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.

Slaughterhouse Five (1972)
A drama directed by George Roy Hill.
A man becomes "unstuck in time" and experiences scenes from his life in no coherent order. He is in World War 2, a rich businessman and an alien abductee living on the planet Tralfamador.
This film looks and sounds good and it seemed like a good idea until I finished watching it. Because of the incoherent order of events, the plot suffers greatly. Billy and Spot's characters are developed very well, so I'm rating it o.k.
