TA:MOU = Themed Anniversary: Moving On Up
DA EVEN NEWER ROOLZ
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. As a courtesy to the majority of fwfrs, you may only post a link that uses the http://www.fwfr.com domain name.
Each week's TA:MOU will be removed when a new one takes its place. This is to deter re-visiting of expired threads.
Yours truly
Da Management
ON THIS DAY
lots of stuff happened throughout the centuries. Here are just a few:
1715 � "Edmund Halley's" total solar eclipse (the last one visible in London for almost 900 years).
1808 � Peninsular War: The Madrid rebels who rose up on May 2 are executed near Pr�ncipe P�o hill. That's the one that inspired Francisco Goya's famous painting of the event. Since he painted it very soon afterward, it was equivalent to an item of Twitter news.
1913 � Raja Harishchandra the first full-length Indian feature film is released, marking the beginning of the Indian film industry.
1937 � Gone with the Wind, a novel by Margaret Mitchell, wins the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
1948 � The U.S. Supreme Court rules that covenants prohibiting the sale of real estate to blacks and other minorities are legally unenforceable.
1957 � Walter O'Malley, the owner of the Brooklyn Dodgers, agrees to move the team from Brooklyn, New York, to Los Angeles, California.
1960 � The Off-Broadway musical comedy, The Fantasticks, opens in New York City's Greenwich Village, eventually becoming the longest-running musical of all time.
So your TA:MOU challenge this week is one of choice for your fwfr display.
EITHER
pick ONE of these events and find a bunch of films that link in.
i.e. If you pick the Pulitzer for Gone With The Wind - all your fwfrs will have something to do with the book or the film, or, indeed, any Pulitzer that was made into a film.
OR
find ONE film for EACH of the items, linked however tenuously.
