One of the things I neglected to mention about "Another Earth" was the poetic license they took about the idea of a planet as large as earth that close to us. A planet of that mass would have played all kinds of havoc with our environment and they would be too busy dealing with that than to try to communicate (same for the inhabitants of the other planet). I'm wondering how much this alignment might mess with the perturbations of Earth and the Moon orbits though it has probably been factored into any planetary calculations.
