Not sure if anyone else here shelled out the $20 to see it, but I did and man do I regret it. Only kinda cool think about it was seeing Tyshawn, Reynolds, Louie, and even a small cameo from Kader, but the plot didn’t really make sense/land and the whole conflict is about how the main character just lies to his friends about skating with pros. Should be on some streaming platform in May and then it will get the full review from everyone, but Mikey Alfred should just stop trying to hype these things up because it bummed me out...

new illegal civ movie was bad? i thought skaters were notorious for being great actors...

Is this a common thing with regards to becoming a pro skater? Your friends getting mad at you because you are skating with pros instead of them?
From everything I've seen, people in real life still regularly skate with their non-sponsored friends after turning am or pro for a company. Hell, who do you think films all their insta clips?

20 bucks...yikes. If it was free to watch..nevermind...fuck that too. I’m still disappointed I wasted 85 minutes watching mid 90’s..or 88 minutes watching Street Dreams..shit..maybe I will end up watching it..I know it’ll be a waste of time...how long is it?

It’s the best because it’s so self aware and ridiculous, I completely did not believe such a film could have existed until I saw it last year. Mccrank and Rattray who’d have thought it.
Also I believe you can’t make a good/cool movie about skateboarding. People should stop trying to prove that wrong. A good/unique story with skateboarding/youth culture as the backdrop can work if done right.
A skate movie with Donald Trump’s pal Vince Vaughn and Miranda Cosgrove, what the fuck was the casting director smoking? I understand bigger names help the movie to get picked up by distributors but damn, what a monumental flop. In the process Mikey has been shown up by Davonte Jolly at doing his own thing.

Agreed. It bums me out to see people get all extended on Sweet Lou and Grind. It was meant to be a silly stoner comedy about skateboarding. Street Dreams on the other hand had Prod trying to win an oscar for doing the ugliest 360 flip crooked grind on a rail at Tampa.

I watched it with a couple of buddies, mostly to see how bad it was. It was almost like watching an alien transmission. The main character calls his dad “Pops” and then says it at the end of every sentence. At one point they dress up like they are characters in Happy Days. It’s really bad when Jason Dill is one of the best actors in your movie.
It was borderline unwatchable at times. Cant wait for this to be released to the general public to see how much it gets roasted here. I’m hoping Bobby didn’t spend his time on this movie instead of getting clips for the Krooked video.
-
Machotaildrop is the best, hands down. It also spawned the manwolfs which is a lovely little joke that so few people are in on. Also thrashin is a masterpeece
I thought mid90s was nice enough. Not the best movie ever but i liked it.
I'll probably see North Hollywood when it doesn't have a $20 price tag on it.

llegal civ/ mickey alfredo really sucks. atleast theyre keeping it real by embracing the fact theyre just a bunch of spoiled rich LA kids. idk anyone whos into that shit besides jonah hill
gotta love when idiots act all "if you just keep trying, and keep your eyes on your goal, with jesus on your side you can do anything! look i even made a movie all by myself!" when in reality the only reason these kids have accomplished anything is the connections to hollywood they have via parents.
does anyone outside of their dickriding fanbase even care? cant imagine any kid at any shop anywhere needing a board and looking at a wall of deluxe, quasi, etc and buying a "jumpmanblanco" board lmao
someone put my avatar on a board so i can go pro and listen to mickey alfred talk to me about investments at skatespots in LA
PS always thought the whole "Mid 90s" shit was whack because most these dudes were born in like 94-96. they wasnt there.

Why are all skate movies about the come up? Seems like a movie about a drug addicted company owner who is an amazing skater, but terrible financial planner would be a more interesting story.
Imagine if the main character was a mixed of Jim Greco’s temperament, with Jamie Thomas’ demand of others, with Kareem Campbell’s inability to pay people on time or show up to things...you would have the greatest skate movie ever.

Not exclusively about skateboarding, but there's a few pro skateboarders sprinkled throughout the movie and I believe Telly and Casper were both skaters who got picked up to be in the movie because "they were the real deal" according to Larry Clark and Harmony Korine...
Also, all of the skateboarders facing sexual assault and rape charge shouldn't have taken this movie to heart, but then again, I think the directors were trying to show how some Kids (young skateboarders in NYC were behaving in the mid 90's)
First time I watched this movie, I crept into my parents living room and turned on HBO at midnight and Kids was playing, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. RIP Justin Pierce and Harold Hunter

In a discussion about skate movies or movies with a skate theme or even movies featuring skaters as a sideshow we should mention Gleaming The Cube and Police Academy 4.

Hell yeah Citizens on Patrol was tight. Gleaming the Cube has my vote for best skate film, yeah it had some corny shit in it but it had some legitimate skating and pros as well. Christian Slater could do no wrong back then too. That and RAD for BMX were the jams back in the day. Something about the RAD soundtrack just gets me amped even after all this time.

