Predators
A Challenge Within!

Wasted third act, but
incorrectly citing sources
is its greatest sin
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I despise this movie. Not only is there a distinct lack of character motivation, a 3rd act that makes no sense, and an utterly inexcusable misquoting of the source material (three people survive the original Predator movie, it's pretty clear! ((also objectively a great movie and I'll hear nothing to the contrary)), but I've dedicated way too much brain power trying to devise a way this movie would actually work...Spoiler alert, there isn't one.
Oh yeah, the promised challenge. I forget you're not all here to listen to me prattle on...
If there is one thing that's synonymous with Halloween, it's bad movies (ironically, Halloween (1978) not a bad movie)...digressing again, damn it!
*Second ninja edit digression* I would like to go on record and say that yes I understand these are really Senryu's...Haiku makes for better branding...carry on...
Similar to competitions I've run in the past, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write me a bad movie review haiku!
Now because we are using English, a language that most of the time makes no god damn sense, there's two interpretations to this prompt I will allow. You may either submit:
- a "BAD MOVIE review"
- or a "bad MOVIE REVIEW" (Examples here for the uninitiated)
Rules:
The Rules are pretty simple, and my lawyer says I have to include them...
- Entries must follow 5-7-5 format
- Unlimited Entries, but a person can only win once
- Entry must be commented on this post
- I encourage, but it is not required, that you link this post in your entry
- We'll run this until midnight CST on 10/15. I'll announce winners on 10/16.
- Them's it for the rules. Selection criteria is my gut and good tastes. You've been warned.
Prizes:
- $3 to the winner
- $1 to the runner up
- $1 to the person who makes me laugh the hardest
Go forth and enjoy bad movies!
