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.

Far From Heaven (2002)
A drama by Todd Haynes, starring Julianne Moore and Dennis Quaid.
A seemingly happily married couple in the '50s have problems. The husband is gay and the wife is attracted to a black man.
The plot and characters left much to be desired. Maybe I just didn't like them... I thought the style and production value were good, but the pace was very slow. I'm rating this poor because I got bored and it wasn't what I would choose to watch.
