Sometimes I wonder how I saw *anything* that wasn't my Dad's thing when I was a kid. Remembering just how much he could not STAND Flash Gordon, Clash of the Titans, or Excalibur, but you notice I still got to see them, unlike say Conan or Jason and the Argonauts. I think it falls into how our taste in movies and music occasionally really overlaps - he's the guy who introduced me to jidaigeki and The Endless Summer - but more frequently doesn't.
