TA:MOU = Themed Anniversary: Moving On Up
The Rules
Each Tuesday a theme will be decided based on the Anniversary of some significant event. All you have to do is trawl your reviews for any that relate to that event and post them here with a link.
You can post as many as you wish, so long as either the film or your review clearly relates to the theme. You can only post during the week of the current TA:MOU.
You don't have to say you voted unless you really want to - but you are expected to visit all the links posted.
ON THIS DAY:
April 24th, choose one of the following:
In 1704 the first regular newspaper in America was printed for the first time - the News Letter of Boston, Massachusetts. Review films that are primarily about with the newspaper industry or journalism.
In 1934 future Oscar winner and veteran of six decades of work Shirley MacLaine was born - review her films.
In 2005 the world's first cloned dog, and Afghan Hound called Snuppy, was born in South Korea. Let's see your reviews for films with a dog as the central character.
For those interested, but unsure of the method - to isolate a review for a film in the new site first choose the "mine" filter on the film page, then hold the mouse button down over your review for two seconds - the address for your review will then drop down which you can right click to copy and paste. |

No rush, Lemmy.
I voted on yours over the weekend but was sidetracked and didn't post. But Shirley you noticed.
