Pulp magazine

battered fedora down on Indiana's head, and then we flash forward to the era of World War II. The opening sequence of this third Indiana Jones movie is the only one that seems truly original - or perhaps I should say, it recycles images from 1940s pulps and serials that Spielberg has not borrowed before. The rest of the movie will not come as a surprise to students of Indiana Jones, but then how could it? The Jones movies by now have defined a familiar world of death-defying stunts, virtuoso…

Pulp Fiction is a film directed by Quentin Tarantino, which stars John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Bruce Willis, and Samuel L. Jackson, and it was released October 14, 1994. It takes a very different approach to film by using a vignette style with each vignette not necessarily in order. It follows the lives of several characters that revolve around the gang boss Marcellus Wallace, and how they intertwine. Vincent (Travolta) and Jules (Jackson) are two hitmen for Marcellus and they are charged with…

subtext drew me to analyzing some of his biggest films. Nearly every film he has released to the public has used religion, creating even more controversy. From noticing the irony of Buddhism in Kill Bill, I decided to go further and examine the infamous Pulp Fiction and one of his newer box office hits, Inglourious Basterds. Both of these films tie in one similar theme of two of the biggest religions in the world, violence in Christianity and violence in Judaism. I chose to address these topics…

Domtar is one of the biggest paper producers in the world and the biggest in the U.S. at the moment. They make paper pulp (the substance that is made into paper) and paper itself. This is significant because that means that they do not sell to the general population, like one would usually see in a magazine ad, but they sell to large corporations. This explains the lack of a product being mentioned on the ad because the company is not selling to the readers. They…
