This has been a busy week with lots of things breaking mainly last week. Somehow that happens every two years in March. Remembering back, I can recall a TV breaking, a bike being stolen, another TV needing to be repaired and now the motorbike. Fate?
However, I'm in a really surprisingly stunning mood.
So if you're still up for writing sixty words, post them quick or comment them on my blog. Remember, there is still a $20 voucher on the loose.

Why this mood? Because I got ripped out of my dreams this morning by a loud banging on my downstairs window. First I wasn't sure about anything? Was I awake, was I sane, where was the ceiling?
Ages later, but apparently much quicker than I thought, I opened the window at the top of my bed and peeked down, where I found my awkward Polish neighbour in his non-shirt-but-huge-hairy-belly appearance.
He showed me with his hands and a few out-of-place words that someone had toppled my motorbike. Holy...
I was out, in my pants and down the stairs in no time. When I opened the front door my housemate suddenly stood among the kitchen door frame and made me jump. You see my heightened senses?
I found the bike, shattered plastic and one broken off hand bar. Makes about a few hundred bucks/quid/euro/pounds/dollars. And for what? Someone had intentionally overturned it, there is no other possibility the way it stood against the house. So now I want someone to investigate for me please and then report back to me, so I can write my best seller about how I catch the guys à la CSI.
What would you write a crime novel about?
In the late 1960s a new type of cinema emerged in Hollywood due to the social, political and industrial changes in America[1]. One of the first new types of films was Bonnie and Clyde (1967), which redefined classical conventions especially for the crime genre that would determine a new way of approaching filmmaking for the next generations. This essay will investigate how the social trends of the 1960s spawned a revolutionary crime film and by closely analysing Bonnie and Clyde’s cinematic devices determine its meanings for the audience of the 1960s.
The period following the Second World War brought changes to Hollywood. Starting with the Paramount Decree in 1948, the US Supreme Court ruled that the major studios must depart from their exhibition sector in order to dismiss their monopoly. Although the economy flourished after the war, audiences declined. The growing middle-class was able to move to the suburbs, which resulted in a tripling of the suburban share of the population until the 1960s[2]. Theatres were less accessible there and other leisure activities were prioritized, as prosperity and more opportunities appeared[3].
