Europa (1991)
Movie #1,167 • Ranking Lars von Trier #1
Europa is a stunning work of art, both from a technical perspective as well as an emotional and thematic one. The final picture in his Europa trilogy, this film easily (and immediately) ranks among his very best works. Exploring a post-war Germany through the lens of an idealistic American, Leopold Kessler (played by Jean-Marc Barr), who just wants to "show some kindness" to the people in the wake of Nazism. His naivety borders on the absurd and he's used as a pawn by almost every other party to achieve some goal, all of which run in stark contrast to his own childlike intentions. Anchored by an unusual and unsettling second person narration (with the legend Max von Sydow as The Narrator), the use of hypnotic voice is different and effective. It can be seen as an inner monologue but not quite of this man's volition, like a driving voice against freewill.
The most jarring and experimental visual technique deployed is Lars von Trier's juxtaposition of black and white with bursts of color, typically at the same time and occasionally with the aide of back projections, which characters sometimes interact with as if they're occupying the same space. The result is a surreal and magnificent delight, inventive and blissful yet never grating. It's masterful and unlike anything I've ever seen before. I found myself deeply pondering the meaning or intentions behind these choices. Perhaps color is meant to represent truth or fear or both. But in all honesty, the point — whatever it may be — seems far less important than the simple and tactile wonder it invokes.
On some level this might be seen as sympathetic towards Nazism, but that strikes me as reductive. This is far more complicated than any single "good vs. bad" reading. Years later of course, LVT would land in hot water for his 2011 Cannes presser "I'm a Nazi" comments, so seeing this in retrospect it would seem like there might be even more to it, but I'll always keep striving against any easy narrative because it plainly feels like that's what the art is beckoning we do.
This is is a film about the individual's plight in the face of giant, impenetrable forces, who will stop at nothing from seeing the individual as nothing more than a pawn regardless of what side of the fence they operate from. How even a man with the purest of heart never has any agency and will always turn towards destruction in the end. How on each descending rung of the ladder we find an exponentially increasing need for normalcy, as those on the top — whose lives more or less remain unchanged — engage in psychotic behavior on whims sprung from greed and a fear of "the other," however real or imagined.
We follow Leopold's saga as an apprentice sleeping car conductor on the Zentropa company's Frankfurt to Munich line. The concept of the unending train loop is in easy metaphor on so many levels: from the circuitous nature of the human urge to move forward and away, to the fascist rallying cry, itself the kind of dangerous lie that leads to societal collapse in and around the infrastructure. The film is littered with a cavalcade of tremendous performances — many of LVT's usual suspects, like Udo Kier and Ernst-Hugo Järegård, among others — all of which seem to embody a trope or symbolic personality type (we have the femme fatale, the shameful patriarch, etc.). Lars makes a cameo himself, comically and perfectly cast as simply "Jew" — a provocateur till the bitter end.
When Leo is pushed past the brink of all sensibility, he commits an atrocious act: the heinous murder of dozens of innocents, detonating a bomb on the train as it goes over a bridge, himself among the many victims. The Narrator's booming voice commands that in ten seconds he will drown. But it takes a lot longer than that to die from drowning. So the recitation is slow and painful. None of this misery happens or happened in an instance. The pawns are almost always the ones who push the misery in gears. But what Europa reveals is how little control they ever really had.
SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Summary: For @alexakeyloveloki. Your father is the head of one of the most powerful crime families in Boston but he’s protected you from that life. In your quiet home outside the city, you’ve been cared for and protected. When the desires of a more powerful man with the will to dominate bursts into your life, all your illusions are shattered as he comes to claim what is his.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“There she is,” you heard her whisper.
Your eyes felt heavy when you slit them open. Your vision was blurry, and your mouth was dry. You tried to sit up and that’s when sharp pain reminded you of what happened.
“Stop,” Yelena said gently. “You’ll reopen your wound if you’re not careful.”
The concern in her hazel eyes reminded you of what happened. Blurry memories flashed in your mind of being in Hansen’s house. Neal. Dyson’s friends. Jensen. Dyson. Steve…
“Steve,” you asked, panicked. Your husband took a bullet for you. Well, he took the brunt of it.
Yelena lifted a glass of water from the bedside table. You were in the bedroom you shared with Steve. But you didn’t see anyone but Yelena there.
“He’s going to be okay,” she told you with a smile, holding the glass so you could take a sip.
“He was shot.” Your voice sounded groggy.
“So were you,” she pointed out.
It hurt like hell. You lifted a hand to your shoulder, feeling the dressing under the nightgown you wore.
“Fucking hurts,” you mumbled. “Hansen must be so happy... Bastard.”
That had Yelena smiling. “That’s your exit wound. It could have been a lot worse. It was a .45 caliber bullet. If it had just hit you, it would have done a lot of damage.”
That just meant it did a lot of damage to Steve.
“Did Hansen survive?” You were really hoping he didn’t.
Yelena sighed. “I’m not sure. When he shot you and Steve, it sent everyone into a panic. Hansen’s men faced off against Clay and Jensen so he could slip out, but he was hit. Word on the street is that Hansen’s dead, but I don’t believe it.”
“Where’s Dyson?” you asked.
“Waiting for the doctor to finish with Steve,” she told you. “He’s fretting over both of you like a mother hen.”
You blew out an exhale. “Is Steve really going to be okay?”
Her smile faded. “I think so. We’ll know soon enough. You were very lucky. The bullet barely missed your lung. You’ll have a scar, but you will recover.”
“Will Steve recover?” Guilt clouded your mind, blocking out everything else. “It was my fault he got shot.”
What if Steve died? What if it impacted the rest of his life? Would he forgive you?
“Try not to worry,” she told you. “The doctor is very good. He took very good care of you.”
“Me?” Again, you tried to sit up, but Yelena urged you to be still. The stabbing pain in your shoulder was breathtaking. “Why did he take care of me first? He should have taken care of Steve. He should have—”
“Steve wouldn’t have it,” Yelena explained. “He was only worried about you.”
And it was your fault you both got shot. Tears came on then.
“Were your friends okay?” You had to ask. “Jensen?”
“They’re okay,” she assured you.
