Italo Calvino - Il Barone rampante

[dinonfissatoaffetto]

S’intitola "Il barone rampante" l’ultimo libro che mi ha dato papà, raccomandandosi: «È un classico per ragazzi, leggilo, farà bene al tuo povero italiano zoppicante. Nelle mie classi, poi, è piaciuto a tutti...». Uffa, papà. Non puoi volermi bene punto e basta? Se non leggo me ne vuoi di meno? È stato sul comodino un mese e l’ho iniziato ieri ESCLUSIVAMENTE perché conoscerò l’autore. Una cosa stranissima, a pensarci. Oh, sarà un caso, ma i romanzi, le poesie e i racconti che ci propina la professoressa Berti sono tutti di scrittori morti da una vita. Dante Alighieri, Petrarca e quell’altro di cui mi sfugge il nome sono del 1300 o giù di lì. Alessandro Manzoni, 1873. Giacomo Leopardi, 1837. Ugo Foscolo, 1827. Per dire: sui libri non c’è nemmeno la foto di questa gente qua!

Harrison Ford was Spielberg's original choice to play Eddie Valiant, but his price was too high. Chevy Chase was the second choice, but he was not interested. Bill Murray was also considered for the role, but due to his idiosyncratic method of receiving offers for roles, Murray missed out on it. Eddie Murphy reportedly turned down the role as he misunderstood the concept of toons and humans co-existing; he later regretted this decision. Robin Williams, Robert Redford, Jack Nicholson, Sylvester Stallone, Edward James Olmos, Wallace Shawn, Ed Harris, Charles Grodin and Don Lane were also considered for the role. Ultimately, Bob Hoskins was chosen by Spielberg because of his acting skill and because Spielberg believed he had a hopeful demeanor and he looked like he belonged in that era. To facilitate Hoskins' performance, Charles Fleischer dressed in a Roger Rabbit costume and "stood in" behind camera for most scenes. Williams explained Roger was a combination of "Tex Avery's cashew nut-shaped head, the swatch of red hair... like Droopy's, Goofy's overalls, Porky Pig's bow tie, Mickey Mouse's gloves, and Bugs Bunny-like cheeks and ears." Kathleen Turner provided the uncredited voice of Jessica Rabbit, Roger Rabbit's wife. Tim Curry auditioned for the role of Judge Doom, but was rejected because the producers found him too terrifying. Christopher Lee was also considered for the role, but turned it down. John Cleese also expressed interest for the role, but was deemed not scary enough. Peter O'Toole, F. Murray Abraham, Roddy McDowall, Eddie Deezen and Sting were also considered for the role. Christopher Lloyd was cast because he previously worked with Zemeckis and Spielberg on Back to the Future. He compared his part as Doom to his previous role as the Klingon commander Kruge in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, both overly evil characters which he considered "fun to play". He avoided blinking his eyes while on camera to portray the character.

In the dairy industry

calves are separated from their mothers a day - sometimes only a few hours - after birth to prevent the loss of even a drop of valuable milk. Denied maternal nourishment, they have no way to find comfort or nurse from their mother.

Female calves, like their mothers, confront a bleak fate. Once fertile, at around 12 months, they face a cycle of forced impregnation, grief, mechanical milking, and eventual slaughter.

Male calves may be shipped off to barren feedlots to await slaughter at less than 2 years of age. Others are kept in cramped pens or tiny crates, where they’re prevented from moving so that their flesh will stay tender so that they can be sold for veal.

So this has been something that's been asked for a few times, so after a long times work, here we have it! A hypothetical voice cast for the characters of Autobot Academy. If there's a character you don't see, it's as we don't want to rush figuring out a character. We may update this list in the future, however it'll be in our own time, so we won't be taking any questions about specific missing characters. And hey, if you have your own voices that don't match up with these, then feel free to stick with that!

9 people you'd like to know better

Ok, let me tell you: If I had seen this notification on any other site I would have panicked and run away, but these few days I spent on Tumblr got me feeling more social and less scared to post than ever! So thank you very much @herbgroom for tagging me! I did get startled by it, but am excited to give it a go!

Last song: Currently listening "They'll Find You"  by Griffinilla ft. CK9C. My FNaF phase is back, could you tell?

Currently watching: I don’t watch much other than YouTube unless I want to see a specific actor buuuuut I just got around to watching Novecento today. People told me the protagonists looked like the boys from Pathologic. They were not kidding. Even Olmo’s posture reminded me of Artemy and De Niro kinda ruined daydreaming about who to cast in live-action Pathologic to me so… Also it was a weird, old but good movie. After the “hehehe Pathologic” wore off I was actually hooked on the plot. I cried. Heavy movie in some parts.  

Currently reading: Does an online course count? I’m going through the Drawabox free stuff because I spent years without drawing and have to relearn, so I figure I should go back to the basics! Also took Scott Roger’s Level Up out of the shelf for a rereading this week because I think I didn’t really absorb the content the first time. *cof* *cof* because the jokes about Lara Croft’s ass bothered me *cof* *cof*

Current obsession: Do anyone go through that period where is hard to choose wallpapers because nothing is rotting your brain too much? That’s me right now. I’m grinding the Good Christian Boy achievement on Faith and being on Tumblr inspired to seriously design and post about the most random MCU Variant OC that has been living rent-free in my head since What If… So in my free time, I play Faith and overanalyze MCU costumes, but is not really taking the entire of my brain power like my previous obsessions. :(

Let me add the fun fact that I talk too much! In case it wasn't clear. 

Now... I won't be able to tag people because I don’t know many people here and I feel like I’ll bother people if I tag them. I'm very sorry, I'm taking it one step at a time... T_T

Once again thanks for tagging me and thanks to anyone who read through that gigantic me post/Novecento review.

To Sleep...

A flock of sheep that leisurely pass by

One after one; the sound of rain, and bees

Murmuring; the fall of rivers, winds and seas,

Smooth fields, white sheets of water, and pure sky -

I've thought of all by turns, and still I lie

Sleepless...~William Wordsworth