This. Imagine a movie about a lazy alcoholic pro skater being loved by the kids but actually being a miserable person. Skate version of hanckock. Much more realistic and much more interesting to see someone after all of the hollywood pro skater imagination. If skaters would love the storyline of street dreams theyd be so hyped to hear jagger eaton talk about his life and i doubt anyone of us wonders how that happened.

The definition of apex is the uppermost point, so to say that Illegal Civ is at their apex and that they’re about to take off is 100% incorrect use of the word.
Couldn’t pass that one up. One of my favorite things is when people fuck up trying to sound smarter than everyone. Especially when they have the whole kit to boot.

Miranda Cosgrove isn’t a Name. We know her name, but that isn’t driving ticket sales. I think I read in an interview that those guys all have a weird obsession with her and she was probably pretty easy to get (same with Vince Vaughn). Actors like this aren’t tough to get because actors like to work and I’m guessing (will not watch) VV probably worked a few days on the whole shoot (which likely wasn’t more than 30 days itself)
It’s funny/telling that no ones has mentioned Lords of Dogtown as a skate movie.

“You think the politicians that run my country and your country don’t have guns in the schools their kids go to? They do. And we should be allowed the same rights.” -Vince Vaughn.
Wonder if he has the same coke guy as Don Jr.
Kind of crazy of Mikey to use that dude. Must of been a scratch my back, scratch yours. Good look for Vince to have a chance of looking cool again, and Mikey gets more traction for his movie with Vince's celebrity, or whatever celebrity he has left.
Love KB's recent stories about people being fake friends with other people. Wonder if this has anything to do with those guys in North Hollywood.
Anyways, might watch it if it's free and see how long I can endure the cringe. It will have to be a day where I'm hella bored tho. Like...it's gonna be a deathly hot summer and I can't do shit on my day off bored

Back when Vice was less cringeworthy, they produced a documentary called Dragonslayer. It was similar to, but harsher than Minding the Gap imo.

Just watched this again last night because I noticed it's on Prime for free. Heath is pretty much the reason to watch it even if it makes Skip Engblom look like an asshole. The skating is super anachronistic, which isn't a surprise, but the weirdest part of it is all the soundalike music. There's some music on the score that almost gets into Zep's Ramblin On put keeps pulling back. I woulda thought a big Hollywood production could pony up for the licensed tunes.

Haven’t watched this and probably won’t. If it’s anything like mid 90’s it’s going to be cringe.
Make a movie with a good story, that involves skating, but isn’t the focus. I think that’s the only way for it to not be corny IMO

There’s an alternate universe where David Finches didn’t drop out of directing lords of Dogtown. But there’s also another universe where his protege Fred Durst also didn’t.

Lord have mercy, this fucked up my whole day
Holy fuck. I knew society was headed for a collapse but I thought we had more time.
Minimalism is not about "taking away for the sake of taking away". Anyone would know that by studying a bit of design philosophy 101. Mikey is what happens when you give your kids participation trophies instead of educating them in the foundations of art and history.

i haven’t seen it but, it’s hilarious that he named the main character after himself and then had him be play a dude that wants to hide how cool he is from his friends in order to spare their feelings... him and jonah should make out already and quit fighting over who is more smug/delusional.

Ah but poor Jonah was just acting out a fantasy of not being the fat kid and being able to skate well. It is a masturbatory exercise, but emotionally, I feel for him

theres a reason it didnt receive legit distribution. the dude is a total kook and he's not doing his friends any favors by keeping up the act.

South Hollywood was a way better movie hands down.
No such place. North Hollywood and West Hollywood are cities. East Hollywood is kind of a neighborhood that there’s some disagreement to where it is (I’m looking at you shitty bar off Western that dares put EaHo on its storefront). Just wanted to shoot you down because you’re a bad faith idiot
Atiba you still mad everybody leaves you hanging on the high fives huh? And I don’t blame you, I pray for you. Here’s a song a song for you too

Why are all skate movies about the come up? Seems like a movie about a drug addicted company owner who is an amazing skater, but terrible financial planner would be a more interesting story.
Imagine if the main character was a mixed of Jim Greco’s temperament, with Jamie Thomas’ demand of others, with Kareem Campbell’s inability to pay people on time or show up to things...you would have the greatest skate movie ever.
Lords of Dogtown was absolute dog shit, but Heath Ledger's performance as a character who acts in that kind of manner is actually pretty good. As soon as he's out of the picture its awful, but yeah.
There’s an alternate universe where David Finches didn’t drop out of directing lords of Dogtown. But there’s also another universe where his protege Fred Durst also didn’t.
That's interesting. I had no idea Fincher was involved at one point. I kept thinking mid-production rescope while I was watching it but I didn't know that detail. Also crazy that Stacy Peralta gets sole writing credit since it's pretty uncommon for any movie to have just one writer credited.

