Em maio de 1977 estreava o primeiro filme da saga Guerra nas Estrelas, o episódio 4 - A New Hope.
Na época eu era um garoto de sete anos e lembro de ter conseguido ir ao filme sete vezes durante aquela temporada. Cabalístico, não? Nesta última quinta, dia 20 de setembro de 2007, ocorreu a exibição de cópias restauradas do filme aqui em San Pablo, o que ,segundo um dos organizadores, exigiu uma espécie de "downgrade" tecnológico por parte da empresa administradora das salas. Evento fechado, mucha pipoca mucha (velha) e coca-cola sem gás "de grátis", e a presença de Anthony Daniels, o ator que interpreta C3PO, como MC do evento. Carismático e inteligente, Daniels interagiu com maestria com os fãs. Fez perguntas sobre diálogos e até pediu para os mais maníacos repetirem sua fala inicial durante a exibição do filme. Great, but... aconteceu o pior: Iniciada a projeção, o famoso texto flutuante começou a subir e eis que uma voz em português apareceu! Pensei "Não lembro disso...Será que o filme é dublado?" Mal sinal! Aguardei pela primeira fala e..."a força" virou "sessão da tarde"... Seguiu-se um "ahhh" coletivo e muitos choramingos. Abandonei a sessão imediatamente junto com alguns outros "rebeldes".
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go
I'm filling the cracks that ran through the door
And kept my mind from wandering
Where it will go
And it really doesn't matter if I'm wrong
I'm right
Where I belong I'm right
Where I belong.
See the people standing there who disagree and never win
And wonder why they don't get in my door.
I'm painting the room in a colourful way
And when my mind is wandering
There I will go.
And it really doesn't matter if
I'm wrong I'm right
Where I belong I'm right
Where I belong.
Silly people run around they worry me
And never ask me why they don't get past my door.
I'm taking the time for a number of things
That weren't important yesterday
And I still go.
I'm fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go.
Turn on my V.C.R.
Same one I've had for years
James Brown on the Tammy show
Same tape I've had for years
I sit in my old car
Same one I've had for years
Old battery's running down
It ran for years and years
Turn on the radio
The static hurts my ears
Tell me where would I go
I ain't been out in years
Turn on the stereo
It's played for years and years
An Otis Redding song
It's all I own
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
Plug in my M.C.I
To excercise my brain
Make records on my own
Can't go out in the rain
Pick up the telephone
I've listened here for years
No one to talk to me
I've listened here for years
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When I feel lonely here
Don't waste my time with tears
I run 'Deep Throat' again
It ran for years and years
Don't like the food I eat
The cans are running out
Same food for years and years
I hate the food I eat
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
When the world is running down
You make the best of what's still around
