All the President's Men, released in 1976, thrillingly captures the efforts of journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein to get to the truth behind the net of events associated with the label "Watergate." Starring Dustin Hoffman, Robert Redford (who owned the rights and produced), Hal Holbrook, Jason Robards, Jane Alexander and many other stellar talents. Directed by Alan J. Pakula.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. projectile splooging).
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 24 Mar 9:00 AM fwfr time. Thanks for entering! |

Adam Arkin should
have played Bernstein. And Woodward?
Well, . . . he's no Redford.

Watergate? More like
Floodgates after Bob and Karl
opened the sluices. |
