...drag to work with the administration instead of against it. Meetings, e-mails, closed doors, red tape—it’s never as sexy as spray painting your chest and hooting call-and-response chants through a bullhorn at University Hall. In many ways, I regret not doing more of that. Still, I tell myself, I’m not a complete suit. I’ve realized over the last two years that what’s best for the environment isn’t just tea and Birkenstocks (although I like both those things). Sustainability involves...
Crewdson has made some fascinating pictures, enigmatic scenes of puzzlement, regret and frustration. But for an artist, an infatuation with movies can be a tricky thing. He made a wrong turn with the Dream House series he worked on from 1998 to 2002, where for the first time he recruited famous faces to play his people. No doubt getting Gwyneth Paltrow and Philip Seymour Hoffman to appear in your photographs brings you enhanced market cred.

What one can say, however, is that his story - much more a study in enigmatic character than an exercise in suspense - makes a very good movie: subtle, complex, bleakly funny at times, but always utterly enveloping, one of the great studies in profoundly abnormal psychology...
...confident that it's accurate: "They can come after us all they want--it won't change what we're trying to do." What they're trying to do, she says, is prevent a frightened pregnant woman from making a rash decision that she may come to regret. You can talk about choice all you like, she argues, but if a woman feels overwhelmed and all alone and thinks she can somehow "turn back the clock like the pregnancy never happened," then she doesn't understand what abortion really entails. "We need to counter the message that abortion...
