6 reasons why Manhunter is hilariously amazing:

1. White. White. White. Symbolism. Symbolism. Symbolism.


 2. There's unfortunately not enough of him but this is a beautiful Hannibal being acted out here.

He knows he's smarter than you. HE KNOWS IT.

3. More colour symbolism
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?! TELL ME!?!

4. This hottie
Today's my nice day. But there's so many things I want to say.

5. For teaching us that the purpose of pantyhoses are to create great disguises.

Tooth Fairy goes from this:


To this:


I had no idea it was him! The skin coloured elastic pants fooled me!

5. For giving us the best songs ever to feature in a movie. 
Heartbeat-Red 7

The album cover right, IS A RED 7!

And

In a Gadda da Vida- Iron Butterfly

The lead singer was too drunk to call the song by it's real name. 'In the Garden of Eden.'

Ok I have to show you the scene.
(SPOILER ALERT. This is like the main scene...in the whole film)
Watch from 40 seconds in if you're as lazy as me.

DID THAT NOT JUST LIKE BLOW YOUR MIND!

6. Last but not least, the fashion.
No, I actually want those white pants so joke's on you really.

Where the VMAs went wrong

Move aside the infamous Miley performance, this is about the actual awards. (Guttered I didn't see the N*Sync reunion. I mean I get their name, I deserve a private concert)

Yeah ok, JT's Mirror was a pretty good music video.
Award winning? Debatable.

Moving along.

Who were nominated: 




Before you think I'm going to go on a rant about these nominated videos, I'll let you know I'm not going to. This is because:
1. I never made it to the end of these videos (Does that already say something??)
so 2. You can't critique something you haven't seen.

But here are some under-appreciated good videos that have been under-appreciated not only by the VMAs but others too.

Visually beautiful with it's colours with a perff hint of morals. This is the direction of Paramore videos from now on. I DEMAND IT! No more Misery Business vids!!
The definition of Throwback Thursday. Edgy, funny, entertaining and groovy. It constantly maintains your attention throughout the video with it's quirky matching to the lyrics. It's got a taste of Andy Warhol to it, if Andy wasn't trying to make a point about consumerism and was just having a laugh.
Technically 2012 but whatever. I love it.
Also technically 2012 but someone give this boy some credit. He's sooo quirky and the long legs and the use of that box space keeps you entranced. But the choreography. Oh it's beautiful. More like this please! More! It was like I had bought a ticket to the local theater for a little show.
Better song and music video than Thrift shop. Whaatt uppp! The constant moving of scenery and the swift transitions between them. Ryan Lewis, I like you.
Such a cute music video. Not a winning vid but definitely deserves some credit for it's hilarity and adorab-ility. Calvin and Ellie sold themselves as a couple! They're naturals. Who knows why there was ever Ellie and Skrillex....
I'm biased. I just love him.
LOOK AT THE TIBETAN MASTIFF!!! So this little video is pretty cute and you may not get it till you hear the Wizard of Oz and Bolivian background to it. Once you do, you'll see how it fits perfectly with the lyrics of the song and just became one perfect marriage. (Wiki it if you need to, it helps)
Yeah so this came out after the VMAs. Therefore:
Dear 2014 VMAs. 
Please get it right. This deserves at least a nomination. 
Yours Sincerely, Abbekah.

And I leave you with this final note. Sometimes I understand Kanye.

You got a Bob?

A few months ago I cut off all my hair and styled it to a Chelsea Staub kind of bob. But it hasn't managed to look as good as hers does.

If you've seen me, I'm pretty close....

So recently I've been struggling to find a good outfit to to go with my short hair. It's hard ya know. So I decided to look up (Google is my best friend) different and stylish short hair looks especially to go with a bob and collated the best looks for you! (I'm a nice person)

And well, here are the looks!

The Bob Marley do:                                                            Shortness rating: (just)4/5
The first look seems to be a popular one by the looks of it, modeled by 3 and a half of the people in this photo. The idea of the look is to pick your Afro (if you don't have one, you're at a loss sorry) so it looks a bit windswept, not too much though otherwise you'll spoil the illusion. White midi dresses work well with the look, probably around $20 if you look in the right places. $20.99 or more if you don't.
A black satchel or shoulder bag compliments the attire nicely as it doesn't take away from the glory of the hair but instead matches it to prevent clashing of colours. (This photo is in black and white though so who knows what colour is actually in this....)
Which leads to my next point, it is ideal to have black hair.
If the 'Bob' is dressed in double denim, you've completed this look to the ideal. Also if you a related to the Bob, again full perfection.

The Bob Dylan do:                                                                   Shortness rating: 4/5
Woah, this is a choice outfit. Looks like it's straight out of Vogue! 
Wake up in the morning, give your hair a bit of a shake, add a bit of gel or hairspray (or if referring to the musical, a lot) to keep the flawless hair do in it's place for the rest of the evening. A purple dress as worn by Sara Lownds is the perfect way to pull of this look. Probably wont find it in many stores so better D.I.Y it I reckon. Everybody has a sewing machine somewhere in their house.
Your 'Bob' do is better with a leather jacket, jeans and a massive textbook (adds character)

So Bob, what do you think of the look?
Not the answer I was hoping for but I'll take it anyway.

The Bob Ross do:                                                                 Shortness rating: 10/5
The infamous meme style image can be your new famous look! Best to go no hair with this outfit and instead replace it with a canvas. No hair, no mess, no worries!
Don't necessarily need a particular outfit, more a particular picture. Opting for the beach look is risky as beach hair is hard to work but the forest always works a charm. Add paint to the face for extra points.
Your 'bob' should be in his usual outfit. Fro, beard, mo, cream dress shirt and brush and palate.
What a beaut.
The Bob Harper do:                                                                Shortness rating: 3/5
For those gym days, you want to look fit right? Just pin your hair back so it's out of your face and genuinely looks like you want to concentrate on looking fit. Fake skins and a tank always makes it look like you're into it, maybe add a mic so it looks like your a professional. Blue new balances too. MUST BE NEW BALANCE.
Your 'bob' must, I emphasise must, be in knee high socks. The rest is up to him.
The Bob Geldolf do:                                                               Shortness rating: 2/5
Leave your hair flat over your face to achieve this look. Some flats, a stripey top with a skirt and bag which will cost way more than it's worth. Make sure to cut out the back of your top just for a bit of edge:
Your 'bob' needs to meet these requirements:
1) Needs to be rich. No one knows how he's rich, but somehow he still is
2) Needs to be philanthropic. Put on a concert or something. It's easy.
3) Have weird names for his kids.

The Bob Saget do:                              Shortness rating: Who cares, your Bob Saget
Last but not least, our Bob Saget.
Face it, you can't pull it off.
Stick to the looks above.
It's Bob Saget for crying out loud.
And of course Bob Newhart:

Hey you. How you doing??

I have like 4 or 5 email addresses so I have to hack into all them before I get the right one.
Good job genius.

So lately I've been hooked on the Erato covers of Call Your Girlfriend. I seriously wish I was that talented with a cottage cheese container.

nah it needs to be longer. I got it! To the kitchen and back to the computer? yeah that sounds good.
