Dear Friend of film critic person,
Re: the review of 'Flash Gordon' (Salient, 2 June, p.4). What does this 'S.D.' fellow think he's doing? My father's sole intention was to pay for his latest court case, in which he was (dammit) acquitted, and also for his new fleet of Lambourghinis by making a movie as quickly and as cheaply as possible. I feel he has done this most successfully. By taking the film seriously, S.D. is (a) pandering to my father, (b) denying my reality and (c) oppressing tea gatherers in Ceylon. My heartiest congratulations to S.D.
PS. There is absolutely no truth to the fact ... er ... rumour that the young lady who played Ming's daughter enjoyed the torture scene.
