With the Oscars coming up, I’ve been going to see as many Best Picture nominees as I can squeeze into my weekends.  

Here’s some haiku for a few of them. If you’re not familiar with haiku, it’s a form of poetry consisting of 3 lines, with 5 syllables in the first and third lines and 7 syllables in the second.

Les Mis — lovesick girl
The guy’s into someone else
Get a clue — move on

Silver Lining plot:
Bradley Cooper runs amok
Finds girl, settles down

Lincoln — such a mensch
Wish I could go back in time
And, well — you can guess

Zero Dark Thirty
It’s hard to have a sex life
While waterboarding

Argo — fake movie
Got those people the hell out
Ben with a beard — nice!
