E a vencedora do desafio de hoje é a Fada!

Submarine (Adorable)

I'd like to be alone
Away from your port of stone
But your lighthouse is calling out
You, coming up for air
Have locked on to my distressed flare
Run aground, all hands going down

You are like a submarine
Gliding under me
And you hounded me out, you hounded me down

Though your submarine is out of sight
Still you're haunting me like the harbour lights
Though your submarine is out of sight
Still you're haunting me
Though your submarine is out of sight
Still you're haunting me like the harbour lights
Though your submarine is out of sight
Still you're haunting me

I could not lose you
Even if I choose to
Hear your sonar call, under my hull

You are like a submarine
Tracking onto me
And you hounding me out, you're hounding me down

Though your submarine is out of sight
Still you're haunting me like the harbour lights
Though your submarine is out of sight
Still you're haunting me
Though your submarine is out of sight
Still you're haunting me like the harbour lights
Though your submarine is out of sight
Still you're haunting me

Though your submarine is out of sight
Still you're haunting me like the harbour lights
Though your submarine is out of sight
Still you're haunting me

Belíssima música, banda fantástica (que acabou cedo demais, só gravou dois discos) e lembranças maravilhosas de um very special lad...

Amanhã tem mais :)

Getting Away with It (Electronic)

I've been walking in the rain just to get wet on purpose
I've been forcing myself not to forget just to feel worse
I've been getting away with it all my life (getting away)
However I look it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
I hate that mirror, it makes me feel so worthless
I'm an original sinner but when I'm with you couldn't care less
I've been getting away with it all my life
Getting away with it all my life
I thought I gave up falling in love a long long time ago
I guess I like it but I can't tell you, you shouldn't really know
And it's been true all my life
Yes, it's been true all my life
I've been talking to myself just to suggest that I'm selfish
(Getting ahead)
I've been trying to impress that more is less and I'm repressed
(I should do what he said)
Getting away with it...

Da coluna do Lucio Ribeiro de hoje:

COLDPLAY A UMA ASSINATURA: SEGUNDO SEMESTRE

Está tudo certo entre o projeto Visa Sounds e a banda Coldplay, para um show em São Paulo (Credicard Hall) e outro no Rio de Janeiro (ATL Hall), em uma data de setembro ou outubro, a ser acertada.
Falta só a banda inglesa campeã de 2002 assinar o contrato da turnê brasileira, viável apenas depois que o grupo de Chris Martin estrelar os festivais europeus.
O Coldplay era atração decantada para vir a Curitiba em março em meio a um elenco que transformaria o festival paranaense em um evento dos sonhos, o melhor de todos os tempos.
Mas a banda que forjou o melhor disco do ano passado deve mesmo vir no Visa Sounds, que está trazendo o estiloso Bryan Ferry em fevereiro, tem confirmado o guitarrista virtuoooooooooso Joe Satriani e arma outra aparição no país da banda teen Silverchair, para maio.

Winnie, prepara o sofá-cama aí... :)

E a Helo venceu o desafio de ontem! Aqui vai a letra completa de Motorcycle Emptiness, dos meus adorados Manic Street Preachers:

Culture sucks down words
Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto

Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power

Just like lungs sucking on air
Survivals natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness

Drive away and it's the same
Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt political shit

Living life like a comatose
Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow

Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness everlasting nothingness

Do blog do Expe:

Quem vai ser o novo guitarrista do Blur?

O Blur está procurando guitarristas para ocupar o cargo deixado vago desde a saída de Graham Coxon, no ano passado. A banda vem fazendo testes com vários candidatos e, recentemente, o vocalista Damon Albarn declarou que um guitarrista de uma banda conhecida do norte da Inglaterra "se encaixaria perfeitamente" no Blur. Foi só a declaração ser publicada e os rumores começaram a voar soltos. O mais comentado entre os prováveis substitutos é o ex- Verve Nick McCabe. Mesmo assim, fala-se muito a respeito de Johnny Marr, eterno guitarrista do Smiths, e de John Squire, ex-Stone Roses. Outros nomes que correm por fora são os de Mark Day, ex-Happy Mondays, Paul Banks, do Shed Seven e Richard McNamara, do Embrace. Por outro lado, o baixista Alex James diz que vão ser necessários dois guitarristas para preencher a vaga. O primeiro single do novo trabalho dos caras, "Out Of Time", deverá ser lançado no fim de abril e o disco, ainda sem nome, deverá sair logo depois.

