John Travolta’s Vincent Vega in<em> Pulp Fiction</em> is the brother of Michael Madsen’s Vic Vega in <em>Reservoir Dogs</em>, Harvey Keitel’s Mr. White worked with Alabama from <em>True Romance</em>, the plot basis for <em>Kill Bill</em> is described as the synopsis for a TV series in <em>Pulp Fiction</em>, etc.</p> <p>Now the epiphany that Eli Roth’s character of Donny Donowitz aka “The Bear Jew” in <em>Inglourious Basterds</em> is the father of the movie producer Lee Donowitz in <em>True Romance</em> has inspired a truly mind-blowing theory that the rest of the films (chronologically speaking) in Tarantino’s filmography take place in a world where [<em>Inglorious Basterds</em> spoiler] World War II came to an end when Adolf Hitler was brutally murdered in a movie theater by the Basterds.</p> <p>This initial connection was brought up in an article on <a href="http://www.cracked.com/article_19323_6-movie-tv-universes-that-overlap-in-mind-blowing-ways.html">Cracked</a>, but a poster on <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ubaqq/what_fan_theories_have_blown_your_mind_with_their/c4tzvnn">Reddit</a> (via <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/davechensky">David Chen’s Twitter</a>) has more eloquently summed up what this means for Tarantino’s movieverse:</p> <p><em>As it turns out, Donny Donowitz, ‘The Bear Jew’, is the father of movie producer Lee Donowitz from True Romance – which means that, in Tarantino’s universe, everybody grew up learning about how a bunch of commando Jews machine gunned Hitler to death in a burning movie theater, as opposed to quietly killing himself in a bunker. Because World War 2 ended in a movie theater, everybody lends greater significance to pop culture, hence why seemingly everybody has Abed-level knowledge of movies and TV. Likewise, because America won World War 2 in one concentrated act of hyperviolent slaughter, Americans as a whole are more desensitized to that sort of thing. Hence why Butch is unfazed by killing two people, Mr. White and Mr. Pink take a pragmatic approach to killing in their line of work, Esmerelda the cab driver is obsessed with death, etc. You can extrapolate this further when you realize that Tarantino’s movies are technically two universes – he’s gone on record as saying that Kill Bill and From Dusk ‘Til Dawn take place in a ‘movie movie universe’; that is, they’re movies that characters from the Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, and Death Proof universe would go to see in theaters. (Kill Bill, after all, is basically Fox Force Five, right on down to Mia Wallace playing the title role.) What immediately springs to mind about Kill Bill and From Dusk ‘Til Dawn? That they’re crazy violent, even by Tarantino standards. These are the movies produced in a world where America’s crowning victory was locking a bunch of people in a movie theater and blowing it to bits – and keep in mind, Lee Donowitz, son of one of the people on the suicide mission to kill Hitler, is a very successful movie producer. Basically, it turns every Tarantino movie into alternate reality sci fi. I love it so hard.</em></p> </blockquote> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4uxhkCYzI1qaud93.gif"/></p> </blockquote> <p>well fuck me gently with a chainsaw</p> </blockquote> <p>Good

center, restaurants, a gym and a parking garage, only to be shot down by his wealthy neighbors.</p> <p>Because the local homeowners’ association has refused to let Lucas move forward with the studio, he’s decided to put the land to good use by <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2012/05/09/BAFP1OF38Q.DTL">transforming it into low-income housing</a>, simultaneously doing a good deed and trolling his fellow landowners.</p> <p>“If everyone feels that housing is less impactful on the land, then we are hoping that people who need it the most will benefit,” Lucas snarked.</p> <p>He’s even donating the various studies and surveys he paid for while working on the movie studio project, to help the new housing development get underway more quickly.</p> <p>That might be almost enough to outweigh creating Jar Jar Binks.</p> <p>[<a href="http://www.movies.com/movie-news/george-lucas-grady-ranch/7883">movies</a>.]</p> </blockquote> <p>More of this sort of
