Fritz Lang's futuristic visual masterpiece


MHC #203


Metropolis (1927)






Note: Looks like a nice 2 1/2 hour director's cut is playing in NYC .

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 passover. 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 your votes in a PM (Private Message) HERE, to Me.

When the voting deadline ends (9pm Wednesday 12MAY FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.

Oh, what a shock! Well, lets see what movie would work as a haiku this time...

Thanks all for your timely voting!

This was a nail-biter, with ChocolateLady and MguyX leaving Bafta and me to fight over scraps off the factory floor.

Sneaking past MGUYX with -8- points,

Chocolate Lady,

Congrats!

Please make your pick for Haiku Contest #204 to liberate the proletariat.

No more takers? Anyone want to haiku the 6 minute Queen version?
MguyXXV Posted - 05/11/2010 : 19:35:11
An early vision
of later society;
That robot is hot!
ChocolateLady Posted - 05/06/2010 : 13:27:29
Workers can't plan and
planners don't know how to work.
How'd they get so far?
BaftaBaby Posted - 05/06/2010 : 08:44:32
Robot at the Helm.
The Thin Man spies on Freder.
What film's this again?

Sludge Posted - 05/05/2010 : 20:58:47
Here's the irony:
Fritz said it would be like this!
Push buttons all day?
