The review
I wanted sleep and put on a film about not getting any. The furniture misbehaves. Georges Méliès, 1903. A traveler cannot rest. A child can watch it. The joke is rest refused. The objects are the cast. By the end the couch felt too close to the gag, which I blame on the hour.
An inn owes a guest the night. This one spends the reel breaking that, and you are meant to laugh. No family lives in the room. No conscience calls it off. Short enough for the kids. In a real house the bed still has to work, and that is the only piece of the title I felt like keeping.

The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

Hollywood Dirt
36 instead of 24
Hollywood Dirt is still a comedy film, and it scores 36 instead of 24. What you gain is household: A divorce behind him, a woman who wants a different life.