Putz, Nick McCabe é um senhor guitarrista... e eu também gosto muito do Richard McNamara (aliás, eu amo Embrace). John Squire seria um sonho... Johnny Marr eu acho difícil, já que ele está envolvido no trabalho com a própria banda.

Trilha sonora do dia (do Greatest Hits, que eu achei em promoção ontem na Siciliano do shopping)

Ordinary World (Duran Duran)

Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
still I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away

But I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
and as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say
"Pride will tear us both apart"
Well now pride's gone out the window
cross the rooftops, run away
left me in the vacuum of my heart
What is happening to me?
Crazy, some'd say
Where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone away

but I won't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
somehow I have to find
and as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

Papers in the roadside tell of suffering and greed
here today, forgot tomorrow
ooh, here besides the news of holy war and holy need
ours is just a little sorrowed talk

And I don't cry for yesterday
there's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
and as I try to make my way
to the ordinary world
I will learn to survive

every one
is my world, I will learn to survive
any one
is my world, I will learn to survive
any one
is my world
every one
is my world

U-hu!

Jude Law é preferido dos fãs para próximo 007

O ator inglês Jude Law ficou em primeiro lugar em uma pesquisa feita entre fãs de cinema para protagonizar o próximo filme do charmoso agente secreto James Bond.
O astro de 30 anos recebeu mais de um quarto da votação da revista Total Film, terminando um pouco à frente do astro escocês Ewan McGregor.

O editor da Total Film, Matt Mueller, disse que Law tem um fator de elegância que o coloca à frente da concorrência.

"Acho que Jude Law tem uma sofisticação de alta classe, elegantíssima, que as pessoas associam a James Bond", disse ele. "Mais do que Ewan McGregor e Christian Bale, que chegaram perto."

O atual 007, Pierce Brosnan, comprometeu-se a fazer um quinto filme, mas disse que poderá estar velho demais para um sexto.

"É preciso estamina para este papel. Quero sair do palco com graça", disse ele no ano passado.

A lista de atores e astros pop que foram vinculados a Bond é imensa, contando com o australiano Russell Crowe, o ator inglês Clive Owen e o cantor britânico Robbie Williams.

Do Terra:

Assessor diz que Massa deve fechar com Jordan até sexta

André Rossi

São Paulo – O assessor do brasileiro Felipe Massa, Marcio Fonseca, disse nesta terça-feira que as negociações entre o piloto e equipe Jordan estão bem adiantadas, mas um contrato ainda não foi assinado.

"Esperamos resolver nas próximas horas. Não tem nada assinado, mas eu acho que até o final da semana teremos uma definição", disse Fonseca, com exclusividade para o Terra Esportes.

Massa teria conseguido firmar um acordo com a Ford Brasil e a Petrobrás que garantiu US$ 4 milhões para a escuderia, condição básica para o acerto, já que a Jordan vive grave crise financeira.

"Na Fórmula um a coisa é complicada. O acerto está próximo, mas enquanto não tiver nada assinado, não existe confirmação", completou o assessor.

A Jordan, por sua vez, tem pressa na confirmação de seu segundo piloto já que a temporada de testes das equipes já começou e a corrida de estréia da temporada está marcada para o dia nove de março em Melbourne, na Austrália.

A respeito do bafafá sobre a indicação de Cidade de Deus ao Bafta: quem me conhece sabe que definitivamente eu não sou uma pessoa ufanista... estou torcendo pelo filme porque é uma obra cinematográfica maravilhosa, não pura e simplesmente por ser brasileiro. Se Orfeu, por exemplo, tivesse sido indicado ao Oscar, eu morreria de vergonha ao invés de torcer.

Acho legal que o cinema brasileiro ganhe um prêmio importante, não pelo significado do prêmio - muitas vezes meramente comercial - mas sim pelos incentivos que isto traria a muita gente talentosa que está ralando muito aqui e merece uma chance de trabalhar, mesmo não tendo tido a sorte de nascer em um país onde cultura e arte sejam prioridades.