“What about Clint?” you asked, panicking as you remembered more. “Have we heard from him?”
“Clint’s okay,” a familiar voice said from the doorway of your bedroom. Clint looked beat up, but he made it. “Nat! She’s awake.”
Nat scrambled into the bedroom, dashing to your bed. She might have hugged you if Yelena hadn’t caught her.
“She has to be careful with the stitches,” Yelena said gently.
Nat’s green eyes were glassy with tears. “I can’t believe you got shot.”
She hugged you so carefully.
“I can’t either,” you told her. “Where’s Scott?”
“Scott went to pick up Yelena’s things,” Clint said from where he stood at the foot of your bed. “He’s good.”
That meant Yelena was moving back into your home. Good.
“He’s not alone, is he?” You had to know.
Clint shook his head. "He’s got a few of our guys watching his back.”
With Nat’s help, Yelena used pillows to prop you up in the bed. The movements hurt but you could handle it. Your gaze took in all their worried faces. All you could think about was Steve.
“Clint!” Someone, you thought it was Dyson, called from down the hall.
Clint hurried off and intuition had your stomach dropping.
“When will we know about Steve?” you asked, hoping maybe Nat knew something.
You saw your own worry reflected in her green eyes. She smiled but it didn’t reach those eyes.
“Don’t worry about that right now,” Nat said. “You need to rest.”
No, you needed to know how your husband was.
They stayed with you, talking quietly. Clint had been lucky in that a couple of Dyson’s friends showed up to help him when he was surrounded by Barnes’ men. There had been a massive shootout before the cops showed up, giving Clint the chance he needed to get out of there.
Nat chatted on excitedly, retelling Clint’s tale. Groggy as your mind was from being put under, it took you a minute to realize Nat hadn’t said a thing about Bruce Banner. You had been about to ask about Banner, but you caught yourself, thinking better of it. Nat was still in a fragile place. Maybe nothing happened. Maybe something did. It wasn’t in her best interest to even think about Banner right now.
Clint returned a few minutes later, his expression changed. You thought you could read Clint somewhat but right now? It looked like one hell of a poker face.
Dyson followed him in, his gaze on you. So much emotion swirled in his eyes as he approached your bedside and Nat let him have her seat at your side. Dyson leaned forward to press a kiss to your forehead, his eyes were glassy, red.
Something was wrong. It sent a spike of panic through your heart.
“I’m so glad you’re alright,” Dyson said with such emotion in his voice. “You shaved a few years off this old man’s life.”
You tried to smile.
Dyson took your hand carefully in his. “I love you too, but don’t you ever do something like that again. I’m supposed to take a bullet for you, not the other way around.”
You’d expected him to say something like that. If you’d been the only one shot, you’d have been fine. It would have been worth it. Aside from the bruises on his face from his none-too-gentle handling from Hansen and Neal, Dyson looked beaten up but mostly unharmed. Not shot.
The problem was your efforts had prompted Steve to protect you.
“Hey, Nat,” Clint said carefully. “Why don’t you get in bed? It’s late and you’ve had a rough day. Come on.”
Oh no. Your heart began to ache as you nodded at Nat, told her you’d be alright. Clint led her out of your bedroom. In the doorway, he paused. The poignant look he cut you before walking away had fear rioting in your chest.
Fear had even crept into Yelena’s expression.
“Dyson,” you whispered. “What is it? What’s wrong?”
Dyson blew out an exhale, seemed to be working up the courage to say what he came to say.
“Tell me.” Desperation bled on your tone. “How is Steve?”
Dyson sighed. “The surgery went well,” he said slowly. “Doc was able to deal with most of the damage. But Steve… bled a lot. He lost a lot of blood.”
Oh my God. Panic had you trying to get out of bed. You needed to see him. Now.
“Is he alive?” you asked tearfully, your breath coming fast.
Dyson nodded, his gaze fixed on you. “He’s alive… But he’s in a coma right now.”
It took both Dyson and Yelena to keep you in bed, the pain be damned. The pain felt distant, not nearly as bad as the ache in your heart. The guilt…
“He’s strong,” Dyson leaned closer as he held you there. “He’s young. Doc says he might snap out of it any time.”
Might wasn’t good enough. Might wasn’t nearly good enough.
Again, you scrambled on the bed and again, they got a grip on you. That’s when the tears came on.
“Please,” you begged. “I have to see him. I have to talk to him. If I—”
“You will,” Yelena assured you. “But not right now.”
“Yes, right now!” you yelled.
Your gaze moved to Dyson just in time to see the syringe in his other hand. Regret stained his expression as he slid the needle into your upper arm, administering its contents into your bloodstream. The sedative had the world slipping away from you by the second as you fought…
***
It was so quiet in Luca’s kitchen. Yelena sat at that small wooden table next to Dyson, so tired it was hard to keep her eyes open. Dyson hadn’t really touched the cup of black coffee Luca put in front of him. Well, Scott hadn’t touched his either. Clint, like her, had waved it away. He’d been the last to join them in the quiet of the kitchen.
It wasn’t lost on her that usually, they were all in good spirits here. Usually, they told tall tales about life in the Rogers’ family, or they had a poker game going. And now?
Now it felt like their entire world had been upended.
Only Luca was still standing, leaning against the counter with his beefy arms folded across his chest and his gaze on the floor.
“How is Nat?” Yelena had to ask, catching Clint’s gaze.
Clint shook his head. “No damn good. She’s still having nightmares about Banner and then all this shit happened.”
“Does she know Banner is dead?” Yelena asked.
“No,” Clint said. “Not a good time. She’s already terrified from what happened tonight.”
Yelena respected his decision.
“She asleep?” Dyson asked.
Clint nodded. “I got her to take a Valium. At least she’ll sleep for a little while.”
Yelena blew out an exhale. You were a different story. And she wasn’t looking forward to when the sedative wore off. She knew you were scared and blaming yourself for what happened.
“I’m just going to go ahead and say it,” Luca said. “Barnes has been handing us our asses since the boss got married and we’re damned lucky that today didn’t go a hell of a lot worse. Hansen got his hands on Dyson. Mrs. Rogers got shot and the boss…”
Dyson nodded silently where he sat.
