Posted - 12/26/2012 : 09:45:54 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: 26 December There are only 364 days left to xmas ... which makes TA:MOU a day late and a dollar short - shock horror!
As it happens, back in 1799, 4 thousand people turned up at George Washington's funeral to pay tribute.
So after and midst our festivites, please dress your fwfrs in their somber best to mark the passing of performers who have died this year.
Either choose one from the following who actually died on 26 December:
> Funnyman Jack Benny [1894 - 1974]
> Writer/director Howard Hawks [1896 - 1977]
> Elsa Lanchester - Bride of Frankenstein and Charles Laughton [1902 - 1986]
> Versatile actor Jason Robards [1922 - 2000]
> Witty character actor Nigel Hawthorne [1929 - 2001]
OR
Post up your fwfrs for films starring or co-starring any actor who died in 2012, including
Michael Clarke Duncan Whitney Houston Herbert Lom Charles Durning Ernest Borgnine Ben Gazarra Larry Hagman Celeste Holm Andy Griffith Sylvia Kristel Phyllis Diller William Windom Jack Klugman James Farentino Turhan Bey Tony Martin
Their work lives on.
