Glad you found it a good read. :-) Wek: I think you've hit the nail on the head. Damien has always been about the charm, and it's almost more interesting to read the interviews around any show he has. They tend to create a sort of "Damien world" that is almost part of the work for me, and I think that is part of the "because he can" that you mentioned. What stops this from working fully however, the work can't be poor. It can be good, he can even get away with it being average, but it can't be a bad as this. It's a real shame.