For a writer to get credit, Writers Guild arbitration has to rule that an additional writer contributed 10% of original material to the script. Script doctors and punch-up writers are rarely credited (I’m sure they mostly like to keep it that way because of the quality of things they are brought on to to sweeten) but they get good pay for like 4 weeks of work at a time. The sweet gigs are the people brought in to punch up already shot movies. They get paid a pretty penny just to watch the footage.
It’s Stacy’s story and it’s based on true events so I’m sure he had some level of control about not bringing in a new writer and what not and since it’s a true story there aren’t the typical screenwriter shenanigans where they arbitrarily change the names of characters and things like that in order to have “created” more things.
Also, if anyone’s curious “&” means the writers wrote together while “and” means a new writer was brought on.

I remember thinking Paranoid Park incorporated skating in a way that felt genuine and not cringey. Wonder if Gus Van Sant can kickturn
Skating plays a role in this GVS movie too:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BwxeOzSx8A (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BwxeOzSx8A)
He was also an executive producer on Kids. Love me some GVS.
Way back in the day before he even started directing, Gus was a production assistant on one of those skate movies that came out during the 1970s skate boom
It was either “Skateboard: The Movie” or “Skateboard Kings”
Gus is one of the all time greats for sure.

Ya Nuge played Shogo and made a ton of money. He shows up quite a bit in the film, so I’m sure those residual checks are pretty nice haha.

Michael Crichton made so much money for “creating” ER. The story is in that CAA book, but it basically was a pilot he wrote in the 80s that no one cared about. Some agents in the 90s wanted to try again because he was Uber hot shit at the time and he agreed on the condition he wouldn’t do any work on it. They agreed, found some people to clean it up and he made a many millions of pretty pennies
-
On the one hand I don't trust the judgement of someone who paid to watch this, on the other hand of course it's terrible
-
Yeah, Crichton did well for himself, that's for sure. Was probably set off his novels.

From an objective point of view, the trailer looks promising. Don't really know what Illegal Civ is. I've tried watching a video and turned it off after 5 minutes of helmeted kids with a monotone narrator. I think I'm just too old and uncool to understand.
A few things look strange. It wonder how the mid-century aesthetic, which is clearly deliberate, fits into the plot. Also, kids this age can't possibly be high school. And if the story is autobiographical, the story would seem more compelling with a black protagonist.

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

I just read this entire thread and I still don't know what it's about.
-
Mikey is pretty corny. Never seen anyone other than Mikey or the models in IC shoots wear that wack clothing. Maybe sometimes the riders do...but not really.
I get the impression Mikey thinks he knows better and is cooler than everyone. Thats likely the cause of his "beef" with Spike and Jonah. Guys let him shadow them, and then he got pissed probably when he was trying to give them ideas for their own project. Vets like Spike and Jonah ain't gonna listen to some rookie like Mikey. Looks at his infantile brand and productions.
Definitely blasting some negativity on him but damn. Good job for putting in the work towards brand and production but kid expects everyone to pat him on the ass and say "atta boy." Dude needs to spend more time outside his friend group.

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

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

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

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

His mom works in the movie industry. Obviously the only reason Jonah got into the movie industry is because of his mommy but the reason he stayed is because he has talent.
Slap loves to hate on Jonah but mid 90’s was a really successful movie. I remember me and the crew watching it in theaters and it was packed and stayed there for a good 3 weeks which is rare. We didn’t think much of it but the cinematography was at least decent. Jonah is also a genuinely good actor, his perfomances in war dogs and Maniac are simply brilliant. I also feel like he gets a bad rap for « cashing in » even though he’s been in the culture since he was a little kid so yeah putting whoever the fuck the blodney clone is on jonah’s level is unfair and an insult to Jonah. Still waiting on that kickflip footy though
Mid90s made just over $9M. That’s not super successful. It was successful only in the sense it gave Jonah a chance to direct his first feature and he made people’s money back.
Mikey’s mom, if I recall, works in the industry in the sense she was Robert Evans’s housekeeper or assistant or something like that.
mid90s made 9mil off a budget of less than 2 million. This was a24 not disney
Yeah it definitely made bank

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

I saw the trailer and figured it to be all pretty camera movements, lighting and color and not much else.
On a somewhat related note, as a first year film student, I was snapped at by a senior screenwriting major for being close minded because I wouldn’t go see Mid 90’s because I claimed it would do nothing for me or show me anything new.

Well at least you’re self-aware that you’re a close-minded obnoxious freshman film student. Read and watch everything you can. You learn just as much, if not more from the failures than you do the successes. Don’t be the person who turns your nose up at stuff, particularly at your age. No one likes that guy, no one wants to collaborate with that guy, no one wants to hire that guy.
Also, try and get a second major or at least a minor in a “real” subject like English literature or history. Having a wide breadth of knowledge is more vital to your potential career than knowing the rule of thirds or whether you’re crossing the line.

