollywood, only hit 9 mil.
Context is important when making these statements people, try harder next time.
And for the record, I didn't love this movie. It was certainly the best skateboard-oriented film I've seen, but overall it was just OK as a film.

Everything feels super forced and "edgy." It is like, "Look, I know about skateboarding and my film is soooooo independent. OMG wasn't Juno was such a good movie?"
However, it is a million times better than Street Dreams but not nearly as good as Gleaming the Cube.
Edit:
Why the fuck would a high school girl be making out with this little kid?
Why the fuck is the shop sponsored kid who is in high school hanging out with this little kid who doesn't know how to ollie?
Why the fuck are all of the kids (other than Nakel) stoked as hell on going nowhere. We couldn't make more stereotypical skaters?

Im sure their SAG minimums are covered in the $1.7M budget. And no, that’s not a real good ROI for actual film financiers (but it would be if he crowd funded). Consider the budget is an optimistic number, plus tack on 50% of the budget cost to go towards Prints (what you send to each theater to play the movie) and advertising. Then comes the “waterfall” which is essentially the hierarchy of who gets paid back/earns money at what time. This was essentially a test/favor for Jonah to give him experience. It didn’t lose money which is nice, but he wouldn’t go to director jail if it broke even or underperformed. A24 is a talented distributor and could probably pre-sell the movie internationally and through VOD services to recoup that very small amount of money even with the lack of star power. I’d guess this was a quid pro quo (who knows what he had to do) like when Universal did the last movie Angelina Jolie directed, knowing it was no good, because she was going to be their Bride of Frankenstein (before the whole Dark Universe CU collapsed). Anyways sorry

Should we jump into his DM's?
Call out Mikey Alfred repeatedly until Jonah the Whale Kick flips?
or
Get back to very boring office work that I'm putting off because I detest my current existence?????

Nope,you're not missing much.

Not too bad for a student film.

It's not perfect, but as far as non-documentary skate movies I've seen, it's second only to Kids. What else beats it? I'm genuinely curious. Maybe I need to rewatch Thrashin' and Gleaming the Cube to be sure. I haven't seen Ken Park.

You got peak Bam Margera acting his ass off (joke), Chad Fernandez acting like a 2000's white suburban rap dude, Matt Ball was a stunt double for one of the main characters and a solid 2000's soundtrack featuring Simple Plan, The Donnas, Sublime, Sean Paul, Trapt, The Used, Less Than Jake and last but certainly not least P.O.D

1. Thrashin'
- covers skateboarding pretty fucking proper
2. Gleaming the Cube
- I mean that diamond plate for grip at the end on an all black set up?! Cmon!? Tony Hawk works for Pizza Hut in this, which would have been a reality if he didn't have integrity.
3. KIDS
-ultimate 90s look into the culture
4. Grind
- Perfect execution of failed acting careers, well Bam succeeded with all his shows, but Chad Fernandez tried so hard it's sad.
Depending on when you grew up skating and who influenced you this list should shuffle.
Don't even bring up hard flip, mid 90s or North Hollywood

Is Ken Park a skateboard film? Does it count if the first scene is a redhead blowing his brains out in a skate park?

I loved that the kids in the movie had a weight bench in their living room. It reminded me of my friends house when I was growing up. Just a bunch of 16 year olds living in the suburbs

True, Wassup Rockers is pretty sick.
I like to think of a skate movie as any movie with any degree of legitimate skateboarding or skaters in them. Kind of like how Die Hard is a Christmas movie. So, Police Academy 4, Gummo (Gonz), Mallrats (J Lee), Next Friday (Justin Pierce). What else?

Why is Kids considered a “skate” movie?
Because it has Video Days?
HH?
Independent shirts?
Am I missing something?

i think this is the exact reason Kids is the best "skate" movie in my opinion.
skating in itself can only be so engaging as a plot device and pales in comparison to the wealth of story telling options you have when depicting the lives of some skaters and their often despicable behavior. it might not be the most positive or comprehensive film adaptation of skating, but i'd argue its the most accurate.
