Orson Welles / Moby Dick..Call me Ismael..

...fantasma della vita...

Can one find this narration for the entire book?

there's something wrong when actors like orson go unappreciated, while transformers 2 makes millions.

What kind of fucked up world are we living in?

It's like TS Eliot said, humans cannot bear very much reality, which is why they consume senseless horse shit in great droves

i have to agree. THIS is a real man - the world is in need of a man like this

Welles did the voice of Unicron for the original Transformers movie. One of his last ever roles.

I know. shame.

I didn't like that at all. There was humor in that beginning part but it is cut out here and he really overdoes the rest.

grande. epico. biblico.

Thank you, telerompo. The odd bits and pieces of Welles's unfinished films are fascinating. I can't imagine any venue in which access to such treasures could be found other than YouTube. For those looking for a fully-realized but little-known Welles gem, his final completed feature was his broadly comic yet deeply felt "essay film" on art, experts, life and lies, "F For Fake," of which excerpts are available here, and the whole film on an excellent DVD from Criterion Collection.

It felt like I was listening to Ishmael as if we were having a conversation over a beer, real, candid and so casual as to be absolutely and vividly believeable. A recitation ability to aspire to.
