Just a related misc fyi:

Our EEEEVVVIIIL affilaite station here in
the extended Detroit area runs one of the
sleazy mega-church cult shows after their
11 pm news. Sometimes I've let it run a
couple of minutes, which is how I saw...

... I saw adverts for an audio version of
The Bible, read by, yes, James Earl Jones.

My favorite clip of his, from the movie
"Hunt for Red October"

A US helicopter drops an anti-submarine
torpedo in the water and it's enroute to
destroy Red October. Then, aboard the US
killer submarine, we see a hand reach for
the "self destruct" button and push it. "boom".

Camera moves to show us James Earl Jones'
face as he tells the fire control officer,
in his JEJ voice:

"And.. I was never here.."
