U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sparked controversy after quoting what appeared to be a Bible verse during a prayer service at the Pentagon.
The passage he recited closely resembled a famous monologue from the Pulp Fiction film rather than an actual verse from the Bible.


US-Iran War: Row Over Hegseth Quoting 'Fake' Bible Verse From Pulp Fiction 

Pulp Fiction stars John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman and Harvey Keitel reunited Thursday to celebrate the movie’s 30th Anniversary as part of this year’s TCM Classic Film Festival. Watch in for more details!

Reunion of 'Pulp Fiction' at TCM Classic Film Festival

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/opinions-blogs/why-quentin-tarantino-martin-scorsese-et-al-are-right-about-marvel-movies-537156">Quentin Tarantino </a>is one of the world's most unique filmmakers with an almost flawless filmography—wholly without a bad entry. He is also known for his blunt thoughts regarding every aspect of filmmaking. He recently revealed that he rejected the demands of his producer to include Johnny Depp in his iconic 1994 film 'Pulp Fiction'. The crime drama, if you do not know already, turned Tarantino into a world-renowned director. Starring John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, Tim Roth, Ving Rhames, and Uma Thurman, the film told intertwined stories of crime in Los Angeles. To date, it remains one of the best movies from the director—if not the best.&nbsp;

While speaking to Tom Segura on his podcast, 2 Bears, 1 Cave, Tarantino revealed that he had created a list of potential actors to play the main roles. For the role of Ringo or Pumpkin (which Tim Roth went on to portray), the movie's producer Mike Medavoy was unsure of Roth in the role and wanted Depp instead. Tarantino asked him, "Do you think Johnny Depp playing the role of Pumpkin in this movie, which is the opening scene and the closing scene, that’s it, do you think that will add that much to the box office?"

In the early 1990s, Depp had become known as both a talented actor and a bankable film star. Of course, in the 2010s, he would establish himself as one of the world's top actors.

The film pleased critics, earning an impressive score of 92 per cent on the review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. The critical consensus reads, "One of the most influential films of the 1990s, Pulp Fiction is a delirious post-modern mix of neo-noir thrills, pitch-black humor, and pop-culture touchstones."

When Quentin Tarantino rejected Johnny Depp's casting in 'Pulp Fiction'

Samuel L Jackson wants Oscar voters to know that he should have an Academy Award under his belt at this point in his career. 
 
As per Variety, Jackson has only received one Oscar nomination: best supporting actor in 1995 for his role in Quentin Tarantino's 'Pulp Fiction'. 
 
"I should have won that one," Jackson recently told an outlet about his 'Pulp Fiction' Oscar nomination. 
 
Jackson was nominated that year against Martin Landau ('Ed Wood'), Chazz Palminteri ('Bullets Over Broadway'), Paul Scofield ('Quiz Show') and Gary Sinise ('Forrest Gump'). Landau was awarded the Oscar. 
 
Jackson said he missed out on another Oscar for 'Jungle Fever', for which he wasn't even nominated. Two cast members from 'Bugsy' broke into the race that year to Jackson`s disbelief. 
 
"My wife and I went to see 'Bugsy'" Jackson said. "Damn! They got nominated and I didn't? I guess Black folk usually win for doing despicable shit on screen. Like Denzel (Washington) for being a horrible cop in 'Training Day.' All the great stuff he did in uplifting roles like 'Malcolm X?' No -- we`ll give it to this motherf---er. So maybe I should have won one. But Oscars don't move the comma on your cheque -- it`s about getting asses in seats and I've done a good job of doing that." 
 
The actor suggested that any year`s highest-grossing movie should be awarded an Oscar. 
 
"They should have an Oscar for the most popular movie. Because that`s what the business is about," Jackson said, adding the Oscars "should" award 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' this year for grossing USD 1.8 billion and counting worldwide. 
 
"It did what movies did forever -- it got people to a big dark room." 
 
"All movies are valid," Jackson said. "Some go to the cinema to be moved dearly. Some like superheroes. If somebody has more butts on seats it just means your audience is not as broad. There are people who have had successful careers but nobody can recite one line of their parts. I`m the guy who says shit that`s on a T-shirt." 
 
Jackson will receive his Honorary Oscar at the 2022 Governors Awards on March 25, two days before the Oscars telecast.&nbsp;

Samuel L Jackson says 'Oscars don't move the comma on your cheque'

Ace filmmaker Quentin Tarantino is now facing a copyright infringement lawsuit for selling NFTs based on the screenplay of his film ‘Pulp Fiction’. Miramax has filed a lawsuit against the filmmaker.&nbsp;

Tarantino had first announced the NFTs at a recent crypto-art convention that took place in New York. He had said, “I’m excited to be presenting these exclusive scenes from ‘Pulp Fiction’ to fans.”

As the auction takes place, the contents of the screenplay will thus be available exclusively by the owner. It is based on the excerpts from <a data-ctorig="https://www.wionews.com/topics/quentin-tarantino" data-cturl="https://www.google.com/url?client=internal-element-cse&amp;cx=006054055338965708568:09spwrlibei&amp;q=https://www.wionews.com/topics/quentin-tarantino&amp;sa=U&amp;ved=2ahUKEwi82vat4p70AhXYwzgGHXN0A20QFnoECAcQAQ&amp;usg=AOvVaw1zYObL_FcUW-VdImJPsCjE" dir="ltr" href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/quentin-tarantino" target="_blank">Quentin Tarantino</a>’s original handwritten script for the film. However, Miramax is not happy as they insist that the filmmaker did not consult them before announcing the NFTs. They still own the rights of the 1994 classic film ‘Pulp Fiction’.&nbsp;

Miramax’s attorneys have sent a cease and desist letter seeking to block the sale, but that has not stopped Tarantino and his team from moving forward. Miramax argues that NFTs are a one-time sale, and are not equivalent to publication of a screenplay, and that therefore Miramax owns the NFT rights. The suit states claims of breach of contract, copyright infringement, trademark infringement and unfair competition.

Quentin Tarantino and team are yet to respond to this lawsuit.&nbsp;
