A monolith brings a bad omen;
HAL 9000 reads lips, then one Bowman
causes HAL to regress;
and then—what a mess!—
looks like Bowman's in someone's abdomen!

Oh, good, three from Nigel that I recognize.

The Ghost-writer
Un Chien Andalou
Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot

[Ann Drysdale]

Anyone fancy two for the price of one?

Marlene sang of a Berlin post-blitz
Resurrected from rubble and splits;
Lilo jumped on a table
And shattered the fable
By kicking the vision to bits.

[Marion Shore]

A terrorist who fled the scene is
Drawn to a bar-singing Venus.
But the guy is dismayed
When he tries to get laid
And discovers the girl has DELETED BECAUSE OF SPOILER

[Ann Drysdale]

Oh, Marion, you tease - how could you? That's a crying - er - shame?

The number of posts on this thread is already well past 101 (as in Dalmatians), but will we make it to Pedro's "2001"?'

[Brian Allgar]

Ooops! Wrong thread! (I'm referring to the contents of a post I deleted, since I haven't found a way of deleting the post itself.)

[Marion Shore]

We might make Pedro's 2001 but if we want to finish by 2012 we better hurry.

By the way, Brian, I assume you're working on Dalmatians even as I write.

[Pedro Poitevin]

Marion and Brian–– we might just make it to 2001 in 2012.

David R.'s Titanic is awesome. Here's a remake. (I confess I never watched it, beware!)

It's the dullest of trips transoceanic
til an iceberg destroys the Titanic,
then it sinks sentimental,
and it's not coincidental:
that's exactly the moment I panic.

When a lunatic cleric dismembers
his brethren, and some burn to embers,
Brother William finds clues
while young Adso screws,
and now hers is the face he remembers.