Why are all skate movies about the come up? Seems like a movie about a drug addicted company owner who is an amazing skater, but terrible financial planner would be a more interesting story.
Imagine if the main character was a mixed of Jim Greco’s temperament, with Jamie Thomas’ demand of others, with Kareem Campbell’s inability to pay people on time or show up to things...you would have the greatest skate movie ever.
This. Imagine a movie about a lazy alcoholic pro skater being loved by the kids but actually being a miserable person. Skate version of hanckock. Much more realistic and much more interesting to see someone after all of the hollywood pro skater imagination. If skaters would love the storyline of street dreams theyd be so hyped to hear jagger eaton talk about his life and i doubt anyone of us wonders how that happened.
This sounds like a biopic about Antwuan Dixon
-
Forced myself to watch the whole thing, but man this movie is just boring. Plot is as basic as can be and dialogue is mostly awful. All the character relationships are exaggerated (pros act super cool, dad doesn't approve sweater with shorts, friends get all pissy when you hang out with a girl, etc.) to the point where it feels like it should be either a comedy or a children's movie, but it doesn't want to be either of those.

That was truly something else. It must be watched to see how bad it actually is. I can't imagine the thoughts going in the distributors minds when they are watching this. I think the funniest bit to me is that they had Sam Muller & Atiba Jefferson on the same session. Atiba is just sitting there, and Sam is taking the photo of Ryder's character doing a trick down the 10 stair. This would never actually happen. Tyshawn skating the Baker Boys park was great.

Is she? She isn’t listed in the credits. Just remember, actors want to act and they spend a large percentage of the year not acting, so they’ll take all sorts of jobs that some may consider beneath them. Gotta keep up that SAG health insurance

Ngl the trailer seemed promising. Was not willing to spend the $19 for an e-viewing so waited till yesterday to hit the 4.99 rental on Apple TV. And wow for all the promotion and hype it was not by any means good. I went into not with high hopes but not expecting what we got.
I’ll say some nice things first. Great camera work, soundtrack, color grading. It does come off very professional, high production. Tyshawns Ss flip up the set at baker boys park.
But wtf is this plot, NOTHING HAPPENS. The entire time every scene is like two lines and 20 seconds and it just keeps jumping around from nothing to nothing. The main character probably calls his dad “pops” one thousand times no joke. Just fucking call him dad or just talk to him, we know he’s your fucking dad we get that. There is no ending, no point, no purpose. He skates, likes a girl, gets into a childish fight with his friends, tries to be cool, gets beat up, goes to church, and then cries over daddy issues and it’s over. For what. Someone help me out here, Mikey goes on and on about how it’s the first movie about going Pro, when he maybe gets on flow? Gets one box? Like what??? Miranda Cosgrove is punching the air right now thinking this is gonna reshape her acting career.

I watched this today, hadn't seen the trailers or anything before hand, so went in with no expectations.
The plot centers around a kid named Mike, a young skateboarder/ex-church altar boy who aspires to become a professional one day and who has an awkward huge crush on Bobby Worrest (but let's be serious, who doesn't!). Unfortunately there's multiple obstacles between him and Bobby: Daddy issues, water polo practices, best friends, a potential girlfriend, college... So he must navigate through these troubles to win a trip to SF with Bobby.
The acting wasn't memorable, maybe Vince Vaughan as dad was above average. But if you take out the skateboarding backdrop and cameos, if you have seen any coming-of-age/young adult films, the story is entirely predictable without shocks or surprises. It wasn't offensively bad film, but you can go on Netflix and watch thousand similar movies. I'd compare this to Moxie! that Amy Poehler directed, which was in many ways comparable movie (on different subject matter) and it even shared an actor (Nico Hiraga) with this one. Just something you can waste hour and a half on before going to bed because you need something on the background when you are browsing Instagram.
Compared to other skatefilms... Cubes weren't cleamed and there wasn't much of Thrashin' either. I think Mid90's was a better film, but that one goes for that 90's nostalgia, so it has that going for it. But at least this was better than Grind or whatever.
-
Is it really about a guy with daddy issues who has a crush on Bobby Worrest? That’s stupid funny if true. Is that where the admiration comes from? Wild. But I guess it makes sense.

Watched it last night, it was relatable gives me hope for the next release. It was like a debut novel. Now that they did this one to learn the craft I foresee good things. One poster made comparisons based on genre and I'm not sure those are really relevant it's the sensibility of the film that really carries it through this is not like any coming of age drama for me at least.

Just got done watching it.. $3.00 to rent on youtube. As much as I love skating, seeing it in films always kinda takes me out of that immersive viewing experience.. I think thats been the case for me with most movies that involve skating to some capacity. There are some weaknesses, which you'd expect from any first time director, but honestly I thought it was pretty okay... A lot of IC and Golf branding which kinda took me out of it a little but I can't blame him for plugging his own shit. As far as the performances go, Ryder was pretty solid, Vince Vaugn was good, but above all Aramis stood out to me the most. Some of the other performances came across as a little half baked, but not bad enough to bother me too much. I think the dialogue had its weak / cheesy moments, but to viewers outside of skating, I don't think it'l stick out as much. The cinematography was pretty nice, minus the way the skating was filmed. Sorta just filmed like a skate video which I'm not really a fan of when it comes to a feature film.
Overall, I thought it was pretty good. Didn't stick out to me as excellent, but it didn't suck either.