“Barnes has been one step ahead of us the entire fucking time and Steve?” Luca scrubbed a hand over his face. “Steve was a force to be reckoned with before he got married.”
Wait. What?
“Please tell me you’re not blaming Mrs. Rogers for all this,” Yelena pleaded, more than ready to defend you.
“Not her fault… directly,” Luca explained. “She got in his head. But he has to have better control than that when it comes to the business. He can’t allow anything to get him so turned around that he starts making bad decisions. And he’s made nothing but bad decisions since he got married.”
“It was more than that,” Dyson finally spoke up. “He didn’t marry her until after her father died. And while her father was alive, he was Steve’s mentor. He guided him, helped him think things through when it came to leading the families.”
Dyson rose from his chair and walked around the table to get to the fridge, pulling out a beer.
“Barnes saw through it,” Dyson went on. “Barnes is a sharp one, always was. He didn’t let the old boss get cold in his grave before he started pushing buttons.”
“Where does that leave us?” Luca asked. “There’s blood in the water. Barnes ain’t backing off now.”
“No, he’s not,” Dyson replied.
“And Steve’s father-in-law is gone,” Luca went on. “If having a mentor is the only way he was going to pull this off, we’re fucked.”
Dyson paused, putting his beer on the table, unopened. Yelena knew that look on his face. He’d thought of something.
“Maybe we’re not,” he said as thoughts ran through his head. She could almost see them.
“What?” Luca threw his hands up. “The old man is dead.”
“But he’s not entirely gone,” Dyson said, meeting Yelena’s gaze. And it was at that moment that she knew where this was going.
Luca looked lost. “What are you saying?”
“We have his kid,” Dyson said it out loud. “We have his daughter. She’s as sharp as her father ever was.”
Scott’s eyes lit up, catching on. He nodded.
“Hey,” Luca drew their attention to him. “Maybe you’re right. She might even be sharper than her old man. But she can’t take over. No family is going to accept her lead. You know that.”
“I do know that,” Dyson said.
“Steve would never accept that either,” Luca went on.
“Right now Steve can’t give us his opinion,” Dyson pointed out. “He’s in a comma. God willing, he’ll come out of it. But no one outside the family can know about his condition. Barnes will finish us if he finds out.”
That had everyone pausing.
“What are you saying?” Clint asked, looking very invested in the discussion now.
“Everyone outside this room, and Nat, have to believe that Steve is still holding the reins,” Dyson told them gravely. “And until he’s awake, someone has to call the shots.”
“No.” Luca shook his head. “She’s got a good head on her shoulders but leading a mob family? Leading five mob families?”
“She was right about Neal, wasn’t she?” Dyson stressed. “She’s got her old man’s instincts. You’ve said it yourself. We can give her the circumstances. She doesn’t have to know the business. We do. We lay it all out for her and she makes the calls.”
“If we’re doing all that,” Luca said, “why don’t me and you make the calls?”
“If you or me were qualified to lead a family, we wouldn’t be here,” Dyson said. “But you’re a cook and I’m an enforcer. But her?” Dyson pointed upstairs. “She’s our best shot at this. She’s how we pull this off.”
“How do we know she’ll want to do it?” Clint threw in. “That’s a huge responsibility.”
“She hasn’t backed down from anything yet, has she?” Scott asked.
Yelena smiled at him. Scott was right.
“She’ll do it.” Yelena knew she would. “She feels responsible for Steve’s injury. She’ll do anything she can to help for that reason.”
“She will,” Dyson told them. ”If Steve doesn’t wake up, the Rogers family is done for. If and when he does wake up, we’ll reassess then.”
“Word will get out that Steve was shot,” Luca pointed out. “That she was shot. Hansen and his men might have survived.”
Dyson shook his head. “If Hansen’s alive, and I doubt it, him and his men are long gone. They’ve got bigger problems. Barnes will be hunting them for betraying his family.”
Yelena knew that was true.
“You said it yourself,” Luca said. “Barnes is sharp. He’s going to figure it out.”
“We’ll see,” Dyson said.
“You really think she can do this?” Luca asked. “If she really does have her father’s instincts, it could be bad news for Barnes. Her father was a ruthless bastard.”
Dyson chuckled. “She has them instincts. And no offense,” he waved to Yelena, “but she’s a woman. Those instincts and a woman’s intuition? Barnes might be the one fucked.”
Clint shook his head with a laugh. “Holy shit.”
Dyson’s gaze met Yelena’s. “Exactly right.”
***
The low din of voice was the first thing you noticed when you woke up the next morning. Turning on the TV, you didn’t immediately know where your phone was, you saw it was just after 11 AM.
Fuck. I’ve been out that long?
As quietly as you could manage, you sat up, wincing at the pain. It hurt ten times worse today and pulling back your nightgown to see the dressing, you saw that you’d bled through it.
You’d live.
You had to get to Steve.
It was slow going in making yourself at least presentable. You took a sink bath because you knew you probably should get the dressing over your wound wet. You pulled on jeans and one of Steve’s big sweaters because a bra was out of the question at the moment. Sliding on flats, you decided you were as good as you were going to get today.
The voices continued and you slid out of your room and made your way in that direction. Was it Nat?
Was it Steve?
Dyson had told you Steve was in a coma. Was he awake now? Could you see him?
Was he dead?
Nat’s bedroom was quiet, so you passed it. The talking was coming from a few doors down, one of the guest rooms. The door was slightly open, and you peeked in. You saw Yelena, Clint, and Jensen off to one side of the room. You moved to see the bed, your heart leaping in hope that it was Steve, and he was awake.
It wasn’t Steve. No, in the center of that bed was a young woman, asleep and curled up on her side. She looked so small with the covers pulled up over her shoulder. She looked so familiar.
Then you remembered that small purple purse in Hansen’s house, randomly lying on his sofa. It occurred to you why she looked familiar.
“She’s going to have to understand,” Clint said in a low voice. “We can’t go to the police.”
“I understand that,” Yelena said. “But we also can’t just throw her back out into the world. Not with what he did to her. She needs help and protection.”
