Number eight in the AFI Top 100, Schindler's List gets down to business with the Holocaust.


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 has seven syllables.
The third, and final, line 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, even if you are Sludge and its your birthday. 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) HERE, to Me. I'll resent it, but do it anyway.

You may vote only once.

When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 15AUG FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

Well done Chocky!

And Sludge, re the votes for you, 3+3+1+1 does not equal 9.

Chocolate Lady, at the conclusion of your victory speech, please select a film for Movie Haiku #70. Make sure it was NOT a film from previous rounds.

EVERYONE, you are now free to post any alternative Haiku you may have.

I am Spartacus and so's my wife, and I shan't vote tomorrow.

(Just that little bit too much, eh?)

or as Raol Duke once said

Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole life-style a Crime in Progress is not a happy prospect.

oh I meant this one

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

I'm NOT Whip (and I voted yesterday)
Whippersnapper. Posted - 08/22/2007 : 18:13:35


I am Rockfsh!

And I voted yesterday
Montgomery Posted - 08/22/2007 : 17:50:03
Neither am I.

Voted.

EM :)

Beanmimo Posted - 08/22/2007 : 09:38:22

I am not Rockfish and therefore have now voted.

Unless you're Rockfsh, who's already done so, please click on the sludge and vote!

Schindlers parts don't fit,
Spielberg creates 8 Oscars
Oskar makes his list.
BaftaBaby Posted - 08/17/2007 : 16:42:24
Spielberg makes a List
From Keneally's Ark. Schindler's
fine. Geoth's just Fiennes.


Montgomery Posted - 08/17/2007 : 15:23:33
Schindler observes his
ring and other things. Laments
"I could have saved more."


EM :)
