"I'm married! I'm beautiful!": A Scientific Proof for Saturday Night

Observations:

1. Muriel's Wedding is a really depressing movie. Though, to be more specific, it has a lot of really depressing scenes, but in the end, it's actually moderately uplifting & hopeful.


2. As a general rule, any ABBA song can be both depressing and uplifting, but in a certain context, even Dancing Queen is depressing (this may be a corollary of #1, actually).


3. Contrast that to the Go Betweens' 16 Lovers Lane, which is an incredible, incredible album, but is actually depressing all the way through.


4. Hey, it's Saturday night!

Conclusion:

Saturday nights are good for sitting around, watching depressing movies, and listening to depressing music.

Q.E.D.

Breaking update: Counterpoint!

Watching Brain Candy is a much better way to spend Saturday night! "That's not a gift! You freakin' stoled it!" Best movie ever.

New conclusion:

Brain Candy is the Gleemonex for any Saturday night.
