Haiku seems to be popular around these parts.
Summarize a movie in haiku.
To Kill a Mockingbird:
Atticus Finch defends
innocent Tom Robinson.
Children enlightened.
Life of Brian:
Brian our savior
Always looks on the bright side
Hanging from the cross
Holy Grail:
What is the air speed
of an unladen swallow?
What? I don’t know that!
American History X:
Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the trampling at the zoo
we have bathed ourselves in n*ggers bood
and all the mongrels too
we are taking down the zog machine
jew by jew by jew
the white man marches on
Just kidding.
Boy is sent astray
Brother tries to help, too late
Boy becomes a ghost
Star Wars:
Lame whiny farmboy
He uses the force real well
Vader is his dad.
Lord of the Rings:
Frodo has the ring
Sauron wants it back real bad
Yes, Gollum’s precious
Since I just saw it, Donnie Darko.
Donnie is crazy.
Girlfriends’ problem bigger still.
Time travel helps.
Princess Bride.
Wesley is my love
So I push him down a hill
He yells, “As you wish!”
uh uhh umm uh Pea
err ohh ahhhh hmmm uhh oh Tear
uhhh ahh mmm Griffon
Army Of Darkness:
Trap’t in time, no gas
Surrounded by the Deadites
This is my BOOM stick!
Clatu Verata
Ni [coff] Shop smart, shop S Mart
That was pillow talk
Training Wheel Not Required: (For you Brian!)
Skills on one wheel seen
A madman on his coker
No Training Wheel Here
Alien:
Acid blood, sharp teeth
Nostromos’ crew they all die
Not Ripley, she lives
Cool Hand Luke:
Luke just can’t stay put
Lack of communication
Warden has him shot
Thanks E_N!
Although I do try
A Haiku’st I am not
I’ll leave it to you
Here there be spoilers
I must be bored:
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead:
Was it Rosencrantz
Or Guildenstern who learned more
Before they both died?
Pi:
Rabbis and Brokers
Chase a man who sees patterns
but you know the drill.
Bubba Hotep:
Lacking a boom stick
Old fat Elvis saves the day
With JFK’s help.
Hero:
Assassins are slain.
No, wait! It was all a trap.
No, wait! They gave up.
Dogma:
Woman believes God is dead.
Jay and Bob give ideas
So she can save day.
The Usual Suspects:
Group of men bomb boat.
Everybody dies but one
Man of will walks free.
Rounders:
Kid goes up river
Lies to friend, but his plan flops
Friend’s luck takes a turn.
Okay, time for me to stop (you’ve suffered enough already).
Rob
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off:
He should be at school
But it’s a beautiful day
Cameron! Bring your car!
Plan 9 From Outer Space
Aliens raise dead
To kill humans so they don’t
kill themselves slower
That’s no movie. That’s only a scene from family guy. Do you get adult swim up there? Or cartoon network for that matter?
I’ll try my best at this haiku.
The Emperor’s New Groove
The emperor was real groovy
He was turned into a llama
Human now he learned his leason
Did I do it right?
'fraid not. A haiku has five syllables, then seven, then five. Like this:
one two three four five
one two three four five six sev
one two three four five
Pee Wee’s Big Adventure:
Pee Wee lost his bike
It’s not at the Alamo
Large Marge Frightened me
Thread jack: Who else is getting the complete collection of Pee Wee’s Playhouse for Christmas?