Someone has thrown in up on YouTube for free and even though it costs nothing I still feel that is somehow more than it's worth.

Watched it with the homies. We started yelling at the tv like it was the superbowl when iCarly pulled those crystals out. I’m putting this one somewhere between mid 90’s and hardflip. Ultimately I will end up re-watching because I love a good cringe and it feels like watching The Room.

I tried to watch it sober. Big mistake.
I'll save it for when I'm drunk and need to laugh at a movie that tries to be better than Wassup Rockers but fails bigger than hardflip if it was directed by the kid curling taped together forks in Gummo.

Yeah I was aware I let that seeming inconsistency dangle. However, there is a difference between Mid90s (an actual theatrically distributed/released movie) and some vanity project made because it’s cheap for anyone to make a movie.
Obviously there is a quality threshold that should be looked at and it’s not gatekeeping or anything like that. If you are a film student that is interested in working in the industry, looking at what gets released, who releases them, how it’s received, etc is important to do. This is someone with an MFA advising someone going for their BFA. I’m in my 30s and they were presumably still in their teens, so they should be open to cultivating their taste from any which way they can (using common sense to know what that means)
There could be some value gleaning from watching North Hollywood to see why no distributors touched it with a ten-foot pole, but I think you could learn a lot more elsewhere whilst not supporting Mikeys ego.

I wouldn't really compare that to North Hollywood. It was a very well made documentary, but it has multiple different angles than just skateboarding. Skateboarding is what connects these people, but the documentary goes a lot deeper than just skating. There's large focus on cycle of domestic violence, racism and alcoholism and how the economic class affects all that. It focuses on american youth, but I definitely could see similarities on my own circle of friends growing up.

I liked some things about it. Bright saturated colors is a welcome reprieve from the prevailing trend of washed out and shifted colors. Continuous takes and vignetting also lend to the skate video feel. I couldn't tell if the incongruent pairing of scenes to late '50s/early '60s soul and rock 'n roll was an homage to Kenneth Anger but it must have been deliberate (since skate videos are often so precise with music placement and timing). Plotwise, I'm a little confused. I think he's graduated, but is still playing school sports. Also, I'm pretty sure if a 17/18 year old is just starting to network for prospective sponsors, it's probably not going to happen (is he trying to get on Krooked flow?). I'm a bit out of touch with how it works now, but I think it would be more realistic to establish the character as a man/am trying to get to the next level. Also, the dialog could have improved drastically, especially with the heart to heart with pops (I always called my dad that).

Mikey Alfred reminds me of a character in GTA that you'd do zany missions for/with, who eventually ends of getting himself killed or something.

I liked minding the gap. That is a good film. I’ll watch this eventually too. It’s not like I got anything better going on and I’m ok with wasting time. I used to play video games.

Mikey Alfred is more productive with his time versus all of us... I thought the film was pretty good and they did it on a budget. Like 50 said, "If they hate, let them hate and watch the money pile up."

There could be some value gleaning from watching North Hollywood to see why no distributors touched it with a ten-foot pole
I'm interested in this part.
The movie looks very dumb but would have at least some commercial appeal, if it can't get distribution that really says something

Wooah easy now. The contention here is someone saying he’s so much more productive than all of us and I made a flip comment about that. Not bagging on everyone everywhere for trying anything. Fuck.
And aspiring filmmakers tend to cut their teeth making short films first. No one should just start out on a feature film, but his arrogance and the cheapness of shooting a movie led him to believe he should.

the budget was 1.8 million which is really tiny for shooting in LA.

That’s not tiny for shooting in LA. That’s tiny for a studio feature, but not for an indie/super indie. Sure it’s under the $5M threshold for SAG, but it’s hardly a micro-budget. I assumed he shot it for like 300k because it certainly looks cheap. They shot in LA and in the 30 Mile Zone. Most budgets tend to get eaten up with above the line talent (director, writer, actors, etc) which this movie didn’t have. Paying Vince Vaughn his day rate was probably the only big cost run on the film and if it ran over 20-30 days, I’d be shocked.
To compare, Palm Springs cost $5M because it shot outside of LA which means you have to provide transportation, lodging, per diem, etc, plus it had name talent in it shooting a large percentage of the shooting schedule. That budget will go up when the distributor acquires it because Prints and Advertising runs (iirc) 50% of what the budget was on top of the budget, but that isn’t reported in public budget costs.

