MHC 49: It's A Wonderful Life
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Wednesday FWFR time), the votes are tallied and the top three places are announced. |

George loses profits
Wins community respect
And Clarence gets wings
Whippersnapper
Trapped in Bedford Falls.
But George from Save And Loan ain't
Alone after all.
Montgomery
"Hot dog!" George won't leave
Bedford Falls, but he'll find love
and Zuzu's petals.
Sludge
Clarence, like Bedford
Falls for George. Epiphan... I
want to live again!
Baftababe
Angel, Falls, Christmas.
Three Capra ingredients
Make a feel-good film.

I've voted!
Personally I blame George for the state of Bedford Falls. 
If it hadn't been for his pointless attempts to paliate the evils of capitalism for the downtodden masses then the intolerable conditions of Pottersville would have surely brought about the Revolution, and consequently the true victory of the Human Spirit over oppression. 
Or maybe not...

If he had taken Potters job offer and then roped in Sam Wainwright with his plastics company between the three of then they could have turned Bedford Falls into a little goldmine...
....but who are we to question Master Capra!!??!!
Oh and I voted on you haikus my friends.

Wow! I guess it really is a Wonderful Life.
I'm going to have to think, think, think to come up with a movie that's even half as great as that choice was, so bear with me.
