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: 9 April
TA:MOU goes Brrr or Boom!
> in 1867 � Russia was going broke & didn't want a follow-up to the Crimean war against Britain. There were rumours of territorial conflict over gold deposits. And the USA was looking to expand its territory under the Manifest Destiny principle.
So the US Senate narrowly voted to ratify a treaty with Russia for the purchase of Alaska for $7.2 million.
Your first TA:MOU task is to wrap up warm and search your flannels for films set in Alaska. Any era, any plot.
or
> in 1945 Congress established the Atomic Energy Commission [AEC], allegedly dedicated to the peacetime uses of nuclear energy. Please post your fwfrs for films primarily concerned with atomic science - bombs or not! BUT if you say nooculer I will personally launch something right in yer face.
