Hal watches Himself's cartridges
Hal watches half of the ‘Medusa v. Odalisque’ thing but takes it out abruptly when people in the audience start getting turned to stone.
Context
The maker's own son can't finish the film about spectation turning fatal. Medusa v. Odalisque literalizes the theme — an on-screen audience petrified into stone by what it watches — and Hal, alone in the Viewing Room working through his dead father's cartridges, ejects it "abruptly" the moment the stone-turning starts. It's the anti-Entertainment operating as designed: art built to make watching visibly lethal repels rather than compels, so that even the grieving son, who will sit through a dozen other cartridges, flinches from this one. The petrified spectator is the theme's nightmare image, and the reflex to look away from it is itself the datum.
