In the movie "pulp Fiction" what is in the briefcase that is glowing green? My other question: In the movie "13", what the heck happened to that woman's ears? Why is she all beat up?

I think its his soul too. There's a scene in the movie where you can see the back of Marsellus Wallace's neck with a bandaid on it. It is purported that this is how/where the devil removes your soul. You'll notice in the scene where they go and get the soul, Jules experiences a "divine intervention." The theory is that they experienced this divine intervention because Jules & Vincent were acting as "soldiers of God" by retrieving Mr. Wallace's soul. Look it up on Yahoo or Google. There's lot of fansites for Pulp Fiction and all the purported hidden meanings to the many things that happen in the movie.

Could have been the "Holy Grail"...remember the briefcase when Vincent opens it he clicks the number to 666....definitely something worth killing/dying over.

There are theories, then there is the truth which is: It's the Shecky mug prototype in all it's glory! Ha, sorry, I just had to. Good question TikiMick. (I bet we'll have a few Photoshop followup posts about MY answer though!)

Now if anyone has seen "13"...I am still trying to figure out what happened to "evie's" legal guardians' ears..it looks like they were cut off and then sown back on..very strange indeed!!

I understood it to be cheap back alley plastic surgery that was botched. I think they say as much in the film kind of quickly and quietly. Meant, no doubt, as a commentary about how fast these girls grow up and what kind of message their parents/guardians/role models send, when their so desperate for beauty that they'll take these risks.

Mahalo, Al He was reading "Modesty Blaise by Peter O'Donnell. Quentin Tarantino chose this book in keeping with title Pulp Fiction because this book is exactly that - pulp fiction -- a magazine or book containing lurid subject matter characteristically printed on rough, unfinished paper. The book was written in 1965.

I heard a rumor some time ago that Tarintino was planning to remake the 1966 film version of "Modesty Blaise". This film has arguably one the best opening 10 minutes in cinema. After that, Brother, I wanted to shoot myself!
