The only thing that would make me love that more would be if there was an HBO documentary about Alec Baldwin and James Toback trying to raise money to make a similar, but much shittier version of that Bertolucci movie.

So what's the deal with Wahlberg in this movie? Is he just a deadbeat dad? Is an he ex-con? The trailers make it seem like he's a freshly-released violent ex-prisoner and Will Ferrell is the straight-laced everyman. And that situation isn't a comedy. It's a fucking nightmare for the Ferrell character.
You're definitely tops for "Best Commenter With Whom To Have Weekly Conversations About PTA Films," Narrator.
Will Harris just seems like a good dude. Like, of all the people who write for this site, he seems like the one I'd most enjoy watching a movie with.
Also, John Teti's Six Feet Under reviews!
I'm so glad to see Bonney's interview with Nathan Fielder (which he suggested!) on this list. That thing was an instant classic. Long-awaited. Tense. Humane. It was practically an entire episode of Nathan For You in and of itself.
I definitely prefer Anchorman and Talladega Nights and Step Brothers, but The Other Guys has one of the funniest gags I've ever experienced in a theater, which is The Rock and Samuel L. Jackson jumping off a building to their deaths with basically fucking no explanation. They're apparently aiming for the bushes, but…
You're right that the ending is good enough with just the two of them looking at each other and driving in different directions, but I don't think I'd throw away that voiceover if only because he brings up the "I live my life a quarter of a mile at a time" thing during it, and that's my very favorite line from the…
It definitely is weird that the seventh installment of the Fast & Furious franchise would have one of the most affecting endings of the year, but that's just the way it was.
I only mentioned Vin Diesel because Nick Shager referred to him as "charisma-deficient," which I completely disagree with. He's totally committed to being totally serious in these movies and it's great.
Technically, The Rock implements the Rock Bottom in the movie before he's rocking the cast, but I absolutely love your enthusiasm.
Furious 7. Goddamn, that movie was straight up assaulted by Nick Schager in the best-of-2015 ballots feature. But it will end up being easily the movie I rewatch the most amount of times from this past year. Why? The laughable emphasis on "family"? The ludicrous stunts? Vin Diesel? Yes. All of that. That shit makes…
I mean, it's possible. But it would require nearly four or five hours to drive there, and another four or five to drive back. With a movie that's longer than three hours squeezed in between.
You are one of two people who (as of this moment) have responded to this so far, and both of you hated the show (and you obviously really fucking hated it), so I don't know what to say except that I actually did like it and that I'm not angry at anyone who didn't, but I'm not sure how much any further discussion will…
I think I'm at the point where Sunny is so comfortably resting at my all-time #1 spot that it's just completely graduated off my year-end lists.
Everything about this movie seems fucking perfect to me except for the fact that Alejandro González Iñárritu co-wrote/directed it. I thought Birdman was awful, but I still love Leo/Tom Hardy/Lubezki/survival action-adventure film violence enough to see this in a theater.
No 70mm screenings where I am, but I can't wait for the first available showing. This review makes it sound like Tarantino's Dogville. I don't know, that sounds pretty good to me.
Flesh And Bone. It wasn't what I thought it would be or as good as I had hoped it would be, but it was hammier than I could have possibly imagined. I will rewatch it many times.
I hope they release the third season and series finale of Delocated on DVD at some point.
For TV for me this year, there was Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp, and then there was everything else.