Technically it was fine but the writing and pacing wasn't exactly great. Scenes thrown in together, resulting in a superficial narrative.
Not sure who gave the worst performance, Miranda Cosgrove or Bobby Worrest. :D

Why are all skate movies about the come up? Seems like a movie about a drug addicted company owner who is an amazing skater, but terrible financial planner would be a more interesting story.
Imagine if the main character was a mixed of Jim Greco’s temperament, with Jamie Thomas’ demand of others, with Kareem Campbell’s inability to pay people on time or show up to things...you would have the greatest skate movie ever.
Please someone make this movie

Movies are about the come-up because protagonists or the main side character are usually the audience surrogate so they learn about the world as the character is initiated. It’d be too esoteric for the regular person if the world was already established and everyone knew their place. It’s why the majority of tv pilots are about someone’s first day on the job or in a new place.

I watched this finally, it's more about what happens when you're in a skate click of virgins, and one of the homies finally meets a girl. Thrashin' did a better job of the going Pro story. All this dude did in the end was catch a free ride to SF in the end. You could make a drinking game out of all the times "Pops" and "Son" is spoken throughout this movie too, it's like they had to remember who was who. This definitely wasn't for my demographic, and I can't wait to see kids pushing all the forced lingo and writing on their Chucks in my area.

as much as a recycled from every skate movie story it is, I'd much rather watch this than Mid 90s, there was a lot of semi funny concepts that seem like if Mikey Alfred made some sorta skate related short form sketch comedy it would work.

$20!! I only paid 4.99 to buy it on Amazon.

i'm getting the impression that mikey alfred isn't on the scorsese, tarantino level and that this video feature lots of pro skaters acting for the first time is most likely not going to get an oscar nod

this goes through out the movie. some whacky shots and it just doesn't look like a movie.

im talking about framing the time it plays. once upon a time in Hollywood is only about showing people how the 60s and 70s were. the plot ends beeing not accurate to what happened in real life but it shows real life in the 60s and 70s in Hollywood.
NH plays with being "vintage" like going to a diner drinking a milkshake in converse and your college jacket.
it romanticizes with older times by not including phone calls from your mobile phone or instagram or any type of modern technology.
but also it misses to make it logical by including other modern things.

you dont seem to bright up there
what makes most movies fucking great is how they frame the world that the movie plays in.
once upon a time in h is great example for not only not having a classical tension arc but perfectly framing the end of the 60s and the years to come (70s). it has so many details that you feel like living in that era.
Wes anderson for example creates alternative worlds full of saturated colors and beautiful shot pictures that somehow make sense in its own.
North Hollywood doesn't define the time it plays in but wants you to love the vintage aspect in it. it has saturated colors (f.e. the swimming pool scene) but ugly shots. it want to create its own world but it doesn't work.

im talking about framing the time it plays. once upon a time in Hollywood is only about showing people how the 60s and 70s were. the plot ends beeing not accurate to what happened in real life but it shows real life in the 60s and 70s in Hollywood.
NH plays with being "vintage" like going to a diner drinking a milkshake in converse and your college jacket.
it romanticizes with older times by not including phone calls from your mobile phone or instagram or any type of modern technology.
but also it misses to make it logical by including other modern things.
I don’t know what you’re babbling about. Once Upon a time also takes place in 69 and at no part is in the 70s
you dont seem to bright up there
what makes most movies fucking great is how they frame the world that the movie plays in.
once upon a time in h is great example for not only not having a classical tension arc but perfectly framing the end of the 60s and the years to come (70s). it has so many details that you feel like living in that era.
Wes anderson for example creates alternative worlds full of saturated colors and beautiful shot pictures that somehow make sense in its own.
North Hollywood doesn't define the time it plays in but wants you to love the vintage aspect in it. it has saturated colors (f.e. the swimming pool scene) but ugly shots. it want to create its own world but it doesn't work.
this is a fun conversation to watch unfold, and i feel like it would benefit from these film-studies terms...i'll be lazy and just include the definitions from Wikipedia:
diegetic (or diegesis)-- "in the cinema, typically refers to the internal world created by the story that the characters themselves experience and encounter: the narrative 'space' that includes all the parts of the story, both those that are and those that are not actually shown on the screen (such as events that have led up to the present action; people who are being talked about; or events that are presumed to have happened elsewhere or at a different time)"
non-diegetic -- "Thus, elements of a film can be 'diegetic' or 'non-diegetic'. These terms are most commonly used in reference to sound in a film, but can apply to other elements. For example, an insert shot that depicts something that is neither taking place in the world of the film, nor is seen, imagined, or thought by a character, is a non-diegetic insert. Titles, subtitles, and voice-over narration (with some exceptions) are also non-diegetic..."
edit: i meant to mention that nothing about this film seemed interesting...has it been on Netflix?

there's no building up tension in once upon a time in Hollywood. most old movies from the time the movie plays dont have this formula and it was refreshing to see it being used again. some would say boring but it gives you the unexpected at any time even if nothing happens at all.

So you don’t think there’s any tension in a movie that takes place on the day of the Manson murders where one of the main characters is Sharon Tate (not to mention, if you know anything about the murders, a stuntman - which was Brad Pitt’s character’s occupation- did die at Spahn ranch earlier that day)? There’s definitely a build up of tension and catharsis when you see that history doesn’t play out as it actually happened.

