[62] Ao Tim Burton...

Esta é a minha mais recente aquisição...

É uma delícia! :)
Editado pela editora Antígona, o livro "A Morte Melancólica do Rapaz Ostra & Outras Estórias", de Tim Burton remonta-nos, como já é habitual do autor, para os ambientes melancólicos das paisagens descritas por Edgar Alan Poe... Tim Burton é um dos mais reconhecidos animadores da actualidade e quem é fã já conhece as suas peculiares caricaturas de personagens infantis...
Eu sou uma fã incondicional, já o li e achei-o absolutamente divinal... Recomendo! ;)

Já agora, aqui estão uns trechos em shockwave de alguns dos seus filmes para apreciarem...

"I'm Gonna Make A Change,
For Once In My Life
It's Gonna Feel Real Good,
Gonna Make A Difference
Gonna Make It Right . . .

As I, Turn Up The Collar On My
Favourite Winter Coat
This Wind Is Blowin' My Mind
I See The Kids In The Street,
With Not Enough To Eat
Who Am I, To Be Blind?
Pretending Not To See
Their Needs
A Summer's Disregard,
A Broken Bottle Top
And A One Man's Soul
They Follow Each Other On
The Wind Ya' Know
'Cause They Got Nowhere
To Go
That's Why I Want You To
Know

I'm Starting With The Man In
The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change
His Ways
And No Message Could Have
Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World
A Better Place

World A Better Place)
Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change
(Take A Look At Yourself, And
Then Make A Change)
(Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na,
Na Nah)

I've Been A Victim Of A Selfish
Kind Of Love
It's Time That I Realize
That There Are Some With No
Home, Not A Nickel To Loan
Could It Be Really Me,
Pretending That They're Not
Alone?

A Willow Deeply Scarred,
Somebody's Broken Heart
And A Washed-Out Dream
(Washed-Out Dream)
They Follow The Pattern Of
The Wind, Ya' See
Cause They Got No Place
To Be
That's Why I'm Starting With
Me
(Starting With Me!)

(You Gotta Get It Right, While
You Got The Time)
('Cause When You Close Your
Heart)
You Can't Close Your . . .Your
Mind!
(Then You Close Your . . .
Mind!)
That Man, That Man, That
Man, That Man
With That Man In The Mirror

[59] Como se chamam os habitantes de Évora?

Um alentejano vai a um concurso de televisão e o apresentador pergunta:
- Como se chamam os habitantes de Évora?
Após 4 minutos de silêncio, o alentejano responde:
- Porra, todos, todos na sei...

[58] Something Stupid

Ora, estava a arrumar o meu quartinho quando dei de caras com um cedêzinho do Robbie Williams, muito antiguinho... Eu até nem gosto do rapazinho mas, pronto, (ofereceram-me o cd!) e deu-me uma saudadinha de ouvir "Something Stupid", uma musiquinha muito fofinha e docinha e um pouco simplezinha...

E perguntam vocês: "Porque raio 20% (mais coisinha menos coisinha) das palavrinhas deste postzinho são diminutivozinhos?". Decerto a Vânia deve saber a resposta... Lol

"I know I stand in line
Until you think you have the time
To spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance
You won't be leaving with me

Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you

I can see it in your eyes
You still despise the same old lines
You heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you
For me it's true
And never seemed so right before

I practice every day to find some clever
lines to say
To make the meaning come true
But then I think I'll wait until the evening
gets late
And I'm alone with you

The time is right
Your perfume fills my head
The stars get red
And oh the night's so blue
And then I go and spoil it all
By saying something stupid
Like I love you
I love you..."

"Something Stupid" - Robbie Williams

[57] Diálogo do dia

T. - Comecei a ler "O retrato de Dorian Gray" e estou, simplesmente, a adorar...
A. - "O retrato de Dorian Gray"? Esse filme já tem cerca de 20, 30 anos!
T. - Incrível, como mesmo um século depois, o tema continua a fazer sentido.
A. - Um século? Então se o filme tem 20, 30 anos...!
T. - Filme? Quem é que falou em filme? Os filmes matam a essência dos livros.
A. - Uii, essa foi profunda!
T. - Foi, não foi? Oscar Wilde inspira-me.

"Listen now my sweet and
I didn't mean to cause you pain
We could have spent our summer
Sitting here making daisychains

I lie awake at night
Staring at my roof
Now you're gone

For weeks I've had your pretty face
hanging in my brain
It's suspended like the reflection
In a window pane

You hang just like a ghost
Over city streets
Now you're gone

How could i begin to finish
What i couldnt start
I'm more general hey ???
Than napolean blown apart???

Oh go now just leave
No more words please
Now you're gone

Listen now my sweet and
I didn't mean to cause you pain
I could have spent all summer
Sitting here making daisy chains

I lie awake at night
Staring at my roof
Now you're gone"

[52] Tenho tido pouca sorte

Ultimamente, a sorte não me tem sorrido e os caminhos da felicidade andam um pouco tortuosos... Três assaltos, um atropelamento, desilusões...
Mas eu não me rendo, portanto, continuo a fazer por sorrir, mesmo que a vontade não seja muita e esforço-me por encarar a vida sempre de frente, com a cabeça levantada! Algum dia, a sorte voltará e a minha vida brilhará com mais intensidade...
(Comprei uma velinha de dupla sorte com a seguinte oração: "Divino poder da Sorte, vem até mim em todas as necessidades que eu tenha, duplica a minha sorte em tudo o que eu faça, que tudo me traga múltiplas bênçãos e eu abençoo o Senhor por ele me inundar com as suas dádivas. Oh! Meu Senhor, concede-me este favor e preenche a minha alma com alegria.")

Há que tentar de tudo! :)

E, já agora, porque tem a ver » Ben Harper - Better Way



"I'm a living sunset
Lightning in my bones
Push me to the edge
But my will is stone

Fools will be fools
And wise will be wise
But i will look this world
Straight in the eyes

What good is a man
Who won't take a stand
What good is a cynic
With no better plan

Reality is sharp
It cuts at me like a knife
Everyone i know
Is in the fight of their life

Take your face out of your hands
And clear your eyes
You have a right to your dreams
And don't be denied

I believe in a better way"


"Better Way" - Ben Harper

[51] Ao mestre...

Faz-me recordar o concerto a que assisti no Rock in Rio 2004...

Ben Harper - Diamonds On The Inside

[50] The Kill

Gostei da originalidade do videoclip e faz-me recordar as noites de Praga (aquelas que passamos no hotel, a ver a GoTV ou, então, "A Herança" na versão italiana... lol)!

30 Seconds to Mars - The Kill




" What if I wanted to break
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do?
What if I fell to the floor
Couldn't take all this anymore
What would you do, do, do?

Come, break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you

What if I wanted to fight
Beg for the rest of my life
What would you do?
You say you wanted more
What are you waiting for
I'm not running from you

Come, break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you

I tried to be someone else
But note I really am inside
FINALLY FOUND MYSELF
FIGHTING FOR A CHANCE
I know now, this is who I really am

Come, break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you, you, you
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you
Come, break me down (bury me, bury me)
Break me down (bury me, bury me)
Break me down (bury me, bury me)

What if I wanted to break...?
What if I, what if I, what if I..."
