Oops! Sorry, about that, chief.
Okay, I promise that if Come Die With Me ever comes on again,
I'll watch it as a trashy spoof and see how I like it. About
your comparison, though, I always preferred Our Man Flint to
Casno Royale when it came to spy spoofs.
There was one thing I did like about the movie, Velda's clear
animosity towards Mike. It seemed as if she had finally
gotten fed up with Mike's overlooking her "in that way" and
going off with other women. I can't remember if it came
through in the dialog or the delivery (weren't Estes and
Anderson once engaged -- yes, I am embarassed to know that --
was she acting out after they broke up?), but she had a
pretty nasty attitude towards Mike.
Also, John, you cast some aspersions about Anderson. I always
thought she was smart for the way she plays into her dumb
image in VIP. Are you implying she doesn't have a choice? She
isn't acting?
