The Pulp Fiction Movie Page
Tarantino's second movie is 1994's Pulp Fiction. It stars John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, Ving Rhames, and Uma Thurman. The movie title is a reference to the early 20th century book genre "pulp fiction" known for its cheap, pulpy paper pages and underworld topics such as: gangsters, violence, drugs, and overtly sexual (for the time) situations. Probably the most famous writers from this genre were Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler.
Jules' Red and Black Board Shorts/Swim Trunks
Does anyone know what kind of board shorts/swim trunks Jules wears toward the end of the movie? I know it's a minute detail but I'm thinking of doing this character for an upcoming event and really want to nail all the details if possible. Any help if greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

The Gold Watch story in Pulp Fiction, an In-depth Analysis
Rob Ager, the film critic behind collativelearning.com gives an in-depth analysis of The Gold Watch scene in Pulp Fiction. He uses video and narrative to build a case that much more symbolism and story is being transmitted than first meets the eye.
Anyone with more than a casual interest in the film will appreciate Mr. Ager's analysis as it will give the viewer even more to think about during subsequent viewings of the film. Nicely done!
Is Vincent Vega Jesus?
Vincent Vega represents Jesus. It's so obvious, once you look at it this way, everything lines up, but amazingly I haven't found anything making this connection in the movie's 20 years of existence.

"Don't you fucking realize, man, that if Bonnie comes home and finds a body in her house, I'm going to get divorced? Alright, no marriage counselor, no trial separation. I'm going to get fucking divorced, OK? And I don't want to get fucking divorced. Now, man, you know, fuck, I want to help you but I don't want to lose my wife doing it, all right."
Tarantino on Letterman 1994
I remember this interview as it it were yesterday. Letterman is his normal "not funny since the 80's" self and Quentin is clearly still basking in his newly acquired fame. Classic.

10 Things You Never Knew About PULP FICTION
There a ton of these "10 things" clickbait videos floating around the Web. So we try to only post the good ones ... the fun ones where we actually learn something or smile.
This one by Movieweb is pretty good... both well-written and edited. They somehow even snuck in a "Let's do it for Johnny!". Amazing.

What happened to the Gimp?
GIMP (gĭmp) n. (1) a derrogatory term for someone that is disabled or has a medicial problem that results in physical impairment. (2) An insult implying that someone is incompetent, stupid, etc. Can also be used to imply that the person is uncool or can't/won't do what everyone else is doing.The Gimp is perhaps a plot device to the hypocrisy of LA policemen. They are supposed to always "protect and serve" but sometimes they "do other things" to you. Or perhaps The Gimp is an updated version of Bill McKinney's role as the "backwoodsman" rapist in Deliverance? Whatever the deal, it remains a cinematic icon forever. But what happened to him? Please speculate
