...seen - or been abducted by - UFOs. Among these witnesses are more than a few famous names. Miyuki Hatoyama, wife of the current Japanese Prime Minister, wrote in a 2008 autobiography that one night while she was sleeping "my soul rode on a triangular-shaped UFO and went to Venus." (Her soul was later returned.) U.S. Representative Dennis Kucinich provided one of the oddest moments in the tumultuous 2008 presidential elections when he affirmed in a televised debate that in the 1980s, he and actress Shirley MacLaine witnessed an unidentified flying object over her house.

The temperature on Venus, for instance, where the atmosphere is 96% CO2, is over 400°C, or 750°F.) By contrast, black carbon in the air actually absorbs sunlight as it comes from space, directly heating up the atmosphere. "The soot particles are like the parts of a blanket, and it's getting thicker...
...mess of contradictions,” one student remarks to another. “That makes it so hard to know what they want.” Statements along these lines abound in this highly verbal film, but the interview segments go far beyond a women-are-from-Venus approach in unfolding the fragility of both genders in their relationships. When describing why he fell in love with his wife, Sara’s boss, Professor Adams (Timothy Hutton), asks, “Do you think this sounds shallow? People’s real reasons?” Indeed...