Jensen stood listening, his hands on his slim waist. Clint’s hair was spiked over his head and the shadows behind his eyes led her to believe that he’d probably been up all night.
Yelena stood next to the bed, a protective stance. It confirmed your suspicions about what you were seeing. It was the girl from the donut shop. She’d been Hansen’s prisoner and you had some idea of what had happened to her. You also couldn’t help but feel that if anything had happened to Steve, they wouldn’t be dealing with this.
You chose that moment to walk in, to make your presence known. Yelena looked alarmed when she spotted you.
“What are you doing up?” she asked, dashing to your side. “You should be resting right now.”
You shook your head, shrugged off her careful hands. She was probably right but you couldn’t truly rest if you tried. There was way too much going on.
“It’s the girl from the donut shop.” It wasn’t a question. “When did you find her?”
“Dyson sent me back to Hansen’s this morning to do a sweep of the house,” Jensen explained. “To make sure there’s nothing there to implicate your family.”
“Thank you,” you told him. “Our doctor needs to see her.”
Yelena nodded. “He’ll be back in a little while. He—”
“He didn’t stay with my husband?” you asked, trying to keep calm.
“He went back to get his things,” Clint said with his hands held up in front of him. “He’ll be staying with us for a while. Until Steve wakes up.”
You took a deep breath, trying not to let panic take over. Steve was still in a comma then.
You nodded. “Once he’s seen Steve, I want him to take care of her. Yelena’s right. Unless something changed we don’t know if Hansen’s dead or alive. We need to keep her safe.”
“Yes, ma’am,” Clint nodded.
“She probably shouldn’t stay here,” Clint said carefully. “For her own well-being.”
“Once we know she’s physically okay, we’ll come up with a solution,” you told them. “I also want a psychologist brought in to see her.”
“We'll make it happen,” Yelena told you, exchanging a glass with Clint.
Yelena knew more than you what that poor woman had been through. The woman would need that type of support and understanding.
“Jesus, Mary, and Joseph,” Dyson muttered from behind you as he marched in. “Why are you out of bed?”
He came to a stop right in front of you, his gaze assessing.
“Because it beats just laying there worried about my husband and thinking ‘oh, shit, my shoulder hurts,’” you told him. “Can I see my husband now?”
After a moment, Dyson nodded. “Come on.”
Dyson led you to another guestroom in another hallway. It was quiet in the room and your husband lay in the middle of the bed. He was too still, too pale. He almost never slept on his back, so it was odd to see him like that. Clusters of medical monitors were positioned all around the bed, pushing your anxiety up higher than it already was.
You moved to his bedside, sitting carefully at his side. You barely noticed the pain in your shoulder in that moment as you took his hand in yours. It was warm, but it was too still. Your heart ached in your chest to look at him lying there.
Your fault. This was all your fault.
You knew Dyson was quietly waiting behind you. You didn’t care. You let the tears come, sobbing over your husband as a hundred nightmare scenarios flashed in your mind. What if you lost him? What if he awoke but he was broken, not the same. He’d hate you and that hate would flash in his blue eyes every time he looked at you.
You didn’t realize Dyson had walked over to the bed at first. He stood on the other side, looking as brokenhearted as you felt. Steve was like a son to him.
“I need you to know that if anything happens to Steve,” Dyson said slowly, “I won’t let anyone hurt you. I won’t let Barnes or Hansen get to you. I swear.”
You shook your head. Dyson was a blur on the other side of your tears. “If anything happens to Steve, I won’t care what happens to me, Dyson. It won’t matter.”
A single tear slid down one cheek as he thought about what you said. “Somewhere in all of this, you really fell in love with him, didn’t you?”
Swiping at your eyes with your fingers you nodded. It was a raw truth, and you couldn’t deny it.
“You can talk to him,” Dyson said gently. “Doc said that often when patients are in… a state like this… they can hear you. Might not be able to answer but…”
Your tears dotted the back of Steve’s hand, held in your own. They just kept coming and the crack in your heart got longer and longer until it felt like the world would come apart.
“What do you want him to know?” Dyson’s tone was encouraging.
“I love you,” you said to your husband through your tears. “I’d give anything to take this back. Anything. It’s my fault you got hurt. I’m so… sorry…”
This time as you sobbed, Dyson sat behind you, wrapping his arms around you like he could hold you together.
“Shhhh,” he whispered as he held you. “It wasn’t your fault.”
“It was,” you told him miserably. “I should have done something different. I should have…”
“You were so brave,” Dyson said quietly. “I’ve worked with soldiers who didn't have half of your bravery. Do you know that?”
You shook your head, holding on to Steve’s hand.
“Dyson,” you said as you were trying to get the tears to stop, “he’s in danger. Not just the injuries… What will Barnes do when he finds out? What if Hansen is still alive and he finds out? We have to put a guard around the house. It’s bad enough that he’s like this. But someone… could try to come and finish him off.”
“We were talking about last night,” Dyson said slowly. “And you’re right. We have to safeguard Steve and this family.”
“What are we going to do?” you asked.
“We’re going to convince the outside world that Steve is fine,” Dyson explained. “That’s he’s still holding the reins in this family. That he’s still the head of all the families.”
It sounded like a good idea on the surface, but you hit a dead end in your thoughts pretty quickly. “Even if we could convince everyone that Steve’s fine and still leading the families, he’s in a comma. He’s not even conscious. He can’t make decisions like this. What’s your plan for that?”
“That’s where I need your help,” he said.
You couldn’t have heard that correctly. Shifting on the bed so you could meet his gaze over your shoulder, you stared Dyson down.
“How can I help?”
“I need your instincts,” Dyson said, looking you in the eye. “You were right about Neal. You were right about everything. Hansen pulled the stunt he did, and you just ran right out to challenge him over my sorry ass.”
He thought you could help run the Rogers family? All the families?
“You have strong instincts, your father's instincts, and you're brave,” he went on.
“Maybe I’m just fucking crazy,” you muttered.
“All I’m asking you to do is try,” he said patiently. “After all this, Steve is going to be expected to strike back. He’s going to be expected to hit Barnes hard, to end this rebellion once and for fucking all.”
Dyson was right.
