Annie Hall
Wacky Woody and Demure Diane brought quirkiness to the Oscar stage for Best Picture in 1977. Well la-di-dah!
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 Meister your votes in a PM (Private Message) here to me at this PM address because I am Borg.
You may vote only once.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.
*After winners are announced, the floor is open for posting of alternate Movie Haikus under that topic heading.
The winner then gets to make an acceptance speech, and choose the movie for the next MHC contest. The winner will post the new movie as a new topic under Movie Haikus in this format:

I'm sure Salopain will take that as a compliment.
I'm not so very sure I do though.

I'll agree to abide by the laws of mathematics even though they contravene the Beanmimo laws of fun. |

Eh, you may have heard it before, but its wrong, as having a joint second means the next one (or group) are fourth.
Try it on your fingers. You'll see I'm right.

How about first, joint second and third....
I'm sure I've heard that before.

They are part of the laws of mathematics Beanie, and therefore inviolable.

Just sayin'.
Now are they hard and fast rules or can they be at the whim of that weeks winner?

Thank you, and after suffering through 8 days of eating matzah, I'm giving you all the most appropriate (and best known) movie that relates directly to this holiday.
As Moshe said "Let Them Eat Matzah".
(Why they didn't cut off his head after that, is beyond me!)

We here at the Haiku Academy have been encouraging the haiku form as a means of sorting out the world's political differences. Therefore we are pleased to announce the results of our survey of whether or not to allow the form an extra line of random syllables. So, despite the fact that two of our eminent lecturers have been kidnapped and the entire campus is away helping police with their enquiries ... excuse me, who are you?
[faint whispers are overheard, the crowd rustles their crackerjacks]
Quiet Ladies & Gentlemen. We have here none other than Matsuo Bash�, who ...
Shut up. You have it all wrong. All your theories are rubbish! Here are the winners:
Tied in third place for LA pretentiousness, with three points each
are
MguyX [2,1] and Me BaftaBorg [1,2]
Tied in second place for timeliness, with five points each
are
rockfsh [3,2] and Whippersnapper [1,1,3]
are
But out in front with 6 points, making the right turn on her red light and making it home in time for shellfish ...
The one, the only Chocolate La-di-da! [3,3]
  YAY!
