I swear I didn’t mean to do all of these posts today but I needed to keep my mind busy. Valentines Day isn’t the real celebration today, it’s actually the 30th anniversary of The Silence of the Lambs movie being released. Has there ever been a more appropriate Valentines movie? I really feel that SoL captures the essence of the book and especially of Clarice. Kick ass female characters are my thing and Clarice is definitely in my top five. 
Several people have asked me if I’m going to be watching the tv show Clarice when it airs in the U.K. and no I will not be watching for several reasons. As many of you know the show Hannibal is extremely important to me and will forever have a special place in my heart. I was very excited when I heard that there would be a Clarice tv show and had planned to watch right up until I saw an interview where the show runner was very insulting about Hannibal. I then read the reviews and talked with some friends who did watch it and that confirmed my decision. Clarice Starling is one of my favourite characters and i will not be watching a show that disempowers her and is so disrespectful to the source material. Instead I will be watching Silence of the Lambs tonight and reading the book for the millionth time. This will also be my pick for Maryland in the challenge #50states50horrorbooks

“You still wake up sometimes, don't you? You wake up in the dark and hear the screaming of the lambs.” . Sometimes I forget how good this movie is. The direction, the actors, the script... all on point. Just a beautiful film. Perfect to test out some new brushes and moody lighting. . . #silenceofthelambs #hannibal #hanniballecter #anthonyhopkins #jonathandemme #jodiefoster #claricestarling #digital #illustration #digitalart #fanart #movie #film #classic #portrait #lighting

Book Photo Challenge: Day 24 - Redhead: #legacy by #susankay is a novel about #elizabethi, one of my favourite redheads of all time. Meanwhile, #hannibal features #claricestarling, who, in the #hannibalmovie, was played by @juliannemoore - my other favourite redhead. Because of her I always imagine Clarice as an auburn-haired lady. Whether she is in the book or not, I have yet to find out (apologies to my namesake #jodiefoster, the original Clarice, who is not a redhead. Cameo from my @originalfunko of dear old @anthonyhopkins circa 1991. And yes, @instagram, I could have mentioned the #weasleys, but I’m trying to be original. Kind of. #bookstagram #bookphotochallenge #readmerrychallenge

LEDA AND THE SWAN by Anne Shingleton We have all seen the painting of Leda and the Swan in Hannibal's cobalt dining room on the series. Leda and the Swan is mentioned in the novel, 'Hanniba'l. Hannibal's landlord has a collection of Leda and the Swan statues and paintings in the rental unit. Hannibal covers them all up but one, Anne Shingleton's Leda and the Swan; in the book it refers to a painting of hers, but I could only find a bronze sculpture she created. Is this a glimpse into the ending of how Clarice Starling is willing to run off with Hannibal Lecter? We know symbolism is a huge factor in the books, movies and the series. #hannbal #thomasharris #hannibalthecannibal #ledaandtheswan #annshingleton #claricestarling https://www.instagram.com/p/BsodXJkgdUb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wnqydecyzvmg
