Flashy's a good word for it. I tend to accept I'm going to be looking at style over substance when it comes to his films, to be honest (I have been known to forgive a lot for men looking smexy as well - I actually sat all the way through My Bloody Valentine the other night, ignoring how utterly dire it was, because it involved Jensen saying fuck a lot :D)

Bizarrely, my mum was visiting yesterday *shudder* and asked about her gollywog. I don't think we've mentioned that in years!

My dad read us the Hobbit as a bedtime story when we were around 3 and 6. We loved it, but then fantasy has always been my thing. Horses for courses I guess. I buy into fantasy, you like wierd oriental films :D
