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 1961 Anna Mary Robertson died aged 101. She became internationally known as Grandma Moses, famous for her paintings, an art she took up in her late 70s, having been a farmer's wife and giving birth to ten children. Her work was exhibited in countless museums and galleries, including NY's Metropolitan Museum of Art. Her 100th birthday was declared Grandma Moses Day, and eight years after her death, the US post office issued a stamp commemorating her life.

Your task, today, fellow TA:MOUers, is to find films whose MAIN characters could be described as old or elderly. And, no, Bladerunner doesn't count!

Throw away your wrinkle cream and get posting!
