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: 21 May
TA:MOU's trio combines forensics, homophobia, and a double milestone.
> In 1934 every citizen of Oskaloosa, Iowa was fingerprinted, becoming the first US municipality to do so. Please find films whose central theme and/or plot depends on forensic evidence.
> In 1979 San Francisco witnessed the White Nights riots after Dan White was convicted of the manslaughter of city officials George Moscone and Harvey Milk. Let's see your fwfrs for films which feature violence against homosexual characters.
> 1992 marked the day that seminal Tonight Show host Johnny Carson presented his last ever guests, after having anchored the show for 30 seasons. Those guests were Robin Williams and Bette Midler. Pick one of them and post up your fwfrs for their films.
or ice a Birthday Cake for one of these:
1904 � Robert Montgomery, American actor (d. 1981)
1917 � Raymond Burr, Canadian actor (d. 1993)
1974 � Fairuza Balk, American actress
=============
APOLOGIES - JUST RETURNED FROM COMPUTER HOSPITAL: will post new TA:MOU this eve, soon as I get my act together. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks lemmy - was beginning the signs of puter-deprivation!
Thanks, too, to the lovely MERPs who came through with the links - albeit just over the wire! Onwards to the new TA:MOU!
