From the legend that is Stanley Kubrick comes the film that proved to us we wanted to go into space so long as we could do it from a cinema seat. Rocket blasters set to retro ... about 1968. And 5, 4, 3, 2, Lift Off.
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 Dominatrix BaftaBabe your votes in a PM (Private Message).
You may vote only once.

And the results have flown in, delivered in the beak of the Haiku Bird. And that little birdie says we had 5 participant/voters and one lurker/voter.
In Third Place, it's the ever-popular Montgomery YAY! 
with 5 points [1,1, 2, 1]
Running up behind, in Second Place, it's the Nun you love to love
No, NOT Mother Theresa -- it's duh 
with a stunning 9 points [3,3,3]
And, luckily I've got the eMails to prove it, this week's winner is
little old me  
with an even dozen [2,3,2,3,2]
Crikey, moley -- no wins for months and then two come along at once ... I thank you one and all.
I'm off to see Kenny [ugh] but will rustle up a new film when I get back.
Thanks again!

Lovely stuff -- I think that's everyone. Will consult HAL and calculate. If he doesn't send me through the pod bay door, I'll report back pronto.

Kubrick's apes react
to monolith. HAL reacts
to talk. Dave does not.
