DC (disguisedcyclone) | 437 comments Hello! Welcome :)

Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities is TFG's book-of-the-month for July 2014.

To top off the online discussion (as well as be a precursor to the face-to-face ATO2C discussion this July 26), we will be having a livestream of the 1935 Jack Conway-directed movie adaptation of ATO2C, and everyone is invited to watch :)

A Tale of Two Cities (1935)

Date: July 25, Friday
Time: 8PM-10PM (UTC+08:00)
Details:
*It will be done via Livestream.com, so please make sure that you have a (free) account to view the stream.
*We will be using this xat.com chatroom for the group chat: http://xat.com/xat183614658
*We will be posting the links to the livestream on this thread on the day itself.

Any questions? Just post it on this thread, or send a PM to me or Ycel.

Thanks for reading, and we hope you can join us in watching this epic masterpiece.


(If ever you were wondering: yes, we have done this before, and they were happy nights of fun and good cheer. Check this thread out to see our previous livestream.)


Ycel | 662 comments Some trivia to whet your appetite for the online screening:

The latest incarnation of ATO2C onscreen is everyone’s favorite Batman movie, The Dark Knight Rises .

If you are done reading the book, you should be able to relate more fully to Commissioner Gordon’s eulogy.

Here’s how ATO2C inspired the Nolan Brothers to write The Dark Knight Rises . Plus a write-up on the Dickensian aspects of TDKR.


Ycel | 662 comments Here's the NY Times movie review for the ATO2C adaptation that we will see on Friday.