“Everyone expects Steve to be looking for some payback,” Dyson went on. “Don’t you want a little payback for all this?”
That little offer caught your attention. Did you want to make Barnes and Hansen pay? Yes, you did. With the help of Neal and Banner, Barnes had hit Steve’s family hard in so many ways. Consequences you'd faced. Yelena had faced. And Nat? She’d suffered the most.
And what Hansen likely did to that poor girl?
Payback? Oh yes. You wanted a lot of fucking payback.
You glanced at your husband, your heart echoing his words to you from yesterday. Come back to me.
Steve would come back to you. You wouldn’t accept anything less. You wouldn’t let his family fall.
Returning your gaze to Dyson, you lifted your chin. “Let’s do this. I want Barnes to fucking suffer. I want to hit him so fucking hard no one else will ever dare challenge my husband, my family, again.”
Dyson smiled.

Question: Enjoy your whiskey?
Jared: Uh, not yet. Thank you for asking. Canadian Club? Yeah, I've had it before, thank you so much it was exciting. She gifted us a, like, seven gallon bottle of Canadian Club yesterday. We have not tried it just yet, but I think I remember what it tastes like -
Jensen: [whispers into mic] I drank it last night.
Jared: [fake outrage] You what?!
Question: That is why he didn't sing last night, y'all. Sorry.
Jensen: Yeah, I was in the business end of a Canadian - [Jared makes A Face] bottle of whiskey.
Jared: You paused at the wrong time!
Jensen: I did.
Jared: You said, I was at the business end of a Canadian ... [rushed and emphatic] bottle of whiskey!
Jensen: [???]
Jared: Grammar is important! Yes, of course.
Question: My question is, it's more for Jensen, but feel free to answer, Jared. Of all the music that has been released that you've been a part of, Radio Company, any collabs you've done? Do you have a favorite song of yours?
Jared: That's yours.
Jensen: Favorite song of mine?
Question: That you sang, Louden Swain, Jason Manns, Radio Company, just Steve Carlson -
Jensen: Oh, oh, oh. Uh ... I dunno.
Audience member: Angeles!
Jensen: Yeah, I like Angeles because I think that was probably the first time that I, like put myself out there [Jared nods] in that way, which was, y'know, a little scary, but I had some good, I had some good encouragement from some good friends to do so. So I'd say that one kind of holds a special place for me.
Jared: I remember that day vividly.
Jensen: When we - on set?
Jared: I remember that day vividly.
Jensen: 'Cause I did that on set.
Jared: On set, same place we did our, uh, voice over, the sound truck.
Jensen: Don Painchaud who was our sound mixer on set for all 15 seasons had a soundproof truck that we would go and do our voice over recordings while we were filming. So we'd be on set and hen we'd take a break and then he and I would hop in there and do voice over work for an episode that we had previously filmed. And I had asked him, I was like, hey - he is also an avid collector of like vintage microphones. And I said, hey I got a buddy coming up here, we're looking to lay down some vocal tracks for a song. Could we do that in the truck? And he's like, oh, yes! And he's like I'm gonna go home this weekend and I'm gonna get a couple of my mics like [mic names] or whatever, some fancy, like vintage vocal recording mic. And he brought it in and he set it up and we actually did it while we were - while I was filming. And so yeah.
Jared: Do you remember who filmed behind the scenes inside the truck?
Jensen: You.
Jared: Yep!
Jensen: [laughs] Yeah, there's some shots from the -
Jared: Inside of it.
Jensen: music video where, yeah, Jared's actually got the camera and he's like [mimes panning a camera] doing this, gettin Steve and I.
Jared: And the inside of a sound truck that's basically the back of a U-Haul, with all the little -
Jensen: Like not much bigger than this drum set. You can't fit a whole lot of things in there.
Jared: And also, if you go like this [inhales], it picks it up. It picks up everything.
Jensen: You have to be completely silent.
Jared: So I'm trying to do cool shit, but my keys are jangling in my pocket and he's like gotta go again. And I'm like sorry, like throwing keys down.
Jensen: Yeah, Jared is effectively a moose in a china shop.
Jared: I would not get hired as a ninja. Though I like to pretend I would be. [Jensen laughs] That was a great day, yeah. Thank you for your question and thank you for the Canadian Club -
Jensen: It was delicious.
Jared: I hope that there's some left that I can try.

I feel the need to pin this cause I’ve always been notorious for people loving me when they first meet me, and then finding out that my political views are not extremely liberal. So here’s all the reasons you will hate me once you get to know me. Or not. I honestly don’t care I’m just sick of the ‘You aren’t who I made you out be in my head!’ conversations.
So my unpopular opinions in no order-
1. They/them is something that’s being encouraged by big brother to see yourself as non or less human.
2. DID isn’t real and you just disassociate a specific way. I look like I’ve been drugged cause I fall down ‘inside’ myself like a well and have no reaction time and can barely speak. I’m like a sloth. You pretend to be a anime character. It’s just coping.
3. The concept of trans genocide is fear mongering by big brother and means to keep boundaries between social groups.
4. To build off 3, the push to medically transition underage children is a move by big pharmaceutical companies to create a permanent customer. Because whether you decide to stay transitioned or de transition, you’re going to be on medication for the rest of your life whether you like it or not. There’s also the whole issue with child exploitation. You’ll be judgmental against Dance Moms, but you won’t say anything about a mom who transitioned her child when they were two years old and made them a social media star.
5. Trans men and women who have been charged with a crime belong in LGBT prison wings. Because we have created a culture where male rapists can put on its dress and be rewarded with a permanent stay in the hen house where they can victimize more women and the system will just cry transphobia and call the victims liars. You got a problem with that? I have never seen a trans man pushing to get put in men’s prison. I wonder why… 😐
6. Blair White is queen.
7. I will fight Henry Cavill on sight. I don’t give a shit how bad you want motorboat him. He’s a fucking pedophile.
8. Same goes for David Bowie. When I get to the afterlife I’m gonna make him wish he could die again. Ask me if you want my full on sight list. 😂
9. I stand with Palestine. Yes I think Islam is a horrible religion that is anti woman. I still don’t think kids should die for the grievances of adults and I think it’s fucked up Israel is doing the same shit Nazis did to them and expect us to nod and smile!
