BaftaBaby	Posted - 01/10/2012 : 11:11:22 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 in Belgium, in 1929 was the first publication of The Adventures of Tintin, one of the most popular European comic books ever. Recently it's been made into a delightful film by Steven Spielberg. Dunno 'bout you guys, but I was hooked on comics as a kid, particularly since my parents didn't approve! So today's TA:MOU task is to post your fwfrs for films made from comic books. To avoid last week's ginormous list, let's keep graphic novels out of the challenge. I'm sure we'll get a chance for them eventually!

There are surprisingly few adaptations from graphic novels in the truest sense - that is a one off story created as a stand alone book (examples would be Road to Perdition, A History of Violence), even classic examples of what people might call graphic novels like Alan Moore's work were actually just comic books that were eventually collected and published in one volume (for example Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell...). Hi Dem - You need a different link for Supergirl. Just sayin ...

Good question, demo! I guess for me - and various other comix nerds, the difference has always been whether there's a single story issue, or one that's essentially a chapter in a continuing story. If we take it away from the more "adult" themed/content mags - say Archie, featuring Betty, Veronica, and Jughead. Each monthly issue presented one, maybe two stories about the high school quartet, each resolved completely. Next month - new stories. No continuity element. Same with Donald Duck, the original Superman, Krazy Kat, or Mary Jane and Sniffles. Mighty Mouse was a single issue character-based c.book which had a revival decades later as a multi-chapter book. But I think only the former made it onto the big screen. I'm easy -- I just didn't want us to get lost in another long-list week! And I do think stuff like Maus is worth a different TA:MOU challenge, if I can find a link! Clear as mud, eh?!
