Winston-Salem Journal Article/Karlen
« on: June 24, 2002, 09:58:42 PM »
This past Friday, North Carolina's Winston-Salem Journal published a review of the DVD set and an accompanying article featuring an interview with John Karlen.

Oh, MsCriseyde.....

THANK YOU so much for posting this.  The article may have made me cry....but YOU made my day.

If any of you who are going to the Fest get the chance, please tell our Brooklyn Bad Boy we New Yorkers would much rather he come home to WORK.....then he can ride the subways to his heart's content.....(jeez....ex-New Yorkers miss the craziest things!!!  ::) )

Thanks again MsCriseyde.....

It would be wonderful to see JK walk down a street in good old NYC.  He's a New Yorker at heart for sure!! ;D

Thank you for providing the links to these, MsCriseyde.  I thought the interview with Mr. Karlen was well-done.  I really felt I learned something about who he is and what he's like.

Also, it was interesting to get confirmation as to why Barnabas had to suck blood from Willie's wrist rather than his neck.  I remember some speculations concerning this in the past during the last run of the series (somehow must have missed the part during the most recent run).  Which makes me wonder if Barnabas ever did bite another man on the neck -- I don't think he did.  Was there any female-on-female biting? Hmmm...

And the DVD reviewer thought that some of the actors "hamm[ed] it up to ridiculous extremes" while others played their roles "more sedately"?  A controversial observation to make, I daresay ...

Actually, this seems a very safe way of putting it, since he didn't single anyone out and it covers all the bases. After all... one can always point out that someone like, oh, Joan Bennett hammed it up to "ridiculous extremes," while Addison Powell's performance was always understated and dignified.

<<DUCKING>>

;D

Hmm, you may have missed a discussion a while back spanning two threads that began when someone made a similar, rather "innocuous" comment ... it turned into quite the controversy!   :)
