In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

withnail and i (1986)
a black comedy directed by bruce robinson
this film is about 2 buddies who take a vacation in the country. one of them is very put off by the gay uncle who loans them the cottage. the other is afraid of the country folk. it's mainly a movie about their problems.
the audio and video were good. no complaints.
my understanding of black comedy was slightly enriched by this movie. it's funny, but not funny "ha-ha", it's funny weird. my favorite part of the film is these guys' friend who played a role in wayne's world 2. I'll give you a hint: "i had to beat them to death with their own shoes...". definitely worth watching.
