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.

Ishtar (1987)
A comedy directed by Elaine May.
A songwriting duo take a gig in morocco and get involved in the dangerous political affairs of the region.
The music in this film really sucks. I know that's supposed to be funny, but it wasn't. I do like the scene in the Indian restaurant where the men have a heaping plate of unidentifiable food between them and their hands are covered in it. That's what Indian food is all about. There's the good and the bad, so the rest is just o.k., which is what I'm rating this film.