Damn dude you sound like a true aficionado. Is your favorite movie The Godfather? Just like your visionary filmmaker, Sir Mikey Alfred?
-
Macho Taildrop was so good. Did not know of it's existance til I visited this thread a couple weeks ago. 10/10 might be my favorite movie of all time. The part with Frank with the horses just felt super emotional to me for some reason, it just made me super happy. This movie is super meta i think it is supposed to actually be a critique of pro skateboarding actually while also making a mockery of it without being corny. The music and the setting of the movie is amazing too and just the way its shot and stuff.
-
Other then Police Academy 4 or Most Vertical Primate 2 (the two best skateboard movies of all time)this movie was no better or worse then any other skateboard movie. I’d throw back to the future in there as well but at this point I consider that movie to be more of a warning or prophecy then entertainment.
Everyone looked like happy days bringing me to a lost memory of the time I meet Henry Winkler in an elevator and I said Heeeeey in my best Fonz impression and he scowled at me and we rode the rest of the way in silence. He was short.

there is tension in the movie but it doesn't build up in a classical way. the masons arent the opponents or the resolution for any problems. other movies build up some sort of tension. 3/4 into once upon a time and you still dont know what the movie could end with.
North Hollywood has a classic story line. it tries not to have one but at the end its the same old I just want to be accepted dad dont be a fake friend and put your dreams over friendship type story like almost any teenage movie ever.

Wrong. The skateboard kid is not only the best one. If is unironically the truest representation of skateboarding out of all of em.
-
Random thoughts : looked like a youtube movie or direct to dvd movie.
- The main character was so unlikable. Beeing a dick to everyone for no reason. Also he is nowhere near flow level
- why does every one acts like pro skaters are making a lot of money ?
- so annoyed at the main character discourse about money and working. Just trashing his dad’s career and hustle. Little piece of shit brat.
- I had a friend who started to lie all the time after he met a girl we did not really got along with. So that was funny .
- seems like nothing happens in the movie.
- the pros seem sooo boring and dumb aha. This movie really does not make you want to be a pro skater.
- the sound design thing when he wrestle his dad or something is so overused and tacky.
- laught at the idea of him doing water polo with that body.
- the relation with the girl is useless and seems soo forced. There is no chemistry. For the most part it feels they are forced to hang out. We never see actual moments of first love flirt happening and we never hear one of their conversation.
- all the pros are bad at acting. Nico is okay as a comic relief, second or third character type. I could see him in more professional Stuff.
- crazy that a movie about wanting to be pro does not make me want to skate or hang out with the homies.
- also we believe in their friendship just because they state multiple time in the movie that are childhood friends but again we barely see any genuine moments of hanging out. At least mid90 did that right
A very uninteresting and forgettable movie. And I am a sucker for teen movies.

I watched North Hollywood and I don't think it was awful but I probably won't watch it again unless I'm with someone who really wants to see it. I mainly wanted to see the character that Vince Vaughn played in it. Skaters have always been so quick to hate on something that its a bit of a bummer.

Good breakdown, the fact that a movie like grind made me want to skate with my friends when we were in highschool says something because we knew that movie sucked, if this as an earnest movie "by skaters" doesn't make you want to it speaks volumes.

finally got around to watching this shit
as others said the 50's aesthetic they are going for gets totally blown up by tossing in current cultural references like nora and ishod. and notice tj and bobby dont dress in that wack outfit either they obviously said they werent down for it lmao.
seems to me like there is some low key racism / ignorance going on. the scene where he wont eat at ish's house was weird and unnecessary. the way black people are represented in the film seems like that are 2nd class like notice the girl's friend is also black to match with white boy's black best friend and asian 3rd friend. the guy whos real who has to have the heart to heart with him to bring him back to reality lel. notice there were hardly any women in that movie. they had such weak roles too the few that were in there were so pathetic. also that scene with the bashing female skaters was weird and seemed un necessary. lmao then they end the movie with a vince vaughn heart to heart after black hammer
when he steals the board from the mall then hides it, i odnt see the point in including that. it didnt really make sense they showed the japanese guy fighting the security guards with a board same with ish but thne they all meet up underground seems like they got away but then theres just 1 sole security guard and they are cooked with no evidence... if they were going to include that scene they should have had sunny sneak back in later or some shit
so many missed opportunities wit hthis movies. like his dad was a concrete guy, they should have segway'd that into him building sick DIY spots or hell take easier road and build skate parks with his dad or some shit. instead went the pure cheeseball route!
guy 3 flips the tiniest ten stair after going back like 70 times to get it as if they would be like hell yeah ur comin to SF bruh. probably so ABD its not even funny thats why you never see that spot on any video its just too tiny. FUCK YOU MIKEY ALFRED

All I know is that his mom worked in some capacity for former producer Robert Evans. Robert Evans also hasn’t done dick (before he recently passed) in the past 30 years that would enable his employee to be rich enough to have a trust fund. There is a huge difference between having a parent that has money and having a trust fund. I believe they lived in Evans’s guest house or something like that, which explains the gated community.