10. Qu**r is just as much of a slur as f*g*t or n*gg*r. I don’t use it and if you do I will block you no questions asked. Say gay! Say lesbian! Say��bisexual! 😱
11. Butch women are valid as fuck and I adore y’all . They aren’t trans men, fuck your lesbian phobia.
12. To build off 11, the new LGBT movement has been infected by woke homophobia and the new trans movement is nothing but conversion therapy in a mask.
13 . Radical feminists are women’s last hope.
14. Marvel movies always sucked, we were just kids and ate up the pretty colors.
15. Dune is a white male savior story.
16. Your fave is not autistic, trans, gay or whatever. You just need validation cause you have no confidence.
17. The Boys should have never cast Jensen Ackles and the Supernatural fandom needs psychological help.
18. Too many of y’all try to primp and posture as the gods of your fandom and yes I say that as someone who did the same and stepped away when I realized how cringe I was. Lording over autistic adults and actual children is pathetic. Get therapy and a real hobby.
19. While gender neutral fanfiction has its place. The trend that all fanfiction needs to be gender neutral is literally killing the creativity and frankly the spice to fanfiction. I hate this trend where piece of media needs to be sterilized so it can be consumed by anyone, even people just passing by. It goes against the concept of creating at its core. Sometimes things are made for specific groups. Sometimes it’s made just for you. The things you create do not need to be sanitized to the point there’s no substance, just a hollow consumption. Think of it this way. Would you rather have a hot pizza of your preference or would you prefer to just drink a bowl of water because someone on the other side of the world might not like pizza?
20. The WWE Divas belt was iconic. I get the whole take women wrestlers seriously movement and I agree! But god damn it, it’s a Bratz belt!!! Gimme!!!!!
21. I fucking HATE koalas. They literally only exist because humans have dumped millions of dollars and keeping them alive. If natural selection were allowed to take his course, they would’ve died off 100 years ago. The food they consume has so little nutrition that they have evolved to have the smallest brain to cranium capacity of any animal to create a built in helmet!! Why? Cause they are so stupid they literally fall out of trees and drop their infants!!! They shit on their young and have permanent diarrhea due to the 0 nutrition thing. They carry chlamydia. They’re so fucking stupid they can’t fuck and have to be artificially inseminated to continue the population. If I couldn’t get laid on my own, the government would not drop millions of dollars into making sure I do!! So why did koalas get it? Literally a waste of resources that could be going to feed thousands of hungry children and instead we’re keeping a fucking retarded (I’m on the spectrum fuck you) animal alive who should have gone extinct hundreds of years ago cause it’s supposedly ‘cute’!! God! I hate koalas!

Medea (1988)
Movie #1,042 • Ranking Lars von Trier #14
[Ed. Note: This series began as a video project where I examined all the LVT early work I could find + select short films, as well as the #15 film on the countdown, 1987's Epidemic — check all these posts out right here.]
The big "Well, that just happened" moment in this is spoiled in the title card of Medea (and on the movie poster), Lars von Trier's 1988 TV adaptation of the Euripides play (as much as anything emanating from 431 BC can be "spoiled"): we see two figures hanging from a tree built out of the "D" in the text. She hangs her two children is what I'm trying to say. Medea is a bad bitch, the epitome of the "a woman, scorned" motif blasted to the nth degree. It doesn't get much darker than filicide, folks. At 76 minutes long and with its Danish television budget, it would certainly seem like minor LVT on the surface. But there are some truly wonderful moments and lovely shots. Factor in that it's impossible to find a high-quality version of this media, it's even more amazing that it's still so striking. I don't think this is going to top anyone's filmography rankings, but it's definitely worth your time.
Longtime collaborator Udo Kier joins Kirsten Olesen in the title role and this dark material is right in LVT's wheelhouse. These deep and tragic ideas — of men and women, mother and children — are the perfect fodder for his bleak and slanted perspective. His genius really lies in subtle moments, like focusing on the skinned knee of one of the hanging boys after we've seen Medea tenderly care for her son's booboo before, well, you know.
Nobody's gonna be clamoring that Lars von Trier is necessarily an enemy of the patriarchy, but with Medea he's at least offered some perspective on that front. As with the oft-misunderstood, there's rarely an easy answer.
SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I'll be counting down all of Lars Von Trier's movies right here at @cinemacentral666 every Thursday through September 2023

Part IV
“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?”
“DON'T YA’ BE YELLING AT ME, MR. MAN, EVEN IF THIS IS YOUR FUCKING HOUSE…”
“I gotta go,” tossing his phone on the bedside table, Jared, wearing his blessed socks, runs across the main room and slides on the hardwood floor into the kitchen and saw his husband standing three feet from Quinn as she’s vigorously gesturing with a paring knife while telling him off in her colorful language.
“Put the knife down!” The older Alpha’s voice resonates through the room, making Jared flinch, feeling the command’s power, watching Quinn set it on the counter and Jensen reach over, sliding it towards him.
She stood a bit longer before blinking in confusion, and then her demeanor shifted to madder than a wet hen, her natural lower voice dropped another octave, and the lilt became very pronounced. “Don’t ya’ ever use that fucking voice on me again!”
“You were threatening me with a knife!” Jensen picks up the item, making her laugh, “Holy fucking shit, are ya’ serious? Ya’ could barely use it for a toothpick, let alone...”
Jared stood there, mouth hanging open, have’n seen others take on his mate, wrongfully assuming he’d be the easier of the two to intimidate, but when let off its leash, Jensen's wolf made Dean Winchester look like a pussy cat.
“JARED!”
The younger Alpha's mouth snapped shut, “sorry, what?”
“I asked you what the surrogate is doing here?”
“The surrogate has a name.”
“What is Quinn doing here?”
“So..uh..okay,” Jared slowly starts around the island doing his sometimes awkward, hesitant thing. “A few days ago, I got a call from this number I didn’t recognize. It was about the ultrasound appointment scheduled while you were in LA.”
He paused to see if Jensen remembered, and yep, his mate was wearing his get to the fucking point expression.
“They informed me she’d canceled it because she was leaving town.”
