Observations:
- 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.
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).- Contrast that to the Go Betweens' 16 Lovers Lane, which is an incredible, incredible album, but is actually depressing all the way through.
- 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.
"Brain Candy"! That movie is brilliant!
Did you like "Wet Hot American Summer"? If you like weird/absurd comedies y'all should see "The Baxter" when it comes out next week.

I've never seen "Wet Hot American Summer", actually. I remember being interested in seeing it when it came out, but never got round to it... I think Mena may have seen it on TV once.
But I watched the trailer for "The Baxter" last week and definitely want to see it. And Mena will see anything with Paul Rudd in it. :)