Break a leg, Dadinho!

"Pilgrimage" (Suzanne Vega)

This line is burning
Turning to ash as it hits the air
Every step is a day in the week
It's a Sunday or Monday
A march over months of the year

This life is burning
Turning to ash as it hits the air
Every death is an end in the race
It's a stopping and starting
A march over millions of years

Travel. Arrival
Years of an inch and a step
Toward a source
I'm coming to you
I'll be there in time

This land is burning
Turning to ash as it hits the air
Every line is a place on a map
It's a city or valley
A mark on these miles of fields

Travel. Arrival
Years of an inch and a step
Toward a source
I'm coming to you
I'll be there in time

This line is burning
Turning to ash as it hits the air
Every step is a day in the week
It's a Wednesday or Thursday
A march over months of the year

Travel. Arrival
Years of an inch and a step
Toward a source
I'm coming to you
I'll be there in time

I'm coming to you
I'll be there in time

Take this
Mute mouth
Broken tongue.
Now this
Dark life
Is shot through with light

Mais diálogos brilhantes da cachola perturbada do Mr. Guy Ritchie. O filme é "Jogos, Trapaças e Dois Canos Fumegantes" (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) e poucas vezes eu ri tanto na minha vida num espaço de duas horas.

Eddie: They're armed.
Soap: Armed, armed with what?
Eddie: Err, bad breath, colorful language, feather duster... what do you think they're gonna be armed with? Guns, you tit!


Plank: Ah! They shot me!
Dog: Well, shoot em back!

John: Jesus, Plank, couldn't you have got smokeless cartridges? I can't see a bloody thi-- Ah! I've been shot!
Dog: Look, will everyone stop gettin' shot?

Essa semana vai ser punk-rock-hardcore total... seguindo o meu hábito suicida de deixar tudo pra última hora, vou ter que dar conta dos dois trabalhos da pós até a sexta-feira (já combinei com a minha parceira de estudos, a Renata, pra amanhã e quinta), e obviamente isso vem em cima do último módulo do curso de férias e mais os meus dois alunos executivos.

Ainda bem que a sessão de treinamento lá na escola de Setúbal foi semana passada, ou eu estaria em maus lençóis.

Mas como eu sempre dou um jeito de me divertir em meio ao stress, já marquei dose dupla de cinema: quarto round de As Duas Torres na terça, com a Gal e a Juliane; e Femme Fatale, o novo do Brian DePalma, na sexta com a Lau :)

O fim dos fumódromos

Em 2005 a propaganda de cigarros na F1 vai virar fumaça. E isso pode ser uma boa notícia

Por Lemyr Martins, jornalista, escritor e colaborador de QUATRO RODAS

Richard Sucre, ex-vice presidente de marketing da Philip Morris, explicava que sua organização investe forte no automobilismo porque considera os pilotos caubóis da era moderna e, como tal, é fácil a associação da Fórmula 1 com a terra de Marlboro.

Também a imagem milionária e o espírito de aventura do circo levaram outras multinacionais de tabaco a anunciarem fartamente na F-1 e garantirem às suas escuderias os títulos mundiais nos últimos 30 anos.

Agora, pressionada pelas leis antitabagistas de vários países, a Federação Internacional de Automobilismo, FIA, capitulou e comunicou à Organização Mundial de Saúde que 2005 será a última temporada em que os carros anunciarão cigarros. Daí o pânico na F1.

Onde a McLaren arranjará um parceiro tão fiel como o Marlboro, com quem teve um casamento que chegou às bodas de prata, iniciado com Emerson Fittipaldi em 1974 e só terminado em 1998, após nove títulos mundiais de pilotos?

Muitas equipes tradicionais venderam seu nome ao patrocinador em troca do conforto financeiro. Marlboro-McLaren, agora West-McLaren, Rothmans-Williams ou Winfield-Williams, Mild-Seven-Benetton e, quem diria, a Scuderia Ferrrari-Marlboro. Isso sem falar na Lucky Strike-BAR, a Benson and Hedges-Jordan, Ligier-
Gitanes, Lotus-Camel e outros menos fumados. Todas seguidoras da idéia pioneira de Colin Chapman, o homem que transformou a F-1 num bom veículo para propaganda de tabaco, ao mudar a identidade de suas Lotus 72 para Gold Leaf, cigarros light, em 1970.

