1. This work relates to our discussion in intermedia and expanded cinema in the 60's with the process of performance. There are all different kinds of acting, even if we think it is not acting at all, "it just is" relates to our discussion with previous performance.
2. A close up of a hand cutting of the orange, and unexpected black tiny marbles come out of it. A man is who is one the left and right of the screen is looking at an apple on the screen, when he walks into look closer the man walks through the apple. The illusion of the apple looking that it popped off the screen. The performance of the man slowly walking toward the screen (with the fruit) really got the viewers attention.
3. I think Eddie steals the scene in Vinyl, because first, she is the only woman in the scene, second the viewer tends to notice all the images on the screen, there is a lot going on, and the viewer is looking at her to see if she will interact with the boys. Lastly, her dance moves while she was sitting down pulled her even more apart from her fellow performers.
4. Underground began to crossover into mainstream cinema by the attention it was getting in magazine articles, and with the release of Chelsea Girls.
5. Getz was an important figure in the crossover because he is the one who implemented a new distribution channel, and traveling over twenty cities with his traveling show, and really got the word out about underground cinema.
