William and I finished Von Trier's "The Kingdom" today. The first two seasons from the 1990s plus the new third (and final) season were all on MUBI this month. Amazing and weird. Reading about it, I am reminded that there was an American tv remake of it in the early 2000s with Stephen King writing but was canceled after 1 season. I think I tried to watch one at the time but it failed to hook me - I think it was just too rational and missed the point of the absurd horror the original had.
