Friday is a 1995 American buddy comedy film directed by F. Gary Gray and written by Ice Cube and DJ Pooh. The first installment in the Friday trilogy, the film stars Ice Cube, Chris Tucker, Nia Long, Tiny "Zeus" Lister Jr., Regina King, Anna Maria Horsford, Bernie Mac, and John Witherspoon. Set in South Central Los Angeles, it follows unemployed friends Craig Jones and Smokey, who face troubles after becoming indebted to a local drug dealer while also contending with the neighborhood bully.

While developing the film, Ice Cube and DJ Pooh expressed discontent regarding the portrayal of the hood in film, which they came to see as violent and menacing. As a result, they wished to counteract this, drawing on personal experiences when crafting the characters and plot points. Preparations for the film began after the pair were able to secure funding from New Line Cinema, who granted finance in exchange for a seasoned comedian in one of the lead roles; Ice Cube and DJ Pooh quickly settled on Tucker during casting, which helped skyrocket Tucker to stardom. The film was Gray's film directorial debut, who was previously known as a music video director.

Friday was theatrically released in the United States on April 26, 1995. It received positive reviews from critics, many of whom praised the comedic sequences, writing, and acting performances. The film was also a commercial success, grossing $27 million worldwide. It then obtained a large cult following, inspiring internet memes and pop-culture references. It launched a media franchise with the sequels Next Friday (2000) and Friday After Next (2002).

LaWanda Page cameos as a Jehovah's Witness that Craig shuts the door on. Michael Clarke Duncan appears in an uncredited role as a craps player; his film debut. Rap musician WC appears as a drive-by shooter working for Big Worm.

Before Friday's release, movies such as Boyz n the Hood (also starring Ice Cube) and Colors portrayed life in the hood as violent and menacing. Ice Cube and DJ Pooh felt that these films did not portray the full picture of living in the hood, missing a more lighthearted element, with Ice Cube later saying, "we had fun in the hood. We used to trip off the neighborhood."[6] Therefore, Cube and DJ Pooh decided to create a film that would portray that environment.[6]

The script was only the third Ice Cube had ever written; the previous two were undeveloped.[6] With the film, Ice Cube intended to make a "hood classic", one that could be "[watched] over and over and over again".[7] According to Ice Cube, a majority of the film is autobiographical, with much of it being based on events that occurred in his neighborhood growing up. Smokey was based on DJ Pooh's stint as a drug dealer,[6] while Craig being fired on his day off was based on Ice Cube's cousin, who was working as a delivery driver for United Parcel Service (UPS) at the time.[7]

Prior to writing, the duo realized their inexperience as filmmakers was unlikely to attract major film studios, and floated the idea of self-financing the film.[6] For a time, the idea of making the film in black and white to save money was considered,[6] before the pair decided on approaching New Line Cinema about producing the film, who had achieved success with the House Party series; a film-type the duo aimed to replicate.[6]

Ice Cube was granted license to select the film's director, and decided on F. Gary Gray, who was a music video director. Gray had previously worked with Ice Cube on a number of occasions, and was also aiming to establish a foothold in Hollywood through a short film. Ice Cube instead offered him the role for Friday, attracted to the fact that he and Gray had similar backgrounds, feeling the director would accurately capture the film's aesthetic.[6]

Friday was released on April 26, 1995, in the United States, June 30, 1995, in the United Kingdom, and October 5, 1995, in Australia. The film saw a limited, theatrical re-release in honor of its 20th anniversary on April 20, 2015, for one night only.[9]

The film was released on VHS on October 10, 1995, on DVD March 2, 1999, and on Blu-ray on September 8, 2009, with a new director's cut (97 minutes). The single disc DVD contains a theatrical trailer, a featurette on the film, and cast and crew interviews.

Friday grossed $6,589,341 on its opening weekend debuting at #2 in the box office in 865 theaters, averaging $7,617 per theater.[10] The film grossed $27,467,564 in North America,[4] against a budget of $3.5 million.

Rotten Tomatoes gives the film an approval rating of 76% based on 29 reviews, with an average rating of 6.4/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "What Friday might lack in taut construction or directorial flair, it more than makes up with its vibrant (albeit consistently crass) humor and the charming, energetic performances of its leads."[11] Metacritic gives the film a score of 54 out of 100, based on 9 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[12]

The film's success spawned two sequels: Next Friday (2000) and Friday After Next (2002). A fourth installment, tentatively titled Last Friday, has been in the works for several years. The film also inspired an animated series, titled Friday: The Animated Series, which aired in summer 2007.

