Okay, maybe you didn't watch this tape, because if you did . . . a week later, you'd be dead.
But, in case you survived the crazy little Cousin It in the well climbing out of your TV set, let's all put our haikuing hats on (you do all have haiku hats, right? It isn't just me?) and haiku The Ring.
I'm thinking this one, with Naomi Watts. But I think the plot to the original is the same, so whatever.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0298130/
I looked through our list and didn't see it. Let me know, if I've screwed up horribly here.
Here are the stolen rules from whomever wrote them to begin with.
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 JAN FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.
And PM to me by next week, mid week.
Haiku-away.
EM :)

Gosh, I am truly humbled. Is now the time to admit that I've never actually seen the film?
And, yeah, who was the wiseguy who only gave me 1 point. Why I oughta...
I'll start thinking of a new film right away!

Okay. Sorry for the delay -- we had a new haiku-er this time around (and MguyX) and I had trouble retrieving votes.
But, your week long wait is about to pay off.
There's a tie for second place, which basically means second and third.

Oh, they're both from there. That's right. We'll give them a few more hours to catch up with us.

MguyX and Calmer?
I'd call to remind you, but I don't want to freak you guys out.
So, let's get to voting.

With so many good entries this time, I had to turn this around in my head before I voted - but I think I found the three that hit the bell the best! |

Haiku votes anyone?
I'm not asking for your votes for my haiku. I mean, send your votes in general, for all the haikus, to me. (Unless you took it that other way and that is okay, too.)

Not sure if that is what I wrote on the other thread. But, close enough. The others will need to repost their entries. Whipper and . . . sorry, who else wrote one for the new thread I had started?
EM :)
Hi Em
I think that was me - but this one's close enough as dammit
