Saw the movie/documentary last night. It was very good and I recommend it, but it was very heavy.

The story is fascinating. Here's the trailer:

Very interesting, port, thank you! Going to have to see it.

You'll have to let me know what you think, if/when you get to it.

And the Twinning Reaction Movie was mentioned in the movie as well.

It happened to be on at Liberty Hall that same day, so Anna and I went to see it. Very interesting, very well done and also very sad at the end as it was clear that the surviving brothers no longer get along, apparently only coming together for this project.

And a question for you -- Anna said maybe, I said definitely -- the one surviving brother (Robert, the one who clearly weighed less) reminded me of Larry Brown. Put some glasses on him and he could readily pull off the impersonation. Your thoughts? (That's Robert on the right below.)

Yeah, I could totally see that!

And HE, I one thing I would've liked would be to hear from the adopted sisters (who were almost like the control group in the experiment). I feel like they would have had so much insight to offer.
