MHC 47: Saving Private Ryan
I checked around and, yes, almost 50 contests and we haven't hit this yet.
IMDB
FWFR
Abbreviated rules borrowed from here to encourage some new entrants ....(thanks Bife)
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 fwfrer a
2 pts fwfr b
1 pt fwfr c
--------------------------------
You cannot vote for yourself.
You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending Sludge, who is now crying because of this, your votes in a PM (Private Message).
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. |

What should have been lost?
The extraneous, tearjerk
beginning and end.
Ruined a great film in my opinion.
