Number Four on the AFI 100, Raging Bull features Robert De Niro's Oscar-winning performance (as Pesci picked up a Bafta) in the story of the rise and fall of Jake LaMotta, a fighter with the prowess and emotional stability of Mike Tyson.
....
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).
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:
Movie Haiku Contest: Movie Title
...and a week later, be dragged, kicking and screaming, into vote-tallying duty. |

De Niro's Brando -
Brudda Pesci betrayed? No.
Wait for Casino.
Bafta
Thanks to De Niro
LaMotta's a big fella
Not a good fella.
Monty
First DeNiro rolls
with the punches. Then he plays
the role with a paunch.
Whipper
Boxer from the Bronx.
Once Champion, then went down
To Palookaville.
Beanmimo
Angry boxer turns
Paranoid middleweight turns
Obese paedophile.

I wish I could contribute to this one, but I'm afraid I don't know the movie enough to be inspired! |