É chegada a hora de os homens de marketing da Associação dos Construtores procurarem ouro em outras minas. Mas isso não chega a ser uma grande novidade, pois os times de F-1 já descobriram os mais diferentes financiadores.

A estóica Minardi, impotente para conquistar uma grande multinacional para vender o nome, chegou a ter 26 pequenos patrocinadores numa única temporada. Foi chamada de “anúncios classificados”, por misturar perfume com lingüiça, macarrão com seguro de vida, jeans com lubrificantes e patins, no rodapé do carro.
Os Williams das vacas magras do início da década de 70 anunciavam cerâmica, brinquedos infantis, lâmpadas e tubos de aço.

Embora o tabaco fosse o filão mais generoso, sempre valeu tudo em matéria de patrocínio na F-1. Em 1977, quando a Aids não ameaçava o amor livre e a camisinha era usada apenas na limitação de filhos, John Surtees lançou em seus carros o surpreendente patrocínio dos preservativos Durex. O austríaco Vern Schuppan e o australiano Larry Perkins competiram duas temporadas com Surtees TS11 anticoncepcional.

Mas a F-1 mudou muito desde a novidade da camisinha. Está inflacionada. As equipes de ponta ultrapassam o orçamento anual dos 250 milhões de dólares, esticando cada vez mais a diferença técnica entre as grandes e as escuderias médias. Talvez o fato de os dólares do fumo serem obrigados a abandonar as pistas traga descobertas financeiras mais equilibradas, tornando a F-1 mais competitiva.

Roubado descaradamente do blog de um paulistano que eu adoro: o Expe :)



Me chamam de louca quando eu digo que tenho o mar na minha janela mas prefiro concreto e aço. Mas a minha fascinação por grandes cidades é fato. Eu me sinto muito melhor andando na Paulista do que caminhando no calçadão de Boa Viagem. Cada louco com sua loucura, não acham?

E São Paulo sempre me deu presentes sem preço: a bestest friend é paulistana, Interlagos fica em Sampa (só isso já justifica uma visitinha anual), minhas férias de janeiro foram as melhores desde Londres/98...

Daqui a dois meses eu mato as saudades :)

Saturday afternoon


Cena de Star Wars: episode I

Acabou que a gente marcou tudo de última hora, mas foi uma das melhores tardes do ano, na casa da Gal, mesmo com a tristeza envolvendo a situação, e com uns contratempozinhos que sempre aparecem... mas acho que a gente conseguiu animar o Du, e era isso o que mais importava. De qualquer modo, sempre que a gente se junta, a química (que também existe em amizades) funciona. Gal e sua idéia maluca de assistir a segunda trilogia de Star Wars inteira (o que resultou em todos voltarmos pra casa às três da manhã), Juliane e suas pizzas (foram quatro Appreciattas no decorrer da farra "estelar"), Nanda e Diego com as palhaçadas de costume e a alegria de costume, eu e as minhas tiradas impagáveis (como a idéia de usar a Marcha Imperial de Star Wars pra entrar na igreja no dia do meu fictício casamento), e Du, que mesmo tendo passado por uma semana punk, consegue manter o bom-humor. Como eu disse à Gal e à Nanda ontem, é incrível que há um ano a gente nem se conhecesse. Parece uma eternidade.

Address To Edinburgh

1786


Edina! Scotia's darling seat!
All hail thy palaces and tow'rs,
Where once, beneath a Monarch's feet,
Sat Legislation's sov'reign pow'rs:
From marking wildly scatt'red flow'rs,
As on the banks of Ayr I stray'd,
And singing, lone, the lingering hours,
I shelter in they honour'd shade.

Here Wealth still swells the golden tide,
As busy Trade his labours plies;
There Architecture's noble pride
Bids elegance and splendour rise:
Here Justice, from her native skies,
High wields her balance and her rod;
There Learning, with his eagle eyes,
Seeks Science in her coy abode.

Thy sons, Edina, social, kind,
With open arms the stranger hail;
Their views enlarg'd, their liberal mind,
Above the narrow, rural vale:
Attentive still to Sorrow's wail,
Or modest Merit's silent claim;
And never may their sources fail!
And never Envy blot their name!

