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: 20 November
The TA:MOU twist offers a few alternatives we hope will interest you - and add up to loverly votes!
In 1954 The UN General Assembly established Universal Children's Day, as well as adopting the Declaration of the Rights of the Child on the same day two years later. Still on the same day the Convention of the Rights of the Child was signed in 1989. Over a hundred countries throughout the world mark these significant days for children on 20 November, while other countries have chosen different dates.
In any case, TA:MOU would like to see your fwfrs for all films which are about children and/or whose casts are largely if not exclusively composed of children. Let's limit the age to under 16.
And if kids have no appeal, how's about whales?!
In 1820, the whaling ship Essex - sailing 2,000 miles from the western coast of South America out of Nantucket, Massachusetts � was attacked by an 80-ton sperm whale. Thirty-one years later, novelist Herman Melville used this incident as the basis for Moby Dick.
So please post your reviews for films primarily about whales. Animated, live-action, whatever genre. So long as whales make a big splash.
This week's two Birthday Alternatives are:
> Fran Allison, American television personality (1907-1989) - She was the Fran in the phenomenally successful kid's tv puppet show Kukla, Fran & Ollie. Your film reviews, please, for films largely featuring or about puppets. Yes, Muppets also count!
> Estelle Parsons, American actress, born 1927 - a wonderful actress who edged the market in neurosis.
