Funny things we find on IMDB when we are not able to watch the Oscars because they're shown on a channel we don't have

David Lynch was introduced to Isabella Rossellini at a restaurant by a mutual friend when he was in the process of casting Blue Velvet (1986). Struck by her serene European beauty, he told her, "You could be Ingrid Bergman's daughter." 'You idiot,' my friend said to me," Lynch recalled, "'she is Ingrid Bergman's daughter!'"

Sedam dana sam i gore i dole
potraži me.
Sedam dana sam
Nađi i stavi
Pokaži me.

Nek boli dok boli
Rukama stegni kožu svoju.
Podamnom zategni strah
i noktima pucaj u znoju.

Još ovaj put dok traži i zove
zakloniću.
Još neki put dok zrači i moli
pokloniću.

Drži mene
Voli mene.
Uzmi moj šakom
vlažni grli vrat.
I sačuvaj vreme
I seme za mene
Bio bih tvoj brat
Ti si moj brat.

Slomi se
O skloni se.
slomi se
O skloni se.
Slomi se
O skloni se
Od sebe...od sebe...

Sedam dana sam...
Potraži me...
Potraži me...

Mansarda

I'm reading a novel by Danilo Kiš called Mansarda. I've almost read half the book without knowing what Mansarda actually means. With great help from a friend I am now a little bit wiser.

Mansarda: attic, section of a house below the roof


A building with a mansard roof in Szczecin, Poland
