haiku reviews

Iron Man



WMDs
dry wit mixed with gadgetry
Downey rocks this role

Forgetting Sarah Marshall



vampire puppets
raunchy, yet sweet and funny
full frontal dude-age

21





slick plot moves swiftly
cards add up to twenty-one
Spacey oozes cool

I'd love to go see a gothic Dracula rock opera. Vampire puppets are classic. (loved that part)

As always, I love the reviews. I didn't see "Sarah Marshall" yet, so I have not clue what is going on with Vampire Puppets. I think Anonymous is refering to the last line from that movie's haiku. Unless you read it as Daaa-Ooood. Maybe you can end it with WOW, if it applies.

A keen eye anon. Thank you. I wrote that a while back and originally had "full frontal dudity"--which I thought was too funny but w/one two many syllables. Then I hastily changed it.

Laura, "wow" does NOT apply here. More like "Oh No!" "Yikes" "Enough already!" Which would be WAY too many syllables.

Oh, thanks for the clarification.
Dude-age is pretty funny.
