It’s Thursday!!!!!! Woooo Hoo and junk! I think you all know what that means. Once again, it’s time for Thursday Haiku Madness! Today, we’re going to do something a little different. Today, the haikus will all be movie lines. I will start with haikus built with lines from some of my favorite movies, and I invite you to do the same.
To add to the fun and frivolity, I also invite you to guess what movies these haikus came from. I’m hoping that some readers will have great, obscure lines from sleepers or little known lines from great films to share. In any event, I’m tossing out a couple rules, but replacing them with others, so pay close attention. Here goes.
1. Comments can either be haikus made from movie lines or guesses as to what movies previous haikus are from;or just a plain old comment. Comments are always appreciated. Just join the fun.
2. Please number haikus, so when people guess, there is less confusion. Example: mine will be 1,2,3, etc. The first person who adds their own will number theirs 4, 5, 6 and so on.
3. If you need to abbreviate, or paraphrase to fit your lines into a haiku, that’s okay, as long as the overall meaning and recognizability (ooh! Did I just make a new word?) of your movie quote isn’t lost.
4. Later in the week, I’ll try to do a sum up, with the best guesses, most guesses and guesses that were wayyyyyy off.
5. As always, please have fun!
On with the show!………………………..

Ack! Delete and I’ll repost. (Sorry!)
Who’s the more foolish?
Everyone loves a slinky!
Inconceivable!
That’s Awesome! I think I know what it is, but I’ve removed myself from guessing. Thanks!
Why have you removed yourself from guessing? And it’s three different movies…
I just want to moderate and let everyone else play. 3 different movies? Hmmm, well I definitely know what the last line is then.
Eh, play along AND moderate! Do you even need to moderate?
Maybe moderate is the wrong choice of words. I meant I’ll just compile a different post this weekend with all the haikus and the guesses.
Oh…I get it. Nevermind then.
I do, too. I can’t stand it.
“I wave my private,”
Said the rude Frenchman above,
“Parts at your aunties!”
I love it!!!! Thank you!
great one!
Monty Python is
still playing in college dorms
everywhere. Awesome.
Your mother is a
moose. A moose ate my sister.
Love the subtitles.
They are timeless, aren’t they? I loved them as a kid, and my kids think they’re pretty damn funny too. So many quotable lines.
The problems of two
Amount to a hill of beans
Play it again, Sam…
Very nice work. I like!
Awwww. you are just saying that…
Casablanca is
great, but I like the Woody
Allen version best.
I just threw those out there, so it isn’t commentary on my favorite movies so much as just another way to show how clever I am. But I take your point.
Oh wait, this is haiku too. You may be an evil genius!
Thanks *blush* – I think it’s just how I think. I admit to tweaking a bit to make the syllables work.
But you did conversational haiku. That rocks.
(One more, done properly!)
Business is boomin’!
May I smoke my pipe, as well?
Ooh, that’s a bingo!
Ooh! I have no idea what that is. Good job! I hope someone can guess. Thanks so much for playing!
Luke, I’m your father
The force is strong in this one.
You’re my only hope…
Nice! Loved your Hotspur post by the way. Stupid WP making it hard to leave and answer comments lately.
Why do they keep messing with stuff.
I don’t know. I was perfectly happy with the way it was before. Maybe we should all pack our bags and move over to Blogger~not. I’d never do that.
We can rise up and storm the tower.
Star Wars part four, or
the original or the
updated fourth one?
So many versions
of just one movie. Lucas
is a wiz at that.
I can’t believe you did that as a haiku… you are off the hook. Awesomsausage.
Thanks!
No, thank you…
Am I going to have to give up the haiku tiara today? You’re on fire! You and Brain Tomohawk, he’s doing movie haikus at his place too~ but of course, he’s doing it because he thinks I’m so vunderbar.
Thanks! I still have to come up with my own movie line one though…until I can do that, I’m just an amateur here.
Our names don’t mean shit
Say ‘what’ again I dare you
Did you bring the watch?
Perfect! I’ve been waiting for that one. Too bad “A pig is a tasty animal” is too many syllables.
And sewer rat might taste like punkin’ pie…:)
But you’re not gonna eat it, are you? LOL
Beam him up, Mr. Scott.
It’s worse than that, he’s dead, Jim.
You Klingon bastards!
Hi there, Nice to see you. Hope you had a nice holiday season, haven’t exchanged witty comments with you in quite a few weeks. Glad you stopped by. Kick ass haiku by the way, thanks!
My favorite! Thanks
for bringing in the coolest
of all. Love Star Trek!
Love to watch movies
But did not follow rules
I apologize
No sweat! Like I care? Just glad you dropped by. Some great ones today, don’t you agree?
For sure.
I’m just a girl, stand-
ing in front of a boy, ask-
ing him to love her.
(All natural haiku….evidently I’m not the only one who thinks like this!)
ok well I don;t really understand haiku, I recognize some of the movies though and i am willing to give it a shot.. don’t laugh – or do thats ok too..
‘e must be a king
can you tell by looking?
‘e;s not shit covered.
I probably totally bombed that but it was fun.
Have you seen my son?
You know he’s got lucky fin.
Won’t tell you blue-ie.
When all else is fail,
Just pick me up and throw me.
Jack Jack, not a game.
I am an eye ball.
My friend is huge blue scary.
I’d rather do stand-up.

Was looking forward to this all week and somehow completely missed it yesterday. So, sorry for the late entries. It seemed like Princess Bride and Monty Python and Star Wars and Star Trek had already been well represented, so I did my haikus along an entirely different theme.
Hi there! No worries. So glad you stopped by. I love this. I think I know what it is. But I’ll let our friends guess.
Tag, you’re it!
