I totally forgot about that movie! I remember watching a couple scenes of it in my computer class one day when I was slacking off and having no idea what I was watching. Shits fucked up.
They're $80, likely because of the movie and the sole supply coming from Chinese surplus, but I'm willing to bet we'll see some enterprising companies get to work on some copies soon.
The internet: Where every single other part of Hakiu tradition is irrelevant, because you can't count the juxtaposition between imagery/ideas. Yes I know that he didn't do that at all either. That's not the point. Random Haiku Facts- On and Syllables are not the same thing, with, for example, "On" being one syllable but two On - it's very similar to the English linguistic concept of Mora. If I'm sounding it right, the first line is six on, second is nine, and the third is seven.
Also, third point - I think he was gunning for making a joke, rather than writing perfectly(or imperfectly, as it were) correct haiku.
So, apparently my father has met the technical director of EA Games tonight at a Coyote's Hockey game, whom he described as the geek ruler of all the geeks in the company. From what my father described, he apparently talks to teams all across the world, travels all the time, and has one of those black American Express cards. So while they were talking, my father mentioned to him about my interest in programming and how much I liked to play video games, and a rough summary of what he said on that comment was that being a game programmer is long, boring, tedious work and that most gaming companies are more focused on art designers than programmers. He suggested that if I am really good at mathematics and interested in programming, I should look into data structure management, click counts and applying those to advertisements, and Google related stuff, because apparently that is where all the jobs are at.
Not that I was thinking about becoming a game programmer in the first place, but from hearing what my father said, it would have been really interesting to have listened and talked to this dude. But instead, I got to play mommy for the day and drive kids all around town and deal with one of my pain-in-the-ass siblings. -_-

Also, internet "haiku" never have the kireji that is essential to all real haiku. Here's my favorite true haiku, from Yosa Buson:
I cannot see her tonight. I have to give her up. So I will eat fugu.
EDIT: On further examination, Churba might have been referring to the kireji, but I'm leaving my post up because that Buson haiku is made of awesome.

Moreso, I want that shovel in Minecraft.
I'd buy one. That shovel makes the US field shovel look like a joke.
Put it in T-Shape, stick the handle in the ground, start a fire under the blade, cook on the back.