Thy daughters bright thy walks adorn,
Gay as the gilded summer sky,
Sweet as the dewy, milk-white thorn,
Dear as the raptur'd thrill of joy!
Fair Burnet strikes th' adoring eye,
Heaven's beauties on my fancy shine;
I see the Sire of Love on high,
And own His work indeed divine!

There, watching high the least alarms,
Thy rough, rude fortress gleams afar;
Like some bold veteran, grey in arms,
And mark'd with many a seamy scar:
The pond'rous wall and massy bar,
Grim-rising o'er the rugged rock,
Have oft withstood assailing war,
And oft repell'd th' invader's shock.

With awe-struck thought, and pitying tears,
I view that noble, stately Dome,
Where Scotia's kings of other years,
Fam'd heroes! had their royal home:
Alas, how chang'd the times to come!
Their royal name low in the dust!
Their hapless race wild-wand'ring roam!
Tho' rigid Law cries out 'twas just!

Wild beats my heart to trace your steps,
Whose ancestors, in days of yore,
Thro' hostile ranks and ruin'd gaps
Old Scotia's bloody lion bore:
Ev'n I who sing in rustic lore,
Haply my sires have left their shed,
And fac'd grim Danger's loudest roar,
Bold-following where your fathers led!

Edina! Scotia's darling seat!
All hail thy palaces and tow'rs;
Where once, beneath a Monarch's feet,
Sat Legislation's sovereign pow'rs:
From marking wildly-scatt'red flow'rs,
As on the banks of Ayr I stray'd,
And singing, lone, the ling'ring hours,
I shelter in thy honour'd shade.

Step back and watch the sweet thing
breaking everything she sees
she can take my darkest feeling
tear it up till i'm on me knees
plug into her electric cool
where things bend and break
and shake to the rule
talking fast couldn't tell me something
i would shed my skin for you
talking fast on the edge of nothing
i would break my back for you
don't know why, don't know why
things vaporise and rise to the sky
and we tried so hard
and we looked so good
and we lived our lives in black
but something about you felt like pain
you were my sunny day rain
you were the clouds in the sky
you were the darkest sky
but your lips spoke gold and honey
that's why i'm happy when it rains
i'm happy when it pours
looking at me enjoying something
that feels like feels like pain
to my brain
and if i tell you something
you take me back to nothing
i'm on the edge of something
you take me back
and i'm happy when it rains

Move closer, set my mind on fire
Taking over, the world seems so alive
The world seems so alive

She slips into the night, and she is gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her

Down in the basement, listening to the rain
Thinking things over. I think it over again
I think it over again

She slips into the night, and she was gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her

I'm riding it down, listen to the rain
She'll be here soon, I lie back and drift away
I lie back and drift away.

She slips into the night, and she was gone
Gone to settle the score, gone into the town
Rain shining in her eyes
Her brother started school
Again today, a thought to pass the time
To occupy my mind, while I'm waiting for her

I'm feeling so alive, feeling so real
On a stormy night, the rain is coming down
Rain like never before
I've got some records on, some bottles of wine
On a stormy night, the rain is lashing down
And I'm waiting for her

Do Uol:

Oasis regrava "Wonderwall" inspirado por versão de Ryan Adams

da Redação

O grupo inglês Oasis regravou a canção "Wonderwall", o maior sucesso de sua carreira, durante as festa de final de ano, informou o site do semanário inglês New Musical Express (NME) nesta quarta.

Segundo fontes citadas pelo NME, a nova versão da música é totalmente diferente da anterior e traz o guitarrista Noel Gallagher nos vocais, ao invés de seu irmão Liam, o cantor do grupo.

Rumores indicam que a regravação pode ter sido inspirada pelo cantor americano Ryan Adams.

Noel teria se interessado novamente por "Wonderwall" após ouvir uma cover da música em um show de Adams.

A faixa faz parte do segundo CD da banda, "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?", de 1995.

Não foi informado quando a nova versão de "Wonderwall" será lançada pelo Oasis.

