What a remarkable story!
This story was inspiring, frustrating, frightening and at times heart warming. The fact that it was based on a true story made it even more remarkable knowing that someone lived that horror and still had the hope and faith that someday they would be allowed to live and love freely.

#blackkklansman is an incredible & #fun tribute to the #art of #blaxsploitation film making with a #powerful & very serious #message to tell. Although i found this movie extremely entertaining i left the #cinema feeling extremely #sad & #emotionally shook by it too. What #spikelee has made here is a film that feels very much like a commercial mainstream #comedy film but one thats injected with so much depth & real world drama/issues that its hard not to watch it like its an #educational trip back in time. It really has your #emotions running all over the place especially with its very current & real portrayals of #racism/hate & how it corrupts the weak minded/uneducated while also showing how hate inevitably leads to inhuman & diabolical acts of violence. Infact id say the release of #blackkklansman couldn't of come at a more important time especially with all the hate marches going on in the world & even in my hometown recently. Filmed in such a cool way with an amazing #soundtrack i felt instantly transported back in time & fully immersed from the get go. Lee also uses so many darkly lit, raw & intimate close ups & old filters it makes the viewer feel like we are really there beside the characters really getting to know each & every one of them too. Much like last years #detroit (which i actually prefer) the time period is very well recreated & the overall message here is also just as important & unavoidable too. While not being a film i could recommend to everyone (I think some people may miss the point or fail to see under the films accessible surface) but those who do see it will come away feeling not only entertained but extreamly moved.

I absolutely loved this book, I read a lot and I have only ever cried once (The Green Mile) but Stephenie Meyer made me laugh, cry, get angry and annoyed.
The characters are relatable and complex and the plot is great and imagination that went into this is astounding.
I was reading a few comments about the book on here and it seems to me that most people seem not to like this book out of some preconceived opinion because they did not like the ending of Twilight.
I happened to love the ending of the Twilight saga, I think it fitted the story but even if I didn't you always start reading a new book with a fresh open mind.
If you start reading a book thinking i'm gonna hate it, then you will hate it.
I will be recommending this book :)

Facebook sucks!
I deleted mine 6 months ago and have never been happier. Still have Messenger so I can share and send photos of my dogs to family and friends. (we should have an Orb for pet photos)
I'd rather have actual conversations with actual people rather than hearing people bitch about other people, hating on random strangers, or how much you hate our current president.
I always got so hung up on or disappointed by how many "likes" my posts got and got so upset when I get enough comments or likes on them. Or when only 3 people said "Happy birthday" on my wall or when my mother liked 96 of my posts in a row.
Smashbomb is way better since everyone here is so friendly, happy and discussions of how much you hate anyone are nowhere to be found.
