I adore cringe comedy, but indeed it's not for everyone.

Like lots of people, I went from loving and devouring everything Gervais did to barely being able to tolerate him. The Office is brilliant. Extras may be even better. His podcast was the first podcast I ever listened to and was hilarious. And then…I'm not sure what happened. Maybe it was the notoriously mean-spirited…

I know, and I really appreciate that he directed a Chinese martial arts movie where the only white character is the villain. (Going into it, I just assumed Keanu would be the tai chi master and mentor to the lead character.) Buuuut he's still not very good in it, acting-wise.

Would you say the show gets better as it goes? I really liked the first two episodes, but these last two focusing on whiny, drippy, homely Albert have been woeful. I'm much more interested in Victoria navigating her role as queen, and can only hope Albert gets tossed off a horse or something soon.

You mean the Denzel who advised Will Smith that kissing another man on screen would ruin his career? Nah, fuck that guy.

This is relevant to me since I decided to watch two Keanu Reeves movies yesterday: John Wick (which I hadn't seen) and Man of Tai Chi. He was great in the first and pretty bad in the second, but for some reason I always enjoy seeing him on screen.

Max Landis always thinks the Max Landis version of every non-Max Landis movie would have been better. Max Landis.

To be fair, Duncan Jones isn't related to another filmmaker, and Joe Hill first submitted his work without telling anyone he's Stephen King's son. As for Max Brooks, I have no idea who he's related to, but hasn't he only written one successful book and then disappeared?

I think it's this particular writer's sentiment about the movie. I think it looks good, and who can resist Elizabeth Banks and Bryan Cranston?

Horned up? Gross…

Remember when Life of Pablo came out and flopped because of that whole Tidal nonsense? That was fun. Maybe Kanye can slink off into the shadows now and never return.

My friend made the prediction that this movie will end with Samara's video getting uploaded to YouTube, followed by a close up of the view counter skyrocketing. *smash cut to credits*

As a paranoid person who would like to live to be Betty White age, is there a good way to catch "undiagnosed heart conditions" before dying suddenly in your sleep? When I turned 30, I actually saw a cardiologist and got a heart ultrasound just because I'm neurotic and my parents both died of heart attacks.

I like how The AV Club pretends TV Club still exists.

I disagree, Spidey. Watch Dogs 2 is tons of fun, and there's so much to do that it's well worth a $60 price tag. The humor and characters can be a bit juvenile and annoying, but hey, aren't you a teenager?

"Things are generally terrible." Is it just me, or has The AV Club become that emo kid in class who wears black eyeliner and constantly mentions how awful life is all the time?

Agreed. This article is ridiculous, and another example of the AV Club's continued insistence that the entire goddamn world is ending now that Trump is President. I certainly don't like Trump or his immigration policies, but Earth is still spinning and I want to watch La La Land win some awards. We can still have joy…

AV Club: visit us for pointless reviews of half-watched movies 7 months after they're released!

I would be more than happy to watch this, but saying it's on the defunct Yahoo Screen and on Tumblr is like telling me I have to drive to the last remaining Blockbuster in North America to rent it on VHS. Not gonna happen.

I thought the episode had the exact opposite problem…why the heck did Victoria like Albert? He's rude, condescending, stiff, awkward, boring, and has a terrible mustache. She can do so much better.
