The Quentin Movie-Q

A poem dedicated to my favorite film director, Quentin Tarantino.

According to Luis Putnam Turco's 'Book of Forms' published in 2012, a "Movie-Q" is a type of poem invented by Bill Knott, a four line poem that is intended to be humorous, or piquant, or pointed. The complete title of the film must appear in the poem with a rhyme scheme of aabb (the first two lines must rhyme with one another and the last two lines must rhyme with one another). Over the summer, I decided to take my own shot at the poem and invent a three part "Movie-Q" based on three movies by my favorite film director: Quentin Tarantino. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the "Quentin Movie-Q", soon to be updated with all eight with of his films as well as any future films he will produce in the future. Enjoy.

QUENTIN MOVIE-Q

We all saw which of the dogs in Reservoir Dogs was incognito when,
after that super-sounds of the seventies boogie-down by Madsen,
that turned Marvin into Van-Gogh,
Orange lit Blonde before Blonde lit the scarecrow.

Hans Landa, with his colossal calabash pipe, knew
Mr. LaPadite was no match to his visit that would end with adieu.
But was the Jew Hunter any match against Aldo the Apache,
to be in cahoots with the Inglorious Bastards at the cost of being labeled a Nazi?

Pulp Fiction is so cool!
You gotta love the end where the sly tongued Samuel
read Roth the omnipotent Ezekiel 25:17,
gettin’ his Bad Mother Fucker and leaving after one helluva scene.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
