"Say 'what' again. I dare you!"

Never has a one-worded question — "What?" — yielded more devastating results than in this classic scene from "Pulp Fiction." The Quentin Tarantino masterpiece arrives on Blu-ray next Tuesday (October 4), but before that, take some time to revisit that oh-so classic "What?," a moment that lives in infamy not just in the minds of cinephiles everywhere, but also in Samuel L. Jackson's very own ring tone.

You'll see what I mean when you watch this exclusive "Pulp Fiction" featurette, a behind-the-scenes interview with Jackson that will not be featured on the Blu-ray. This is your only chance to hear the glorious sound of SLJ's cell phone!

Warning: the following clip is NSFW due to explicit language. Proceed with caution!

(And for whatever it's worth, yes, they do speak English in "What?.")

When Chelsea Handler and 50 Cent were spotted enjoying each others' company at a New Orleans jazz club this past weekend, rumors that the comedian and rapper-actor were dating came fast and furious. Just as fast (but not quite so furious) came Handler's denial via Twitter (naturally) that she and Fiddy were an item. "Everyone, calm down," she tweeted on Wednesday night. "I met with Mr. Cent about a potential project. There's nothing to report yet, I'll let you know if there is."

Honestly, we really don't care whether Handler and, um, Mr. Cent are dating -- if they are, more power to 'em -- but the idea of them teaming up for a "potential project" is utterly fascinating. Could it be a music video? A duet? Or -- and please let this be the case -- a movie? If it is a movie, would it be a comedy, drama, romance, actioner or... erotic thriller? Whatever the case, we've got a few ideas for movie remakes -- from "Batman & Robin" (seriously, they'd be awesome as the dynamic duo) to "Pulp Fiction" (can't you just see Handler playing an assassin who gets killed while on the toilet?) -- that would suit the two of them just smashingly.

Sally Menke and Quentin TarantinoIt's a sad day in Hollywood, especially for Quentin Tarantino fans.

Sally Menke, a film editor known for working with the fan-favorite director on all of his movies, was found dead along a Los Angeles hiking trail on Tuesday, the L.A. Coroner's Office has confirmed to CNN.

Menke, 56, had gone hiking with a friend on Monday, when the thermometer hit a scalding 113 degrees, making it the hottest day on record for Los Angeles since the National Weather Service started keeping tabs 133 years ago. Read More...

Quentin TarantinoAlthough the two years since “Death Proof” is quite short by his usual between-project timeframes, Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film might be his most comprehensive, well thought out storyline yet. So says Samm Levine and Omar Doom, two of the “Inglourious Basterds” actors in the World War II flick, which hits theaters on August 21.

“It’s a great movie,” Levine said of the Brad Pitt/Mike Myers/Eli Roth-led Nazi-hunting not-a-remake, which he estimated got “at least” a ten minute ovation at the Cannes Film Festival. “You really can’t say much more other than that.” Read More...

Eli RothFor my money, the best director out there right now is Quentin Tarantino. And for exactly that reason, the number one most-anticipated film for me in 2009 has always been “Inglourious Basterds.” When I caught up with leading man/director/Tarantino bud Eli Roth, he clued me in on some secret “winks” for the fans of “Reservoir Dogs,” “Pulp Fiction” and the rest – and naturally, now I’m just even more stoked.

“We have the ‘40’s version of Red Apple cigarettes,” Roth revealed, making reference to the fictional cancer sticks smoked by characters in Tarantino’s films. “Quentin had all of his products transported back in time.” Read More...

Samuel L. Jackson"Pulp Fiction" shot him to superstardom, he had a hilarious-but-intense role in "Jackie Brown," and eagle-eyed fans might have even noticed Samuel J. Jackson behind the piano in a brief "Kill Bill" cameo. So now that Quentin Tarantino has his much-hyped script for "Inglorious Bastards" completed, and half the world has seemingly read it, will he be playing the role of African-American role?

"I called him to find out if I had to learn French or not!" Jackson laughed when we asked him this week, insisting that he'd love to reteam with QT once again. "Because the only black person in the script spoke French." Read More...

If you were famous, would you flaunt it?

Would you be someone like Johnny Depp, Seth Rogen and “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson, who play down their star-quality every chance they get – thereby making us want to make them even bigger stars? Or would you be someone like the big-name actor I was interviewing yesterday, who really does seem like the type of guy who’d carry a wallet reading: “Bad Motherf-cker.”

Take a look at the video and you’ll see me talking to Samuel L. Jackson about his hit TV show and soon-to-be videogame “Afro Samurai.” Suddenly, I hear something familiar interrupting us, but I don’t know where it’s coming from.

Yep, it’s Samuel L. Jackson’s “Ezekiel 25:17” speech from “Pulp Fiction.”

“Are you pushing something,” I asked. “Or am I losing my mind? “That’s my phone,” Sam Jackson replied, fessing up. “And it’s Frank Miller! Damn! Read More...
