Quentin Tarantino Explains the Tarantino Universe
The Hateful Eight director Quentin Tarantino has been talking about how all his movies exist in a connected Tarantino-verse, or rather, Tarantino-verses.
"There are actually two separate universes," Tarantino explained recently during an interview on the Australian talk show The Project. "There’s the realer than real universe, and all the characters inhabit that one. Then there’s this 'movie' universe, so From Dusk Till Dawn and Kill Bill take place in this special movie universe. Basically, when the characters from Reservoir Dogs or Pulp Fiction go to the movies, Kill Bill and From Dusk Till Dawn is what they go see."

Guardians Vol. 2 May Include a ‘Huge’ Marvel Character
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 may introduce one literally enormous character to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Be warned: Potential spoilers follow for the film...
Our friends at Geek.com are reporting that Ego, the Living Planet could show up in the James Gunn-directed film. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, Ego is precisely what it sounds like — a sentient planet complete with a face and beard.
The cosmic entity has crossed paths with numerous Marvel heroes in the comics, including Thor, the Fantastic Four, and Nova. Being one of the comic book universe's more absurd-looking individuals, Ego seems like a perfect fit for the motley characters of Guardians of the Galaxy.
The 100 Season 3 Preview: Where do Octavia & Lincoln Belong?
With The 100 back tomorrow night, IGN has an exclusive clip, giving you an early look at what's to come in Season 3.
The end of Season 2 found Octavia (Marie Avgeropoulos) having to deal with some huge emotional upheaval, as she went from the joy of being fully accepted by Indra (Adina Porter) and being told she was a Grounder, to being cast out, after she refused to follow orders and abandon their plan and leave her brother, Bellamy (Bob Morley), behind.
Season 3 finds Octavia and Lincoln (Ricky Whittle) once more living amongst those from the Ark, in the settlement now called Arkadia. But as this clip shows, the girl who was forced to live in hiding underneath the floor for most of her life is not feeling comfortable at all, even as Lincoln, despite being a Grounder himself, is becoming more accepted.