ok if he isn't rich, he really does ACT like a entitled rich douchebag for some reason

I was a combination of bored and curious as just how bad, bad is, now.
I couldn't even finish that trash, it was possibly up there with Street Dreams. Or down there.

i'm not interested in North Hollywood, although i may inevitably give it a chance if it makes it to Netflix.
this on the other hand, was mentioned above i think, and i watched it this past weekend, and as skeptical as my old jaded ass wanted to be about it at first, it knocked me on my ass a bit and was honestly quite beautiful

North Hollywood was absolute excrement, however that looks like a beautiful story/film like you said. I'm gonna watch it with my lady this week.

yeah its aramis hudson he is one of those illegal civ guys
def seems like there is some low key white male supremism in this movie to me maybe i am looking into it too much. the non white man characters all feel weak / inferior in comparison.

I feel you @rawbertson. I got the same vibe

The amount of off-putting behavior in this movie was astounding. It's like they don't even know how to be human.

Hasn’t every IC video proven that?

I have an important question;
Has anyone here ACTUALLY seen an illegal Civ board in the wild before??

I was going to say jumping to conclusions about a character with name Adolf might be unreasonable. Then I checked out the team page.

Never. But also it's not really a skateboard company. I think they only sell exclusively through their website as well.

I recommend this film.
But be aware that even THIS is not without a dose of scandal as well.
Read here and be bummed/informed.

As corny as this film could occasionally be it had heart. There wasn’t much for character development but there was enough to get the message across. The beginning sequences and introduction to main characters was rushed. This film really came together halfway through the second act into the third. The music for the most part was terrible, it didn’t match the time or place. And Vince Vaughn carried his scenes. However, Mikey Alfred’s portrayal of skateboarding and the lifestyle was accurate, although it could’ve been portrayed much better. No matter where he comes from or what his experiences were, he was able to identify throughout the film the internal struggle that most, if not all people who skateboard feel, dream and do. At best, he highlighted the generational struggle between parents and child that we all know. At worst, there was a lot of lack of conflict resolution and character development, however , I suppose when making a movie it’s always hard to tie together all those loose ends and maintain the message.

I'm not gonna lie, and I mean this wholeheartedly...."Brink!" was a better skateboarding film. Jokes aside, North Hollywood got better towards the end but not enough to make it a good movie. It was terrible.

Good question, solid, no. I don't think there's a following for it in my area (Southern California desert).

Watched it last night, it was relatable gives me hope for the next release. It was like a debut novel. Now that they did this one to learn the craft I foresee good things. One poster made comparisons based on genre and I'm not sure those are really relevant it's the sensibility of the film that really carries it through this is not like any coming of age drama for me at least.
This word salad sucks.
Thank you for quoting me. I'm not sure why you feel that way about what I said. If you have any questions I'd be glad to answer them. Or you can just talk stupid s*** and go f*** yourself.

“Gabby, take the outside!”
“You never take the outside on a turn”
“Did you really dump a Vanilla shake on Val?”
“... chocolate”

Agreed. Brink is a classic. North Hollywood is garbage.

Street Dreams is a masterpiece, what are you talking about?

I don’t understand the people saying they had to pay for this suck fest. Go to target. Get a fire stick for $40. Go home and type in adding kodi or cinema hd app to fire stick. Follow the simple instructions for 12 mins. Boom. All tv shows and movies are available and free. #freecontent!

hows it free if it costs 40 bucks
-
just use torrent

You’re right. I should’ve wrote it out stating that for a 1 time fee of $40, you can watch any movie or tv show going forward, for free. Im not a computer expert by any means and I was able to do it first try. I recommend everyone go get a fire stick and follow the instructions on any of the hundred YouTube videos explaining how to download the app. I was able to get rid of cable and only have internet. Sure, I miss some live sport events cause I don’t know what app to use for that, but being able to watch any movie, especially ones like North Hollywood, and turn it off 20 mins into, feels great. Just offering some info for those that might not know this is an option.

Sorry to bump this thread.
This was on Showtime today and I tried for a bit. It was, in fact, objectively terrible. The cameos were cool/funny for about five minutes. Parts seemed like a setup for a Euphoria crossover episode, which would’ve been much better.
Mostly just felt bad for Vince Vaughn.
-
never feel bad for vince vaughn

I saw it recently and it was cheeks. This script was trash. Like I see what they were trying to do but they did it with the least likable character possible. The acting was mostly trash too. Aramis or Nico should've been the lead, acting-wise. They had some pieces there but you can only call in but so many favors from your skate industry friends and even then it can't save a paper thin plot.

It’ll probably end up on YouTube or vimeo eventually

Yooo you got a good link for the instructions for the cinema app? I had it and it don’t work and now I can’t find a working link with instructions. I’m trying find season 3 of bluey for my son. Ha. I think it’s out in Australia already
