For the past week, a slim envelope has been taunting me from its comfortable seat on the living room ottoman. I know what’s in it; the problem is, it’s addressed to Mr. Glass, and other than those pesky financial forms and records (URGENT! Last Notice! You May Already Be A Winner!), I keep my mitts off Mr. Glass’s mail. And Mr. Glass himself? Has been out of town for the last week and a half.
But after he gets home tonight and has had some time to rest from his labors, O, what a mighty unveiling there shall be! At long last we will feast our eyes on the contents of that package — a movie seventeen years in the making — THE CICADA EARTH. (No, I don’t get the title either.)
What’s so special about this movie? It contains illustrations derived from Mr. Glass’s photos of the great cicada invasion of 2004.
If you like cicadas (and who doesn’t?), you can find some fun stuff here.
