Everything is ready...
Everything is ready for our "anti-Halloween" party! What? You don't know what an ant-Halloween party is?
Well...since we were never used to celebrate Hallowee,n every year when the 31th of October arrives, we always end up doing nothing, spending the entire evening around our villages and wondering why all those kids are acting as if it's Carnival (well, that one is something older people say!). So this year , my mother, my sister, my brother, my boyfriend (poor him, he loves me so much!) and I decided to "do nothing", but in a very special way: we're going to spend all the evening eating junk food and watching "The Cosby Show" reruns on TV. It seems a sad thing, but believe me: even after so many years I still love that series.
Now that I think about it, I just found out that the family's surname is different in the Italian dub: yes, because in the original show the main characters are the Huxtables, but in Italy we always have known them as the Robinson. It's not that I hate the Italian voice acting (on the contrary: Bill Cosby's Italian voice actor was Ferruccio Amendola, and I think whoever watched the Italian version of "Taxi Driver" may agree with me saying he was great), but I wonder... why did the Italian translators think that changing the names was a good idea? Oh, wait...I've almost forgotten that in the 90s the show was aired on the same channel where they aired "The Nanny": in that series Italian translation the main character wasn't an American Jew, but an Italian migrant...Oh, Mediaset...you are so predictable sometimes! I'm not going to talk abuout the funny translations of the names of the anime chacarcters, also because they we're badly influenced by 4kids (so this was not entirely their fault...).
So, I have to go. Happy Halloween to everyone who celebrates it! I hope you have fun this night! = )
