The Rephrasing
Hello,
Could you help me please to rephrase this sentence?
This is from Adrien Brody`s speech again.
"It doesn`t really come out in slow motion, but it doesn`t really ring a bell."
'It' or his name wasn`t announced in a slow way but it didn`t sound familiar to him.
Why does he use The Present Simple and not Past Simple or The Present Perfect Tense?
Thank you

Hi,
Whoa. I bet they didn't tell you that was in the gift bag. Oh, my ***. Thank you. Thank you, really. Oh, my goodness. It -- It doesn't come out in slow motion, but it doesn't really ring a bell. The name -- I didn't know my name when you said that. I was like, "...this Adrien?"
Okay. I haven't really written a speech because every time I wrote a speech for the past
