Ida was about a young nun who leaves her life at the cloister and discovers just how small the borders of her life have been, and the tighter framing and austere coloration served the film well, along with Pawlikowski's predilection for positioning his subjects in the bottom of the frame, leaving lots of empty space above their heads.
|

Mary Gabriel's recent book, "Ninth Street Women," about the emergence of Abstract Expressionism in 1940s New York, offers the compelling theory that the arrival of European artists during World War II fundamentally altered the egalitarian ethos of the artistic community the young American painters had established: When the Europeans came, they brought the history of male perceptual authority with them, along with a predilection for alcohol and misogyny.

"Victim of Me," the first song released off the album, captures their trademark short, fast, and melodic sound, but now, as Aukerman sings, "No longer will I travel aimlessly," you've got to wonder if the members—who are now in their 50s—have finally matured from the kids they were when they wrote "I Don't Want to Grow Up." Although judging by Stevenson's adulthood predilection for fart jokes, probably not.

For all the rising enmity toward Mark Helfrich, the Ducks' worst record on his watch is 228-215 and last week's upending at Nebraska is as much a byproduct of gruesome injury luck—Oregon lost its best player and workhorse tailback (Royce Freeman), its star left tackle (Tyrell Crosby) and most explosive pass catcher (Devon Allen) within a couple of quarters of each other—as Helfrich's odd predilection for two-point conversions.

Saunders often pays imaginative attention to corporations, bureaucracies, and nomenclature (Pfizer should hire the coiner of Docilryde™, Bonviv™, and Darkenfloxx™ the way the Ford Motor Company once enlisted Marianne Moore), and he has a predilection for creepy theme parks: the title stories of "Pastoralia" (2000) and "CivilWarLand in Bad Decline" (1996) involve troubled attractions where caveman life and the American Civil War are reënacted; the latter venue is replete with ghosts and apparitions.
