the kingdom

man, that was fucked. thanks for recommending that, ari. that was best when it was funny. the progressing horror made it a pretty straightforward thing. but when it was commenting on reality, like bondo and his operation, his love of the cadaver, of cutting people up, or the whole saga with the archives, that stuff was really terrific. leave it to that asshole von trier to end it with a failed abortion, could there be a more upsetting way to end anything? and he calls it a new beginning. that's a worldview.

also the whole commentary with mona; that stuff was appropriately eery, though really, we might do well to humanize the mentally handicapped, even if they're in a vegetative state. as soon as you affix the saliva to the chin, there's no sympathy, only horror. but yeah, there was marvelous stuff with helmer, the worst person in the world and his fanatical hatred of the danes, that was truly excellent.

man, ari i and are really excellent friends for him to have recommended that to me. that is when you're past all the boundaries.

i loved his concluding remarks, i think that's really excellent.
