Last week's discovery that we had skipped Italian cinema in its entirety really got me thinking. Here's one I just cannot believe wasn't one of our first twenty or so selections. If I have read the list wrong please correct me and we'll do another one.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Wiki
IMDB
FWFR
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) HERE, to Me.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 24SEP FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced. |

We'll do this quick and move on.
On great advice, I will post the top two, and this was a close one.

In Second Place, with NINE POINTS (3 2 2 2)

BAFTABABE

And in clearly another fix, with TEN POINTS including votes from Florida and Iowa (3 3 3 1)

I'll try to find us something that will prove immensely popular with the masses for Haiku Round 124.

Yes, terrible. Just terrible. I lost $60, if that makes you feel better.

That's your homework for the weekend.
Hmmm. Can't this weekend. Had to play cards all weekend.
No time to "hire" a movie. But, I will try to see that one sometime soon.

"That's how West was won."

They called him Blondie
But he had no heart of glass.
You ask Arch Stanton.
