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.

Valhalla Rising (2009)
An adventure by Nicolas Winding Refn.
A Norse man is being tortured and forced to fight for seemingly no reason. When he kills his captors, the boy who is with them follows him and they find some Christians.
I was slightly distracted, but the style didn't do anything to draw my attention away from learning metal songs on the ukulele. There was almost no sound in the film, but there was violence. It was boring, so I turned it off. Since I can't rip on a film for me being distracted, I'm rating it poor instead of shit. If I'm watching a movie, I want it to pull my attention away from what I'm doing so I can focus on the film, not lull me into boredom so I focus on other things.
