MHC # 53 TOY STORY
Whilst showing the influences of both Ingmar Bergman and Federico Fellini, and arguably even more Kurosawa, Toy Story has its own unique place in the canon of Modern Cinema.
Abbreviated rules borrowed from here to encourage some new entrants ....
The Rules
The first line of a haiku poem has five syllables.
The second line of a haiku poem has seven syllables.
The third, and final, line of a haiku poem has five syllables.
The Movie Haiku Contest (MHC) is open to every member of the FWFR site.
To enter, all you have to do is think of a Haiku for the current movie, then post into the current thread. Simple as that. Also, haikus may be risque, but nothing explicit please.
Only one entry per person as per The Blevins Rule. However, you are allowed to edit your existing entry until 9pm Tuesday FWFR time. *
Voting.
If you have entered the MHC, then you have to vote. If you do not vote, you'll lose 3 points from your total. This could mean the difference between the adoration and envy of your fellow Fwiffers or being the feckless butt of our jokes!
You do not have to enter an MHC to vote. Vote away. It'll be like a lurker vote!
---------------------------------
For each round, you get to vote for your three favourite MHC. The voting is as follows:
3 pts fwfrer a
2 pts fwfr b
1 pt fwfr c
--------------------------------
You cannot vote for yourself.
You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending me your votes in a PM (Private Message). I'll resent it, but do it anyway.
You may vote only once.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 17APR FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced. |

Alt. Haiku:

Ooh, mean, but still true.

Ladies & Gentlemen
We are now back from our commercial break and into the final part of our show this evening.
There were seven entries for our Haiku competition, but who actually won?
[BIG drum roll]
With a score of 13 points, 3,3,3,2,1,1 I can now reveal...
That the winner of Haiku competition 53 is...
The one...
The only...
[tension is so unbearable members of the audience are beginning to faint]
WHIPPERSNAPPER!
[Pandemonium breaks out. Calls of "fix", "cheat", "we was robbed!", "string him up". Fights break out in the audience and we hear police sirens in the distance. Fade to black.]
You are now free to post your alternative haikus whilst we all await the outcome of the Fraud Squad investigation.

Ladies & Gentlemen
We have now returned from our commercial break and can now, finally, reveal the results of our 53rd Haiku Competition.
But first, a word of thanks to all our participants. Thanks!
And now, Ladies & Gentlemen, I can reveal that we have a tie for 2nd and third place... [Drum Roll...]
Both scoring ELEVEN points, both 3,3,2,2,1 we have...
[tension builds]
And I'm going to give these in alphabetical order...
[tension is unbearable]
The Brilliant BaftaBabe And the Magnificent Montgomery!
[Cheers, whistles, applause. One guy boos but he too is forceably ejected none too gently by our "security staff".]
And now, Ladies & Gentlemen, it only remains to reveal the winner of our contest.
But first, a short commercial break...

Ladies and Gentlemen, [prolonged applause]
I know this is the moment you have all been waiting for. All of the votes have now been counted and recounted, and we can now reveal to you all the winners of our wonderful Haiku competition #53! [even more prolonged applause]
I have here the envelope with the results [sudden hush]
I will now open the envelope. [total silence. Someone drops a pin which reverberates around the auditorium. The culprit is forceably ejected and silence is once again restored. The envelope is opened and the card is removed.]
Ladies and Gentlemen, I can now reveal the results.
But before that, a short commercial break...