That means, to cock the shutter you need to pull down a lever on the side of the camera. Doing this drops down the mirror mechanism and allows you to see through the prism viewfinder. When you press the shutter button (the silver button on the opposite side of the mirror lever), the mirror mechanism slides up and opens up the shutter to expose the Instax Square film in the back of the camera.

It's a shame that instant pack film is not available anymore because a camera like this built for that film would produce much better image quality. Unfortunately, this camera is hampered by the instax film it uses. I just can't see spending $600 on a camera that produces images that appear only marginally better than a normal fuji instax camera.

You miss the reasons behind this product. It is not about quality or usability: it is the "nostalgia" effect. You do not need Instax more than Lomo or Horizon rotating-lens camera (I have one myself) and talking of necessity there are not practical reasons even for a film Leica (I have and USE one, by the way). We are talking about suggestion, glamour, memories, desire to stand out, narcisism, creativity. Expensive? Really? In a world where they sell 2000$ smartphones only because they can be FOLDED? The right price is what customers are willing to pay, ask Apple how do they do it.

After reading this article I just ordered a NONS (rectangular format), because I teach photography and I want my students to experience a new way to share projects based on material OBJECTS that cannot be changed or cancelled like an Instagram post - and I also want the quality of my "everyday job" lenses.

So YES, this camera is weird, heavy, expensive and not very useful: most GOOD love stories are too.

Would really like to see a Chris and Jordan video, showing how the camera actually works. See them having some fun and creating some images with it. And as always, Chris would review the experience of using the camera and Jordan could talk about the film.

It is a shame that the instant films available now are so bad. If you look back at good Polaroid photography in the 70s, there used to exist fantastic instant film. Famous photographers used it (e.g., the Polaroid Project), and it certainly wasn't this fakey olde-timey expired look.

Want to shoot an electronic EF mount lens at a different aperture? No problem. Mount it on a Canon camera, film or digital, set it in aperture priority or manual, select the aperture you want, press and hold the DoF preview button to stop it down to that aperture, then remove the lens as you keep holding the preview button.

As the EF mount protocol has been reverse-engineered and the information is freely accessible, it is an embarassing failure not to include the necessary functionality in this very expensive camera here. This is something that can be handled by a simple 8-bit-Microcontroller as used by all these "Arduino" makers. Yes, obviously, the necessary circuitry, the electronic contacts and some kind of a power supply would need to be added, but this would make this contraption way more useful and not a device to reduce the value of very expensive instant film.

I though the same with respect to a Pentax 6x7 mount. The 645 format has the film width as the longest dimension which is only 56mm net, while the 6x7 has 70mm, easily covering the full Fuji Instax Square format. Lenses span a focal range from 35mm to 800mm plus TCs, so there is something in for everybody. The FOV of the 45mm on 61mm Fuji Instaxs equals 28mm on 135 film on the long edge, so reasonable wide angle perspective is covered, too, without the need to go fisheye (the 35mm).

All of the above adapters are easy to get.

But group 2. above requires a lens in the adapter; it looses 1 stop of light, and further multiplies the effective focal length of [your favorite] film SLR lens by 1.4.

Seems like a neat idea, unfortunately, it also seems like my iPhone combined with my Instax SP-3 produces higher quality prints on the same film. The iPhone + Instax printer combo is likely also more portable.

Gannon: I'd imagine the viewfinder here is really the biggest disappointment. Partly for lack of a focus aid, but mostly for showing a pretty heavy crop of what the film records. Still, it sounds like a very well-thought-out device with high build quality for the price. After all, it has some optics and mirrors, a shutter, etc., so it's probably a little harder to build than a 135-film SLR.

The real question is, "Does this out-resolve the OLED printing mechanism in the $200 Instax Sp-3?" Fuji says 800x800 dots are used, and claims 12lp/mm for the process, so the Sp-3 is getting substantially less than the full film resolution, about 29% of the equivalent pixel count (i.e., 2.2MP for the film vs. 0.64MP for the Sp-3). I would think that's a notable difference favoring the NONS over using a digital camera with the Sp-3... e24fc04721
