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 1173 construction began in the town of Pisa in Tuscany of the famous campanile of the cathedral. Despite periods of bankruptcy and diversions to fight various wars, finally, the structure was completed some 177 years later. We know it today as The Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Today's TA:MOU challege is to display the fwfrs you've constructed for films that feature or depend on a SINGLE building for their theme and/or plot.

Pick up your hard hat at the site office!

Welcome Larry! Nice to see another building on the property. Hope you'll become a regular.

I have been busier than usual lately so it took me a while to play this round. Just finished hitting everyone and looking forward to this week's theme.
