There's really nothing to this post except a pointless blogger inside joke, but I just learned earlier today for the first time that there's actually a 2006 movie called A Very Serious Person. Sadly, it's not about Michael O'Hanlon. Instead:
Jan (Charles Busch), an itinerant male nurse from Denmark, takes a new job with Mrs. A (Polly Bergen), a terminally ill Manhattan woman raising her parentless thirteen-year-old grandson, Gil (PJ Verhoest). Spending the summer by the shore, the emotionally reserved Jan finds himself oddly cast as a mentor to Gil in having to prepare the sensitive boy for life with his cousins in Florida after his grandmother’s death. A deep friendship grows between these two solitary people. By the end of the summer, Gil has developed a new maturity and independence, while the enigmatic Jan has revealed his own vulnerability.
If that doesn't sound good to you, though, you can always check out A War Like No Other. James Steinberg calls it "A supremely thoughtful, sober assessment of what is one of the most dangerous fault lines in the world today."

Heads in the Sand
I'd have thought you'd go for the other review:
"A modern classic for those who think seriously about the prospective national security challenges confronting the United States in a dangerous world."
