Okay, this one has plenty to have fun with, including Sasha Cohen's French driver, two unruly kids named after a Chuck Norris TV show, and a chicken spice as a motto.
Let's hear it for Talladega Nights, The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
Rules here:
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 Stalean
2 pts Conan
1 pt Benj (Gotta get a jab in here at Benj on account he confessed that haikus aren't his thing. Stay tuned for "movie limericks.")
not
1) AC
2) GHcool
3) thefoxboy
As I will not know if AC gets 1 vote or AC is your favourite for 3 votes.
--------------------------------
You cannot vote for yourself.
You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending the currently designated Haiku Meister your votes in a PM (Private Message).
You may vote only once.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.
*After winners are announced, the floor is open for posting of alternate Movie Haikus under that topic heading.
The winner then gets to make an acceptance speech, and choose the movie for the next MHC contest. The winner will post the new movie as a new topic under Movie Haikus in this format:
Movie Haiku Contest: Movie Title
...and a week later, be dragged, kicking and screaming, into vote-tallying duty.
Play fair. No wagering please.
EM :)

So, I'm guessing you didn't go right out and rent the DVD yet?
Okay, get ready for the spider monkey attack!
(Sasha Cohen -- the driver who upsets Ricky Bobby at the track -- is from France).
Now, please, for the good of mankind, rent the movie.

Oh wait, am I the only one who does that? Awkward!
Do you really wanna be a professional poet, EM? Interesting. I guess that's one way to lose weight.
Tee hee.  So true.

Okay, that's enough applause. Let's get to the second place finisher before Molly Shannon finishes that highball. With an amazing 8 points. In second place. (And this is an important place, because if the first place finisher cannot complete his reign as the winner, she can step in for him).

And now, from France, a country where they don't understand the meaning of "Shake 'n Bake", with an impressive score of 11 points and garnering a vote from every participant, including lurker voter ChocolateLady. (Thanks, Chocky!)

Take your victory lap and then choose another movie for us to haiku it up for.
Alternate haikus (about fish and fluffy clouds) can now be posted.

Well, I've heard of it, but never saw it, so that's why I didn't enter this one.
(But I sent my vote in anyway.)
