...recognize him. It turns out that she too is a world famous scientist. The exposition deftly continues as we learn that these world-famous scientists have been assembled in order to save Metalluna from their arch-enemy. Swibberlex or something. However, the Aliens intend to submit the Earthlings to frontal lobotomies so that they will have no will of their own. Through a series of circumstances too embarrassing to relate, the scientist and the girl find themselves in a flying saucer heading towards Metalluna itself...
...defeated Adam Clayton Powell by a slim margin in a Democratic congressional primary last week has made a lifetime habit of doing the difficult and making it look easy. Charles Bernard Rangel, a 40-year-old black state assemblyman, unseated King Adam gently, avoiding harsh frontal attacks, building productive political alliances, and working, working, working.

Lang's camera placement, which directs our attention straight into the frame and rivets it to some person deep in the shot, culminates in this sequence. The projectors are wheeled straight in, high-angle; cut to reverse-angle as the screen is pulled down high-angle as the projectors are set running...
...successful. Yes, Jonathan Kramer might have been correct that Hair spoke now about Tie City culture. But Hair's brilliance was something existential. It was the undifferentiated contact and movement and love which the tribes actions manifested. It was the nude scene in which the cast stands in frontal boldness, asserting the beauty of their bodies and the intangible intimacy they're supposed to feel amongst themselves. And it was the group-groping which was so taken for granted that one might gloss over it. It was the tattooed couple (two guys who seldom unlocked their arms, and were reputedly...
