"Viewer discretion is revised."

This 1987 classic thriller will remind you how primitive computers used to be, and how unspoiled Kevin Costner used to be. (Sorry, Kev.)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Abbreviated 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. Give it a try if you never have--it's SO EASY!

To enter, all you have to do is think of a Haiku for the current movie, then post into the current thread. (Hint: read it out loud, ticking off the syllables with your fingers as you do so.)

Haikus may be risque, but please, don't make men faint and women scream in doing so (e.g. crotch hockey).

Only one entry per person. However, you may edit your existing entry until 9pm Tuesday FWFR time.


Voting.

If you have entered the MHC, then you have to vote. It's required. If you enter but do not vote, you get a whopping 3 point penalty, which can change you from a Champion to a Chump instantly.

"Failing to vote, however, could have drastic consequences. Really. I'm serious. This goes for you, too." So wrote a predecessor, and I couldn't agree more.

You do not have to enter an MHC to vote. Vote away. It'll be just like a lurker vote! Get it???


---------------------------------

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 may not vote for yourself.

You vote by sending me your votes in a PM (Private Message) HERE. Vote deadline is Wed 30 June 9:00 AM fwfr time. Thanks for entering!

The Fourier transforms are complete, and we have a clear image of the winners of this contest.

In third place, with nine votes (33111)--the wily, dodgy lamhasuas.

In second place, with ten votes (3322)--the clever, resourceful Beanmimo.

In first place, with eleven votes (32222)--the last person you'd suspect in this surprise twist ending--clay, aka Your Humble Narrator.

Thanks much to the mysterious, shadowy Lurker who sent her (or his) vote array via carrier pigeon. Wow, is that pigeon tired!!

And thanks for the votes, folks, and stay tuned for our next contest!
