    The sound that the strange whirling centerpiece thing in the recurring room still chills me. Honestly, The House That Jack Built almost feels like it comes from a completely different, darker series. And I don't mean that as a criticism.

    I have gotten a solid 75% of the way through the first draft of my script on The House That Jack Built, and Lars Von Trier's career as a whole. It is just about as long as the cults video already. All for a movie which I despise, yet want to give an honest analysis. Strap in.

    Trying to figure out if its a bad sign for me as a video essayist where my script for my video on The House That Jack Built may be just about as long as the movie itself, or even longer. In my defense, to truly dive into that film, I had to also get into Lars' entire career.

    I’ve mentioned before I’m working on a video on The House That Jack Built and my distaste for it and Lars as a person, while trying to be honest about his legacy and how he has very much moved me before… I worry I’m saying “Lars Von Trier is a land of contrasts” BUT HE KINDA IS

    The House That Jack Built would be last but it at least has some imagery I can say is fascinating. The Idiots didn’t really have that, granted that’s on purpose, but also like…when you don’t like a movie you gotta look at everything, and I found more visually interesting in Jack

    This one will probably be a bit contentious, but hear me out first. That '60s/'70s TV show *The Avengers*. The time with John Steed and Emma Peel, specifically. (I haven't watched enough of the pre-Peel episodes to form an opinion, and the post-Peel episodes were horrible in this regard with Tara King spending most of each episode unconscious or imprisoned.) Now you have to filter for the times if you want to appreciate the status of women in The Avengers. Yes, Emma Peel was a sex magnet…
