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: 30 April
TA:MOU brings on the dames!
> Back in 1927 the town of Alderson, West Virginia, opened the Federal Industrial Institute for Women, America's first federal jail for those bad girls.
So, not to condone 'em but to mark the more disturbing side of gender equality, let's see your fwfrs for films that rely on women in prison. Rightly, wrongly, they're guilty, they wuz framed ... so long as they're safely behind bars, they qualify.
meanwhile on the very same day ...
> Glittering showbiz couple Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford were the first celebrities to leave their footprints in concrete at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Hollywood, starting a tradition that captures celebs in stone ever since. All you have to do is choose any one who's ever left a hand or footprint on that same sidewalk.
OR if you REALLY prefer the usual birthday celebration - well, we're baking cakes for several gals ... and only one birthday boy
