Yes, it's true. The subject of the all-time most popular FWFR has never been MHC'd. I suggest reserving those five syllables for MguyX should he wish to use them.


Kramer Vs. Kramer (1979)


arrived well into an era of divorcing parents battling for custody of their children. Released after The Deer Hunter and before The French Lieutenant's Woman and Sophie's Choice, Kramer vs. Kramer earned Meryl Streep her first Oscar (Best Supporting Actress).




Abbreviated rules borrowed from here to encourage some new entrants ....

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, even if you are Sludge and its your birthday. 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 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) HERE, to Me.

*I believe we're back on schedule now. So, when the voting deadline technically ends (9pm Wednesday 27JAN FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

MHC #189 - VOTING CLOSED - Kramer vs. Kramer

If it pleases the court, we're proceeding with a vote count.

In 3rd Place, with -5- points,

MONTGOMERY

With elimination of non-voters, there was a TIE for first, with -7- points each,

MGUYX (2 2 2 1) and BEANMIMO (3 2 1 1)


The winner, based on a 3-pointer, is BEANMIMO.

BEAN, congratulations!

Please come over here, get your kid, and select a film for Movie Haiku Contest #190. You can check here to verify it hasn't been done before.
