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.

––Christian Chacon

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
