A Guide to Lady Gaga’s ‘Mayhem’ References: David Bowie, Prince, Herself, and More

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music The words “influence” and “reference” are closely related, and in any art form, both are often — hopefully usually — an act of love, an acknowledgement, a knowing wink to fans (as long as they don’t verge into copyright infringement, anyway). Whether it’s Quentin Tarantino’s deep references to his favorite martial-arts films, Barbara Kingsolver’s re-invention of Charles Dickens’ “David Copperfield” as “Demon Copperhead,” or Silk Sonic, Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak’s love-letter to the ‘70s, the reference is usually in the spirit of homage.

‘Pulp Fiction’ fans ponder question that’s gone unanswered for “30 years”

Pulp Fiction fans have been pondering whether Bruce Willis‘ character Butch Coolidge really is safe from retribution from Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames).Although Butch and Marsellus appear to to settle their differences after the former intervenes and saves the gangster after he is raped by Zed (Peter Greene), fans on a Reddit thread have been wondering if the death of Vincent Vega (John Travolta) may have forced Wallace to change his mind.Before Butch saves Marsellus, he kills Vega after the latter is sent to assassinate him in his apartment.When they reach a truce in the basement, Marsellus is unaware of Vega’s murder and we never know if he changes his mind and hunts down Butch.Although this mystery remains unsolved, fans have been given their own thoughts with one writing: “If Vincent had done his job, Marsellus wouldn’t have been run over, kidnapped and raped. I think he’ll be fucking cool with Butch for coming back and saving his life.“Likewise, he’ll be alright with telling everyone to stay the fuck away from the only other guy that knows he got raped.
