I will never watch anything by this group of people. Boo to Bobby for being in this, Nike money changed that man.

Imagine wearing a redbull hat with a golf shirt to film a slight variation of a trick at a spot the gonz skated 25 years ago. And that’s the stand out trick in your video?!?

Everyone knows back 180 to fakie would’ve been 5,000,000 times harder. 270 in is the safety spin. Kickflip is gnarlier, hell I would say gonz ollie is gnarlier because it was in the rain no? Not to mention he saw the spot and had the idea lil dick riders

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.


Once I was alone I just laid on the futon listening to Leonard Cohen and thinking about the other girl I liked and missed.

I actually like the nine club and listen to pretty much every one. Couldnt make it through his episode.

I remember listening to that thinking who is this dude and someone phoned in and was crying because he was so overwhelmed talking to him? Like how can you buy into this nonsense so hard

This dude tries way too hard between the clothing and trying to force his way into being some sort of movie mogul. I remember reading he was using all his celebrity friend clout to get distribution for this movie or something, because no one wanted it.

Several good skate documentaries out there.  I like the one about Steve Caballero, in and out of prison for drugs, now he's a pastor and still ripping.  Go Cab!  He's the trailer

I've never even heard of this movie. I live in LA but have only been to North Hollywood like twice. It's Nowheresville.

They had that shootout in the 90s

I remember thinking Paranoid Park incorporated skating in a way that felt genuine and not cringey. Wonder if Gus Van Sant can kickturn

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.

this is kind of a weird take , i kinda get where you are coming from but idk. its still pretty gnar. cardiel was the first one to do in in anti hero 1998 and gonz ate shit on it trying it in the same session.

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.

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

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
