Amy felt like a really well-done 90-minute VH1 "Behind The Music", but after hearing Michael make an allegory to a "found footage" movie, I'd like to go back and see it with a fresh slate.
That was me... borrowing a phrase from Matt Singer.

I stand corrected. Sorry, Adam.

(Also, it's super-cool that the hosts of the show are frequent posters to the board)


I also don't want to turn this into a "my favorite movie didn't get posted..." reply, but I will (just for a moment). I was glad to see Trainwreck show up in Josh's list. I think it's a wonderful film. But I was sad to see Spy not crack any of the lists. It was a wonderful film that had, by far, the most laughs per minute in any film for me. Easily Paul Feig's best film since Bridesmaids.

And, Adam or Josh, did either of you manage to catch up with The Peanuts Movie? Unless something comes and blows my hair back, it's a film that will probably make my top 5 and easily my favorite animated movie of 2015, which is saying something considering Pixar released 2 movies this year. I found the film to be gentle and good-hearted and light. It truly captured the spirit of the comic strips I loved for so long.

Is it here that I can complain that no one on the show even mentioned Age of Ultron ? Not even as an honorable mention. These are wretched times we live in, where genius escapes the gaze of our better critics and goes unrecognized.

Does my top 70 count for anything?

Fie ! Repent of thy foul ways, heathen.

Seriously though, number one movie of the year.

Solid number 61 for me, and I love Avengers (I like AoU, but not by much). Did you make your case for it somewhere DH ? Would love to read it.

Sorry, I watched it in my pre-reviews era. I think I did participate in the discussion in the forum though...

Oh wait yeah, I started the thread.

I am thinking about writing an « In defense of AoU » piece before the Filmspots though.
