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
we will tip our typewriters to mark a certain Manhattan event, but it is not the sidewalks of a certain Noo Yawk city in which we perambulate. It is 1880 in Manhattan, Kansas, which is not to say it is any other year anywhere else, and into the family of newsmen called Runyon, emerges a small article they name Alfred Damon. Just five years later, the family decides to take the kid along when they move to Colorado where the kid grows up, joins the army, and moves to Manhattan Noo Yawk, where he develops an intimate acquaintance with powerful liquids and dubious companions and becomes a writer of great note.

So peruse your archives for films with the Runyon touch, which is to say it's Runyon the Rummy who writes the stories.
