'Side Effects' Contest: Win A Poster Signed By Cast Members With An Ode To Your Fave Pharmaceutical
Calling all Steven Soderbergh fans and movie-loving hypochondriacs. Time to cue up Pink's "Just Like A Pill" on Spotify and get your haiku mojo working. Movieline will give away a Side Effects poster signed by cast members Rooney Mara, Channing Tatum, Jude Law, Vinessa Shaw and Dr. Sasha Bardey to the armchair bard who, in our opinion, writes the most addictive haiku inspired by his or her favorite pharmaceutical or the movie itself.
Here are the rules: Submit an original haiku (using the 5-7-5 format) inspired by Side Effects or the prescription — as in legal — drug of your choice, in the comments section below. The contest is open to ages 18 and up and the winner must be a U.S. resident. Deadline for entries is noon Pacific Standard Time on Feb. 20. Now, get popping. We're expecting lots of odes to Adderall. And for additional inspiration, here's the Side Effects guerrilla marketing Ablixa video.
Side Effects opens nationwide on Feb. 8

Clouds are above me
Begins to wash over me
You have now saved me
One more milligram
Receptors overloaded
Vicodin joyride
Woo-hoo! Very Queens of the Stone Age.
Austin, how do I reach you?
Just two tiny pills
Make all pain go away
But only for now.
Sick of all the tears
Happiness I envision
In need of a pill
Found cure for the mind
I Better lock up and hide soon
Because here comes the fog
Nice!
Tricks are not relevant now
I have these bricks of chemical now
Soothe and need not worry
Sad? Try Ablixa
A side effect is sleepwalking
Is it really though?
Ablixa I take
Not just walking through the day
Murder when i wake
EDIT TO MY POST ABOVE:
Sad? Try Ablixa
Side effect is sleepwalking
Is it really though?
Controlling my mind
I'm just along for the ride
Life is but a dream
Claritin, my love
I can not breathe without you
Side effects be damned
