    So much more fun than this item is how much fun Foster is having with it. "Breathe, Foster." Adorable.

    Speaking of reptiles on flying machines....

    In the "life is stranger than fiction" department, a guy was arrested in L.A. a couple of days ago for trying to smuggle lizards onto an airplane:

    The only advice I can offer, Foster, is when Nick hands you a briefcase for safekeeping, do NOT misplace it.

    @snugbug: Hmmm. Well, if you want to believe Wikipedia:
    "Tarantino has said that there is no explanation for its contents—it is simply a MacGuffin, a pure plot device . . . For filming purposes, it contained a hidden orange light bulb that produced an otherworldly glow." [en.wikipedia.org]

    @Glib and Bitchy: Oh, curses! That's such an unsatisfying explanation. I always preferred to interpret the content of the briefcase as Swiss gold ingots. Which begs the question, for what reason would Marcellus Wallace pass those priceless assets on to some lowly, loser drug distributors? I love spending time in the logic universe of Pulp Fiction..

    @snugbug: I've heard it's Marcellus Wallace's soul, which is why he had the band-aid on the back of his neck, which is why it glowed gold every time someone in the movie was killed, which is why "it's beautiful," which is why "divine intervention" happens when the guy comes at Vince and Jules with the hand-cannon, and why Jules decides to stop killing for Marcellus at the end of the movie. Somewhere in literature someone took a soul out of the back of someone's neck. And Tarantino told people the MacGuffin thing--which is true, which it categorically still is--to throw them off the scent of a "cult" movie secret.

    @Foster Kamer: So that means there could be a new show that combines this with a relaunch of Angel, with just the good parts, if there's trafficking in souls and all, plus throw in Dollhouse and Buffy. Call it Vincent & Jules & Buffy & Angel in the Dollhouse.

    @Foster Kamer: Yes. Wallace's soul. That's what I've heard, too.

    I thought the band-aid at the back of Marcellus' neck was because Ving Rhames cut himself shaving, put the band-aid on, and Tarantino thought it added to the character's menacing persona.

    @Foster Kamer: Oooh, I love this theory.. It's also supported by the fact that we see Marcellus Wallace shot only from the back during his first on-screen appearance, the "In the fifth, your ass goes down" scene, with the Band-Aid prominently displayed. He's lecturing Butch about the emptiness of pride and honor because he's himself a soulless shell.. Existential!

    @OrneryBabe: How do you "cut yourself shaving" in the back of your head?

    PS: Nevermind, I'm dumb. Ving Rhames is bald all over, so yes--plausible he cut himself shaving is own head/neck.