Jensen's attention returned to the O, ”Don’t fucking start on me again, Ackles!”
“You know who I am?”
“Duh, Sherlock!”
Jensen would later try to justify it was jet lag and surprise finding their surrogate in their home, not her smart-ass mouth, for snarling at her.
“Och, save it for the cameras, drama queen. Ya’ put pants on just like the rest of us; the only difference is yours have designer labels.”
Jared interrupted the speeding downhill faster than an Olympic bobsledder situation, “I remembered her saying something about managing Mulroney’s Bookstore, so I called Clif to see if he’d get her to contact me and calls back saying some Alpha...”
“...who’s a flaming jackass!”
“Yeah, that’s what Clif called him. Anyways, he claimed to be the manager and had no idea where she was when another employee said they knew where she was living...”
“... that’s when ya’ boy shows up..”
“…I explained about the mixup...”
“…Padalecki followed me to my room to get the new date, then he caused a scene...”
“...I couldn’t help my wolf freaking out at where my..our pups were living...”
“…told ya’ it was there or the I-35 underpass!”
Jared bristled at the reminder, “The door had three locks, a barely functional heater, and a broken fridge. Cockroaches wouldn’t even live there!”
Quinn raises onto the balls of her feet and loudly reminds him about putting her in the shitter with the manager and getting fired when Jared shouts back in his booming voice, “there was a guy by the ice machine offering to sell me heroin!!”
“ENOUGH!” Jensen's Alpha voice echoes throughout the kitchen, quieting them both.
“She’s right,” Jared opened his mouth to retort, but Jensen countered with, “And so are you. Quinn, couldn’t your family help,” the Alphas wrinkled their noses at her souring scent, so he attempted another approach.
“I want to clear something up. I recall one of the stipulations for surrogates is that they reside in an appropriate domicile. Why were you living in a motel? Could you tell us what happened?”
“The flaming jackass tipped off the landlord I’m an O, and that fucker evicted me even though I never caused any problem or was late with rent.”
“There is a moratorium on evictions..”
“..that moratorium is a fucking joke!”
“What a minute,” Jensen said, and at the same time, Jared remarked, “It protects people...”
“Newsflash, Mr. Wizard, was created by and for the protection of Alphas and Betas! Take a hot minute to read the fine print, and you’ll find loopholes granting landlords, to quote, discretionary privileges pertaining to the eviction of those designated with the sub-gender Omega. In other words, they can boot O’s for any damn reason!” She gave the Alphas a hard stare, “So, enlighten me as to why y’all didn’t know a fucking thing about that bit?”
The kitchen got quiet as the Alphas glanced at each other, trying to find a non-assholey-sounding response. “Yeah, that’s what I thought; since it’s well known you two prefer Betas.” Quinn addressed the older Alpha.
“Padalecki and I have an arrangement. I keep the house and do meals in exchange for temporary boarding. No need to fret that pretty head of yours, Ackles; I’ll do me damnedest to stay outta the way."

December 23rd Late Afternoon
Quinn heard Jensen’s surprised greeting covering the stewpot of goulash, slid it into the oven to stay warm, and peeked around the wall and saw him in the foyer hugging a small, older O, then a tall, bald Alpha carrying several bags crossed over to them.
“Let me help you with those, sir,” she offered, taking them couldn’t help but overhear his not-subtle sniff, “Jensen, who’s this?”
“Umm,” Jensen scratched the back of his neck, fumbling for a response, “this is the housekeeper, Quinn.” His mother-in-law peered inquisitively at the tall Omega before asking, “What happened to your boys' service?”
“I worked for it.”
Gerald Padalecki dubiously eyed the O up and down as she continued. “They pared down the staff, and Jared offered to retain me in exchange for lodging...”
“You live with them?” Gerald barked, “Jensen, that’s unwise considering...”
“Considering what Gerry,” his mate sharply asks, “the boys wouldn’t let someone stay they couldn’t trust.”
“I normally wouldn’t question their judgment, but she's an unmated O.”
“Whoa,’ Jensen jumped in, “are you suggesting that Jared or I...”
“Mama..daddy..what’re y’all doing here?” Jared couldn’t keep the surprise out of his voice, wrapping his long arms around his mother, “thought you were coming tomorrow.”
“We decided to surprise you but got it instead.” Gerald’s gruff reply made Jared throw his husband a confused look, catching a whiff of his dad and Jensen, “What’s going on?”
“I bet y’all would like to freshen up after your trip.” Quinn blurted out, “Jensen, would you help me with their luggage, please.”
Taking the car keys, he follows her out the door, remarking, “you think fast, coming up with that story.”
“Ya’ were about to lose ya' shit on your father-in-law, and I didn’t precisely fib, just moved a few facts around,” Quinn shoots back, grabbing a bag while Jensen, fuming, retrieves the other, following her to the guest house.
How could the Alpha he considered his father even think, after everything they’d been through, found his dark thoughts distracted by two simultaneous acts; a deflating blow-up bed and his bewildered husband storming in shouting, “What the fuck was that?”
Jensen ticked his head towards the O and made the finger-in-hole gesture.
“I’ve gotten that shit since I presented,” the pair look towards Quinn with confused expressions. “Loads of Alphas still carry antiquated beliefs about unmated O’s, and I’m…pick an adjective to fill in the blank.”
“So much for a peaceful holiday,” Jensen grumbled.
“Yeah, too bad ya’ boy stuck his nose where it didn’t belong, right?” Quinn's tone was caustic. “I don’t want to be a bone of contention with ya' family. I’ll figure somewhere else to stay.”
Jared’s wolf simmers under his skin, “How? You have $636.96 in your account. That won’t cover a security deposit, let alone fir..”
“How the fuck ya’ know what’s in my account?!”
“Your laptop was open...”
“...and ya’ snooped...”
“...I happened to see it...”
“...still not your fucking problem...”
“...you’re carrying my..our pups, that makes it my fucking..”
“...ya’ are the most unfucking...”
“I’m tired of y’alls motherfucking bitching, so shut the fuck up!!”
Jensen wrinkles his nose, “Dude, dial it down; you’re stinking up the joint! And Quinn, Jared screwed up...”
