So, unless Cheese_Ed jumps in and tells me this movie has been done.
(LONG PAUSE) How about we spend a little time with Mr. Orange and Brown and White and all the rest of that crayon box.
Here are the rules.
----
Abbreviated rules borrowed from here to encourage some new entrants ....(thanks Bife)
The Rules
The first line of a haiku poem has five syllables.
The second line of a haiku poem has seven syllables.
The third, and final, line of a haiku poem 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. 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 MHC. The voting is as follows:
3 pts fwfrer a
2 pts fwfr b
1 pt fwfr c
--------------------------------
You cannot vote for yourself.
You can vote for the previous winner
You vote by sending Sludge, whose life is deeply enriched by the experience, your votes in a PM (Private Message).
You may vote only once.
When the voting deadline ends (9pm Thursday of next week FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced.--
Depart from them at your own peril.
And remember, Mr. Purple is on a different heist.
EM :)

Sorry about the confusion. As you can tell, I didn't read the rules (as, I don't feel rules ever really apply to me.  ).
But, that's cool. We figured it out and we move on.
Not so for the characters in Reservoir Dogs.
But, Sludge has tallied and sent the results to me. (Thank you, Sludge) And thank you Whipper for setting the haikus all together for me earlier. I really am useless as the keeper of the haiku contest. Let's hope the next person does better. 
Okie Dokie.
RESULTS for Movie Haiku #50: Reservoir Dogs
Third favorite Reservoir Dogs haiku, with
7 points
. . . Nope, it's not Mr. Pink. He ran away and got shot outside. (Or didn't. There's debate about this one.)
Congratulations -
mampers (3 2 2)
Second favorite Reservoir Dogs haiku, with
8 points
No, it's not Mr. Orange. He was gut shot and bled all over a storeroom floor, while trying to convince Mr. White he wasn't the snitch. (Spoiler -- He was!)
Monty (3 3 2)
First prize
with 9 points
And bragging rights until the next haiku.
Let's see your best Michael Madsen dance to "Stuck in the middle", while slicing off a cop's ear.
I think it's his first win, too.
So, give it up for . . .
 BEANMIMO
(vote breakdown of 3 3 2 1)
orange bleeds in car
kietel finds he is stuck in
the middle again.
You've won...
Speech!
Beanmimo, please select a film for Movie Haiku #51. Make sure it
was NOT a film from
previous
rounds.
EVERYONE, you are now free to post any alternative Haiku you may have. Or free prose, if you're RedPen.

Funny! I'd prefer it that way too, but as I read the repaste of the rules I thought it was still on me to do this. Honest mistake, but I think that's the reason I was receiving the votes.
From now on, people can take this on by changing the following line when posting the rules:
You vote by sending Sludge, whose life is deeply enriched by the experience, your votes in a PM (Private Message).
For the next round, I request that this round's winner please change "Sludge" to "your host (me)" if you are willing to tally the votes.
---------
Okay, I've tallied and sent results to Monty and she'll announce.

Uhm ... I thought we voted with the person who does the original post ... sorry. Will PM you pronto.
I thought so, too. And was ready to do my duty. But, if Sludge wants to do it, that's cool beans by me.
I had forwarded on your votes, Baft.

Looks like my haiku was wrongly posted. Here is an updated vote. Hope it does not affect voting.
Sunglasses and suits.
Bloody Mexican standoff.
Diamonds. MacGuffin.

WHY DO I HAVE TO BE MISTER PINK

Okay, let's get this caper wrapped up.
Vote to me by PM. Bafta already has. 
If someone wants to put all the haikus together, like I've seen done in other haiku threads, that would be great. I don't know how to do it, without writing them all out and then retyping them. And I'm too lazy to do that. Sorry. It's late here. Night all.
EM :)

another haiku.
