"Kaiju" is Japanese for "giant monster". "Haiku" is Japanese for "little poem". "Review" is Japanese for -- well, possibly "my aunt's hat" or "a small fish that is mostly poisonous" -- I don't know, I don't speak Japanese. But in English, it means "my opinion, and you'll darn well like it". Please feel free to submit Kaiju Haiku of your own to tcfhhaiku@theycamefromhollywood.com, and I'll post 'em here. Remember, the rules are: a) must be about a giant monster movie (or reasonably large monster, heck, any movie that has a decent monster in it...I am not counting the horrifically cute and perky Meg Ryan), b) probably doesn't rhyme, c) 5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables.
Tometheus (who sends this haiku) is really neat, although probably not full of turtle meat:
GAMERA 3: REVENGE OF IRIS (1999)
Gamera can do...
The monster Iris can't do...
Darn this form, haiku!
