That's why it can be interesting to watch Svengoolie sometimes, as there is a semi-bridge between the simple intro/screening and the riffing of MST3k.

Re: MST3K: Anti-cinema?
My much bigger criticism of MST3k (and their later offshoots---especially The Mads) is that they edit the movies that they show, often considerably cutting down on the runtime.

Confessions of a Mask is definitely one of Mishima's most essential books---not to mention one of his best. It's amazing, really, how much of his life course is traced out in that book.