Danny Boyle fala sobre Trainspotting 2 (do Omelete)
Por Érico Borgo



Durante uma pré-estréia de Extermínio (28 days later, 2002) nos Estados Unidos, o site Screen Daily conversou com Danny Boyle sobre a continuação de Trainspotting (idem, 1996).

O diretor disse que a seqüência, baseada no romance Porno, de Irvine Welsh, reúne todas as personagens do filme original, 10 anos depois. Ele também garantiu que é essencial que todo o elenco volte à produção, incluindo Ewan McGregor, Robert Carlyle e Jonny Lee Miller. O problema, segundo Boyle, é que "nenhum deles mudou! Eu preciso que eles pareçam mais velhos, mais acabados, mas parece que todos os atores passaram os últimos anos passando creme facial de vitamina E". Obviamente, não é assim tão difícil envelhecer um ator... o pior seria conseguir reunir todo o grupo novamente, o que, aparentemente, Boyle já conseguiu.

O último filme do diretor, Extermínio, obteve ótima aceitação na Inglaterra e chega aos cinemas brasileiros em 14 de fevereiro. Nós já assistimos e garantimos (alguns de nós, pelo menos...) que, apesar de forte, a produção é interessantíssima e vale a pena ser conferida. Boyle atualmente está trabalhando na adaptação de Porno para as telas ao lado de John Hodge, com quem já trabalhou em Cova rasa (Shallow grave, 1994), Por uma vida menos ordinária (A life less ordinary, 1997) e no roteiro de Trainspotting.

Apesar de tantas novidades sobre o filme, o diretor revelou que seu próximo projeto será Millions, uma comédia ambientada num futuro próximo, no qual o Reino Unido altera sua moeda da tradicional Libra para o Euro. O roteiro é de Frank Cottrell Boyce, de A festa nunca termina (24 Hour Party People, de Michael Winterbottom, 2002).

Ewan McGregor animado com Trainspotting 2

O escocês Ewan McGregor, mais conhecido como o Obi-Wan Kenobi da nova trilogia de Star wars, disse que gostaria de reprisar seu papel em Trainspotting, se o roteiro da continuação for bom.

O astro de Moulin Rouge leu o romance de Irvine Welsh, intitulado Porno, e ficou interessado em retornar ao papel de Mark Renton, que o lançou ao estrelato em 1996.

McGregor e o diretor Danny Boyle recentemente passaram algum tempo juntos discutindo o projeto. Na ocasião, o cineasta entregou o livro ao ator para que ele pudesse conhecer melhor a história. "Depois de ler Porno, eu pensei 'preciso mesmo voltar a viver Renton?' e achei melhor não por acreditar que nós não conseguiríamos fazer algo tão bom quanto o original. Mas depois, pensei que foi muito bacana descobrir onde estavam todos as personagens - Sick Boy, Wee Spud e Begbie - e achei que foi muito divertido ter lido", revelou McGregor. Todavia, mesmo com tanto entusiasmo pelo romance, o ator só vai assinar na linha pontilhada depois de ler o roteiro para o cinema.

O resto do elenco, incluindo Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle e Ewen Bremner, já garantiram que também voltarão ao filme.

Schumacher bate o carro em seu primeiro treino

BARCELONA (Reuters) - O campeão mundial de Fórmula 1 Michael Schumacher sofreu um acidente na terça-feira em sua primeira volta com a Ferrari desde outubro.

"Ele veio sorrindo e disse 'opa, foi um bom início de temporada"', afirmou sua porta-voz, Sabine Kehm, após o acidente no circuito da Catalunha.

O acidente não foi sério. O carro rodou e atingiu a barreira de pneus, destruindo a asa traseira.

Schumacher venceu 11 das 17 corridas na temporada passada, e vai tentar neste ano o recorde de seis títulos.

Schumacher não pilotava seu carro desde o dia de comemoração da Ferrari na Itália, no fim de semana após a última corrida do campeonato, no Japão. Ele passou as férias na Noruega.

Do blog da Elo, notícias da F-1:

FIA oferece US$1 mi por denúncia de trapaça com novas regras

Por Alan Baldwin

LONDRES (Reuters) - A Federação Internacional de Automobilismo (FIA) ofereceu uma recompensa de 1 milhão de dólares para qualquer um que forneça evidências de trapaça, assim como pesadas multas para as equipes culpadas.

