Many thanks to Montgomery for sending me a list not to copy from, and also posting the handy-dandy abbreviated rules, which I cheerfully cut & paste below.
My movie choice is the quirky, soaringly imaginative and surreal 80's classic --
Repo Man
Starring Emilio Estevez and the immortal Harry Dean Stanton. You'll never look at a Chevy Malibu the same way again.
With Tracey Walter as Miller!
Abbreviated rules (re)borrowed from here to encourage some new entrants .... or old ones back.
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, and suffer from Significant Shrinkage. This could mean the difference between Stardom and a big fat Dumpster Dive.
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) to me.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 13MAY FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

Otto's just some punk.
The script's such junk... but wait... there's
Something in that trunk.

Busted! If I'd only figured that out beforehand, I might have written "seek--car? Holy Grail?" |
