Are you walking around with your “I Voted!” sticker proudly adhered to your chest? If not, get out there and do some lever pulling, chad punching, and ballot dropping. Then take the rest ofthe day off and watch one of these movies that’ll get you through the rest of election day and away from the nail-biting edge of election return coverage. There are a few minor spoilers inside, but don’t view that as me messing with the ballot box. You’ll still love the movies more than CNN’s infographics.

Portfolio points to this short film starring Robert Evans, designed to promote a line of luxury sunglasses inspired by the legendary producer.  Mind Games, styled as a trailer for a film noir, briefly summarizes the Evans character’s infatuation with a cool blonde described by Fred Schreurs as “a raging, memoir-typing harridan on the order, one guesses, of some of Evans’ seven ex-wives.” I read it as a straight Ali MacGraw thing––”Whatever was in her eyes, it sure wasn’t love,” Evans says, in the hindsight of a betrayal, and then, in his trademarked rhetorical-inquisitive manner, admits to having been cuckolded: “Was I smart? No, I was dumb, with a capital ‘d’.” But any read is probably more than this guilty, late afternoon pleasure deserves––it is, after all, an ad for sunglasses that you and I cannot afford.
