Since we're getting close to Halloween, how about a movie that scared the crap out of me -- Rosemary's Baby. 
I'm expecting some interesting creations on this one, so please deliver.
EM :)
--------
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 haikus. The voting is as follows:
3 pts fwfr a
2 pts fwfr b
1 pt fwfr c
--------------------------------
You may vote only once
You cannot vote for yourself.
You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending me your votes in a PM (Private Message) to me. I'll resent it, but do it anyway. I can't do the tricky link thing well, so please just click my name and follow the link to PM me. Thanks, dolls. 
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 18OCT FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

Lucifer and I would just like to thank you all for your good wishes and congratulations for the baby. His drool has turned an attractive shade of green, which is always a good sign.
We shall all roast some lost souls in your collective honour -
- and I'll come up with another cine inspiration as soon as I've watched some telly [yes, that includes Ugly Betty!] Tra-la!

Okay.
Well, it took almost as long as Rosemary's hellish pregnancy, but I am ready to deliver the news of the winners.
Sorry for making some of you revote. You really had voted before, but I went past that part in my email list somehow and didn't realize.
I can't really explain, except to say I am stupid. 
Moving on.
Nothing to see here, folks.
In third place, with a baby weighing in at a healthy 8 lbs. (votes) and with just a slight discoloration of the skin. (He's a little too red).
It's me -- Monty (1,2,2,2,1)

Our winner and yes, she is the ONE to beat. (I know I have a hard time doing it.) Her haiku-highness. Delivering a baby weighing in at an extremely healthy 11 lbs. (votes) and yes, perhaps it was the tails and horns that put it over. (Hope you're a good sewer and can put a hole for the tail in all of his jumpers.)
It's BaftaBabe (3,3,2,3)
Congratulations, Mother of Satan Spawn.
Collect your bundle.
And please choose Haiku # 79.
Alternate Haikus, words of congratulations and other comments may now be posted.
EM :)

Does anyone else recall Mad Magazine's satire of this film, "Rosemary's Boo Boo?" That was back when Mad Magazine was funny. It had Rosemary complaining that the obstretrician had done an internal exam with a pitchfork.
I also recall "Joe Bob Briggs" commenting about John Cassavetes' (sp?) intensity, "John, turn it down a few notches!" (Or something like that.) |
