Mmmm, That Is a Tasty Blu-ray: 'Pulp Fiction' Makes Debut
Miramax
After causing a stir with "Reservoir Dogs," Quentin Tarantino made the too-cool-for-school film that would define his career and inspire a generation of aspiring film geeks with 1994's "Pulp Fiction." Tarantino and Roger Avary won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay and you can thank -- or blame -- the film for reigniting the career of John Travolta, who was also Oscar-nominated for his role as twist-dancing gangster Vincent Vega.
"Pulp Fiction" features many of the Tarantino-isms that have cropped up in all of his films since, including an affinity for nonlinear storytelling, the uncontrollable urge to drop as many N-words as possible and an obsession for punchy dialogue and oddball characters. Tarantino's world is one parallel to our own except infinitely groovier and more casually violent. Get More »

Movie Icons Re-Imagined as 'South Park' Characters
NextMovie
Comedy Central's "South Park" returns for its 15th season this week ... with, of course, an episode making fun of Asperger's Syndrome. (It's entitled "Ass Burgers.")
The show's cutout animation may be simple, but Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny have become some of the most indelible characters in cartoon history.
So, naturally, we've always wondered how "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker would have applied their signature style to some of our favorite movie icons. Our old mate Old Red Jalopy was up to the task. Get More »

In all of film history, the word "what" has never had such a climactic effect on a single movie as it did in "Pulp Fiction." And Samuel L. Jackson, who uttered the word in Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece , can't get enough of it.
The famous scene -- not to mention Jackson's favorite quote from the movie -- is his ringtone, and you can hear it when you watch this exclusive interview with Jackson on MTV.

Vincent and Jules Ride Again in 'Li'l Pulp Fiction'

Apparently a whole new generation is being influenced by the work of Quentin Tarantino.
"Pulp Fiction," even after 17 years, continues to inspire various spoofs with its colorful characters, endlessly quotable dialogue and bizarre situations. However, we think this is the first "Pulp Fiction" spoof we've ever seen that stars actors who were nowhere near even being born when the movie first came out. Get More »

Neon Movie Ads Way Cooler Than Actual Movie Posters
Mr. Whaite
Just when you think animated GIFs are an antiquated relic of Internet circa-1990s, someone comes up with a new and inventive idea that rejuvenates the medium.
The artist known only as Mr. Whaite decided to try his hand at creating the following neon movie ads, combining a love of film with 1960s pop art. It's hard to pick out a favorite among the lot, but we're partial to "Psycho," if only to see Norman Bates' "mother" slash through the title in beautiful meta goodness.
Seriously, though, we'll take these posters over the original ones released by the studios any day. Get More »

Movies: Just As Cool in Typography Form
YouTube
It's admittedly difficult to explain why kinetic typography is so fascinating. If you're not familiar with the concept, it involves transcribing the audio of a scene into flashy visual type that makes graphic designers swoon. So, for example, a scream would command a bigger font size than a whisper.
The most famous of these is the classic "What does Marsellus Wallace look like?" scene from "Pulp Fiction," though it's far from the only example. Get More »