Um porta-voz da FIA confirmou no sábado que a oferta foi feita para encorajar 'delatores' depois que um pacote de medidas técnicas foi introduzida na categoria.

O presidente da FIA, Max Mosley, anunciou na quarta-feira que a telemetria, que permite que engenheiros mudem as configurações do carro à distância, e que a comunicação via rádio estão proibidos.

Outras medidas para cortar custos e aprimorar a corrida incluem a eliminação, até 2004, dos chamados 'apoios ao piloto', como o controle de tração e de largada.

"Os mecanismos de apoio ao piloto não poderão ser usados a partir de 2004, mas estamos ficando cada vez mais céticos em relação à incapacidade das equipes de desligar todos os controles de partida dos carros e outras ajudas aos pilotos para a temporada de 2003", disse a fonte à Reuters.

"Estamos considerando multas pesadas para qualquer equipe flagrada usando sistemas ilegais. E, além das nossas inspeções técnicas, também estamos considerando uma recompensa de 1 milhão de dólares para qualquer informação que nos leve à convicção de que uma equipe esteja atuando ilegalmente."

"A FIA já deixou claro que pretendemos trabalhar com tolerância zero."

DESLIGADO

Duas das 10 equipes de Fórmula 1 dessa temporada, uma delas a BAR/Honda, já experimentaram em testes desligar os sistemas de controles de tração e largada. O controle de tração reduz o giro em falso das rodas, particularmente numa pista molhada, enquanto o controle de partida permite uma saída rápida e suave do grid de largada com um toque de um botão no volante.

O jornal The Sun e o italiano Gazzetta dello Sport informaram que o britânico Jenson Button testou seu carro esta semana, em Barcelona, sem esses sistemas.

"A BAR desligou os sistemas e foi relativamente fácil. Uma outra equipe também mostrou que é possível desligá-los antes de Melbourne, sem problemas", disse a fonte da FIA.

Os chefes das 10 equipe se reuniram com Mosley e Bernie Ecclestone em Londres, na quarta-feira, e as equipes menores, que também receberam ajuda com dinheiro extra para a próxima temporada, gostaram das novas medidas.

Os chefes-técnicos das equipes se encontraram com o diretor de prova e chefe-técnico da FIA, Charlie Whiting na sexta-feira, para discutir a possibilidade de se banir o controle de saída dos carros já nessa temporada. A Gazzetta revelou que as conversas foram longas e acaloradas, com algumas equipes desejando a permanência dos sistemas nesta temporada e outras forçando um imediato desligamento.

Que letra incrível.

You Were Right (Badly Drawn Boy)

And you,
Were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery
Well the good things are never free
Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?
And I,
Was rushing round in circles for a reason to believe
Wipe the slime from off your sleeve
You could follow me for weeks
And I'm not going anywhere
Sometimes it's hard to love someone
Till the day that they are gone

And I
Just had a dream the other night
I was married to the Queen
And Madonna lived next door
I think she took a shine to me
And the kids were all grown up
But I had to turn her down
'Cos I was still in love with you

I'm turning Madonna down
I'm calling it my best move
I'll get her tickets to what she needs

I remember doing nothing on the night Sinatra died
And the night Jeff Buckley died
And the night Kurt Cobain died
And the night John Lennon died
I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone
And that was a lot of nights
And that was a lot of lives
Who lost the tickets to what they need?

And I
Was busy finding answers while you just got on with real life
Always hoped you'd be my wife
But I never found the time
For the question to arrive
I just disguised it in a song

And songs are never quite the answer
Just a soundtrack to a life
That is over all too soon
Helps to turn the days to night
While I was wrong and you were right

And this was a lesson learned
I'm happy to be your fool
And get you tickets to what you need

I'm turning the lights down low
I'm ready to make my move
I'll get you tickets to what you need

Darling you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

Always tease tease tease
You're happy when I'm on my knees
One day is fine, next day is black
So if you want me off your back
Well come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An' if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know

This indecision's bugging me
If you don't want me, set me free
Exactly who'm I'm supposed to be
Don't you know which clothes even fit me?
Come on and let me know
Should I cool it or should I blow?

Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
