Look at my icons and comment with the following:

1. One that makes you automatically think of me.
2. One that you think I should TOTALLY use more often.
3. One that you don't get/needs more explanation/you have no idea why the hell I have it.

For your comment, use an icon of yours that you love love love, and tell me why.

Grandson to take on Flynn Role

Actually, words don't fail me entirely. How about this, BY THE FOREHEADS OF ANT AND DEC, NOOOO!!!?

Luke Flynn possesses, from what I've seen in I think, two whole photographs, a little that is aesthetically pleasing. I can't speak to his charm or charisma, but I can say that these were not reflected in those photographs (I think in a People magazine once recently) and not in the quotes that accompanied them. My thought at the time was "Well, he doesn't look anything like my dearest Flynn, but it's nice to know that he grew up in Jamaica, which Flynn loved so much." I also recalled the memory of seeing Dean Martin's grandson Alexander in Josie and the Pussycats: I don't doubt that these guys loved their grandfathers, but that familial connection is not enough.

Come on, if it were enough, I'd be Julian Lennon's biggest fan. As it is, I recoil at the idea of there being Dhani Harrison fansites (there are, and I don't agree, frankly). You might as well just say that to clone Teh Flynn would be enough. It's not. Cosmetic similarity is never enough. As, ironically, the ill-fated Sean Flynn found out when he tried his hand at acting. I don't know what would've happened if he hadn't disappeared in the Vietcong-controlled jungles of SE Asia. However, I suspect that he already knew what it was to live with the recognition but not the glory. Happy, contented young men with their lives ahead of them don't usually take such risks. Unless recklessness really IS genetic, of course.

If Luke Flynn is a good Errol, if he is handsome and charming and lady-killing, he may yet win me over. But it will have to be on his terms and not Errol's. I've seen Son-of-Insert-Star-Here in the flesh, and I can tell you this: he won me over to his side, but he did it himself. Truth be told, it took me some time to realise that it was definitely who I thought it was, and by the time it was confirmed, I was already on his side.

Hell, words didn't fail me after all. Now on Katie's request, one of my less-used icons.
