movie haiku

Pretty much this, in poetry form… Mourn the revival DVD put to rest the Joy of mass worship

Cuz it’s just ads, ads, ads everywhere these days… The preshow hard sell Mechanics of film commerce Like watching TV

And another haiku, to catch up on yesterday’s lack of one… Fire up the TiVo! It’s not on DVD yet TCM hogs it

Guess the character: Man in the mirror Wonders who is gazing back No one else is there

A second today, since I forgot to post a haiku yesterday: ‘Saw IV’: your in-flight Movie as you’re rendered to A secret prison

Because I’m seeing this tonight, and will probably buy the new DVD box set when it’s released in December: ‘Blade Runner’’s new cut An advance of art on film? Or DVD ad?

Guess the movie character! (Starting you off with an easy one…) Straight outta Joisey More ways than one a rock star He’s the uber geek

More TV-ku: Oh for satellite BBC thrills with great tube I must ship o’erseas

Second in a series of British TV-ku… In London: theatre Film, TV, all in one place. Crossover dazzles

And since you didn’t get a haiku yesterday — I was somewhat distracted — here’s another, the first in a series about my recently renewed and deepened addiction to British television. Call it a TV-ku… When TV’s so good It makes you think of fil-um: Nirvana for geeks