“I never asked...”
“...doesn’t matter! He's trying to make amends, for fuck sake!” Jensen felt the vein in his left temple throbbing again.
“There will be many people dropping in or staying with us this fucking week, and this is how we’re all going to handle our situation.”
🫎🐿🫎🐿🫎🐿🫎🐿🫎🐿🫎🐿🫎🐿🫎🐿🫎🐿
January 15th
“Humph,” Jensen jerked awake, slapping a hand around, and found his phone before cracking an eye open.
7:18 A.M.
Groaning, he dropped face-first into his pillow and wrestled his mates over his head to muffle the noise, but the pearls of his pup's laughter signaled he wouldn’t sleep much longer.
His fuzzy brain's insistence that coffee was more imperative than a shower has Jensen sleepily shuffling around the oversized couches, once again grateful they’d decided to move their bedroom to the main floor, spots the group in the kitchen muttered too damn early.
“That’s a bad word, Daddy,” JJ says, her frown a replica of his, “you owe the swear jar.”
“Your right, Birdie, sorry,” dropping a kiss on top of her and the twins' heads, stepping around them, pouring himself a mug, “remind me to pay it later.”
Hopping up on the counter, Jensen sips his coffee, savoring the black elixir rolling over his taste buds; he feels the caffeine penetrate his system, working its magic to turn his morning grumpyass into a civilized human watching his brood.
JJ and Arrow are busily festooning Quinn’s long, wonky braided hair with ribbons. Zeppelin and Icarus are sitting on the O’s lap, watching something on his iPad that's precariously balanced against her feet; felt his wolf purr in contentment, starting him when his mate materializes and gives him an odd look.
“Alright, y’all,” hopping off the counter, Jensen scoops up his son and flies him around, making airplane sounds, “Uncle Jeff and Aunt H/W/N will be here soon. What do all of you need to do before going?”
“Brush teeth and hair,” Arrow says, then looks at JJ, “grab our snacks from the fridge,” she reminds her, “and put them into our backpacks.”
“And do bath break!” Zep giggles as Jensen hands the pup to his mate and quietly says, “I wanna discuss something with Quinn.”
Jared reaches through their bond and finds a placidity in Jensen he hasn’t had for so long, but before he can deduce the causation, he gets distracted by the twins' squeals and escorts the pups upstairs.
Quinn eyes the older Alpha while securing a hair tie around her long braids, “what the fuck I do this time, Ackles?”
“Jared mentioned something about your leaving..”
“...I know ya' expected me gone before now...”
“...ya’ know what I expect?” Jensen snaps, mimicking her subtle accent, “I expect you to stop interrupting and let me get something out for fucking once! Now, could we please discuss this without fighting?”
Sitting at the dining room table, she says nothing, watching Jensen refill his coffee, grab another mug, and drops in a spoon of honey before pouring the brewed tea from the kettle, “Ya’ know how I take me tea?”
“I’m not a completely unobservant asshole,” Jensen self-deprecates, “you make a damn good cup of coffee,” he said, carrying both mugs over. “And I’m astonished how you balance everything, working at Emmer and Rye while keeping up with our hectic schedules. And what did you do to Jared?” Quinn looked confused, “you got him to put his wet clothes in the laundry instead of leaving them all over the bath. You’re either a witch or a goddamn miracle worker!”
“I gave him two options. Leave’um in the laundry or find itching powder in his clothing.”
“He’d just borrow my stuff...”
“...he did, once.”
“So, you?
“Clif said ya’ boy spent the day denying it was jock itch.”
Jensen was still laughing when the quartet came back downstairs, so Quinn placed both forearms on the table, leaning forward, and spoke softly, “okay, Ackles, the fucks going on with this little tête-à-tête? Cause ya’ been freaked the fuck out the entire time, so,” nodding to her mug, “What’s with the buttering up?”
“It’s about not leaving...”
“Quinns not gonna leave?” Jensen whipped around to find Arrow bouncing excitedly beside him, then she suddenly raced towards the front door, yelling, “Papa Jared, Daddy’s got Quinn to stay with us!”
Jared stood there scrutinizing the seated duo with an indecipherable expression.
“Looks like ya’ the one dropping me in the shitter this time, Ackles.”

things I wanna see in the next season of 911 part 2:
-I want Eddie and Marisol broken up by the first episode but nobody talks about it at all. We later find out that it was a beard relationship and Marisol is in love with another woman and just needed someone to bring home for the holidays and make her homophobic family back off.
-Buck goes to pride because he got invited by Hen and Karen. He gets asked out by literally everyone and decides to explore his sexuality a bit and goes out with a guy.
-A filler episode where we get one person showing up at each scene. It’s entirely in the background, it’s not explained, but it keeps getting brought up by Eddie and nobody pays attention to him so he goes a little crazy trying to find out why nobody is also talking about it
-An episode where we get an all night monopoly game with the 118. I want drama, cheating, sleep-deprived accusations, and money/time off/gifts riding on who wins.
-I want more Supernatural cameos! We got Mark, now I want Jensen. I don’t care if they blow the whole budget on him, I just want him in the show. Go big or go home amiright
-A Very Sad episode where Christopher is in grave danger and Buck and Eddie have to team up to help him. I want so much angst it oozes out of the screen. Can you imagine how much emotional development would occur in just one episode if Buck and Eddie both realized what they are? A FAMILY??
-an emergency where it’s zombies. Ofc it’s just a bunch of people on bath salts but I want everyone to at least slightly believe it and be nervous. Buck is surprisingly the least concerned, probably because he’s read all those natural disaster books, but Chimney is the one who outright thinks that the end of the world is happening
-Maddie gets a call from a parrot
-Bobby and Athena have to solve a murder on their cruise
-Bobby and Athena also get stuck on some Caribbean island and we get some adorable married moments
ABC you can take my ideas just put my name in the credits I don’t care
#911 show#buddie#rambles#eddie diaz#911 fox#911 spec#evan buckley#char watches things#chimney han#hen wilson#maddie buckley#not spec unless it’s canonized#lowkey want a slow arc of Eddie pining this season like bro it would hurt so good
