Another chance for Another Earth

If you missed Another Earth when it was in theaters, check out my latest essay in The Humanist's November/December issue for a preview on this excellent film:

"Another Earth deserves another chance, especially for readers, writers, and dreamers—bonus if you’re all three. The film offers up a wholly unique look at reconciliation, with related lessons we can absorb about the art of storytelling."

I hardly ever get out to the movie theater anymore, but we managed to see Argo this weekend. Really, really good film. My favorite kind of thriller: you know the end result, but not every detail of how you'll get there. Also, I delight in thinking about Alan Arkin's character saying "Argo-f*ck yourself."

Never in my life did I expect to fall in love with banjo music

But there you have it. Fall is for mums and pumpkins and candy corn. For lovers. For The Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons and other familial outfits that rock the banjo.

You heard that right, man.
