John extremely entertaining radio interview.

Hi SGB:
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for listening.
I had a blast!
best,
John
Great interview, although I always imagined you speaking with an upper crust British accent. I thought your thoughts towards the end about the Sherlock Holmes and Star Trek films were dead on. The parts of Holmes that I enjoyed the most were the scenes where he would actually use his powers of deduction to recreate something that had happened earlier.
ReplyDeleteHi jdigriz,
ReplyDeleteI only wish I spoke with a British accent. If I could have any voice out there, I'd want James McLean's (at Back to Frank Black). He has a wonderful voice. Instead, I have my strange hybrid of Jersey twang and North Carolina/Southern accent. *Sigh.*
I'm glad you enjoyed the interview, and I had a terrific time. I enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes movie until it descended, strongly, into action movie conventions and such. I also liked the parts of the film that you did!
Great comment!
best,
John
