I remember having to buy Mast's book about comedy for a class on the same thing and hated it. It was full of horribly printed pictures and glaring factual errors. I remember even other profs talking down about Mast as a scholar (one even said he wasn't a legitimate source for essay writing) so I've avoided his work ever since. I like the irony of how he always disliked Harrold Lloyd and after his death Lloyd appeared on one of the covers of Short History of the Movies. <br /><br />I also watched Closely Watched Trains. I watched in on the Auteurs back in the days when they actually updated their free Criterion fest movies. I liked it but can understand why it's not much talked about in the scope of film history that much anymore.<br /><br />And ya, thanks for the memories!The Taxi Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352371911592068643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622159271440854440.post-57917921859691802912010-03-27T10:51:37.292-05:002010-03-27T10:51:37.292-05:00Ah, flashbacks.Ah, flashbacks.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085105568601878075noreply@blogger.com
