Nope. In fact, I've only seen 1 of the last 7 haiku films, hence my low participation rate

Bife, this is a classic! Jimmy Stewart and the princess! C'mon...
I think I even wrote a paper on this. I forget the exact details of how it ends though.  |

I went to your reviews' pages before I selected this film, and you reviewed it. I assume that if you can write a four word film review, you shouldn't have a problem with a little ol' haiku, bife.  I had never seen "The Big Lebowski," either, and placed 1st in that round. I've, also, received a few 2nd and 3rd places in other rounds for films I haven't seen. If anyone else wants me to change the film, say so, and I'll choose something else. We need all the entrants we can muster, so I wouldn't want to chase anyone away by film selection.  |

I think these folks are just yanking yer chain. REAR WINDOW is an excellent choice, and I'll be back later one with a haiku to prove it (provided I can come up with one, that is). |

If Raymond Burr had
had the sense to draw his drapes
there would be no film.

Funny, I've always wondered about that myself. I think he only draws the curtains once--whilst dismembering the victim. While the plot revolving around the character of Raymond Burr is certainly interesting, the more I see this film, the more I find the other characters across the way (the building opposite James Stewart) facinating in their own right. |

Okay, its no Hitchcock with Jimmy Stewart, granted - but it didn't suck. I think that it was very well adapted, actually. And I think that they did a good job using his disability.
But truth be told - I didn't think Reeve was that fantastic of an actor before the accident. I always found him pretty... stiff (which worked to some extent for the Superman movies). Of course, you don't expect a guy paralized from the neck down to be terribly animated and to be totally honest, that Rear Window could well have been his finest acting hour.

Saw this only a couple of weeks ago, what a movie! Here's my effort:
James watches neighbours
To pass time (but not the soap!)
Perry Mason's evil. |

Of all things he could
Watch, like knockers, ass or minge
James spies a murder.

Burr's wife's on a trip?

Movie Haiku #45 -- Rear Window
