movie-ku #101

Floor of the theater
Slickened with new-spilled butter
On years-smoothed old floors

Gabby old women
can ruin I Am Legend.
Pack your shit and leave.

I know it sucks, but it's my first one. Based off of a personal experience of mine and my uncle's when we went to see a certain Will Smith movie a few nights ago.

MaryAnn's haiku reminds me of a "hypothetical" game some of my old Microsoft coworkers and I used to play: How much money would it take for you to do 'x', where 'x' is some task you ordinarily wouldn't perform? My favorite was always "How much money for you to run your tongue across the entire floor of a movie theatre, from one end of a row to the other?"

You'd be surprised how low the required reward was sometimes.

who I am


I'm MaryAnn Johanson: geek goddess, film critic, and Generation Xer. I'm a writer and ponderer in New York City who drinks too much wine and thinks way too much about such inconsequences as movies, TV, books, and the meaning of life.
