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.
but did/does he skate?

Variety review:

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."

Wow, it's like they were reading Slap and following Weckingball.

but did/does he skate?

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.

There isn't a chance in hell Jonah Hill did a kickflip. That kid is a bald faced liar and if you think it's bold faced you can go fuck yourself like that little kid can.

haha honestly at this point, having seen the movie, i’ve kinda stopped caring whether or not he skates. you can be obsessed with skating and not skate.

and if he doesn’t, so what? it’s a good movie and doesn’t really portray skaters very negatively. i thought it was gonna be shit too but was surprised it was the opposite. and my friends that were there said the same. it ain’t no grind or street dreams.

don't know why this movie is getting so much hate. it seems like it will be the only "skate movie" to actually get it right. Also the story seems like it will be pretty good and if A24 backs it then it must be good. They have a great track history in indie films

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.

Jenkem dropped that heaviest part, fat boys ripping. Chomp on this Fat boys section. My homie Ryan in the crew was fat and could crook. At least a slappy would please me,but no...we have Nakel's word paid for by Hill.

Spike Jonze should be the guy to make mainstream skate movies. Get the crail guys active

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. It doesn't matter if he can kickflip, we all know by now that the crailtap top5 was real and Jonah isn't some poser with a Thrasher shirt. I'm backing Jonah 100% and I'm gonna watch this movie.

Do you really want only skaters to make movies involving skaters? Because most of these skaters this side of spike jonze are pure idiots.

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.

All this Jonah Hill is not a skater bullshit is wack. If you want a skater made movie about skating go watch street dreams or whatever that abortion of a film was that PRod starred in. or like stay gold or something.

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.
