One of the brilliant pictures from Scorsese, DeNiro and Pesci,

Goodfellas

IMDB

follows Henry Hill and friends as they work their way up through the mob hierarchy. It is the 15th most popular film on IMDB by votes.




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 01OCT FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

Oh, and the alphabetical thing after Good, Bad & Ugly is purely coincidence.


Montgomery
Deniro waits for
Pesci to be made. He's been
made. He was made dead.

MguyX
D'ya think he's funny?
Like a clown, he makes you laugh?
Choose answer wisely.

ChocolateLady
Hill wants to be a
Pesci little criminal
when he grows up. Good?

BaftaBabe
Shamrocks don't get made,
but Liotta takes Henry
right up to Schnook Hill.

Whippersnapper
Cocaine takes its toll
And by the age of thirty
Ray's over the Hill

Beanmimo
Jimmy steals. Tommy
is a completely crazy.
Henry is a rat.

Sludge
With corpse in the trunk
the mob stops by to see mom.
Would you be a deer?

So, looks like rounds are on MguyX - on house credit of course. MguyX, step up to the bar, make a speech, and try not to get us all buried with MHC #125!
