Influential, sure. Like many people, I used to read Mad magazine. It was when I was 12 or 13 and I have not had the temptation for a long time. I am not going to disagree with anyone's personal taste; Feldstein just hasn't had any lasting power for me.

We don't have to disagree about "Mona Lisa". It's been quite a while since I watched it so I just popped it onto the Netflix queue.
