Quentin Tarantino, a master of pastiche himself, said he enjoyed seeing an homage to his own work in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” which is just one example of Tarantino and Marvel riffing on each other.

BBC Radio 1’s Ali Plumb asked Tarantino in a recent interview what he thought about the shoutout to his 1994 film “Pulp Fiction” in the 2014 Marvel Cinematic Universe installment.

Nick Fury’s gravestone features the opening line of Ezekiel 25:17 — “The path of the righteous man …” The bible verse, in its Tarantino-modified form, is delivered by Jules in “Pulp Fiction” as part of his pre-killing ritual in one of the movie’s most memorable scenes.

Jules and Nick Fury are both played by Samuel L. Jackson.

“Probably the first commentary I ever read was the Stan Lee ‘Soapbox’,” Tarantino said, referring to a column penned by the Marvel editor-in-chief that appeared in each comic...

“It’s bad for your health thinking about revenge and killing all the time.”

Japanese director Hiroyuki Nakano had directed several music videos for artists like Tomoyasu Hotei (who also plays the part of the villain in “Samurai Fiction”), Dee-Lite and Bjork but had always wanted to make a feature film. During the shooting of a music video for drum and bass artist Photok, Nakano was reminded of the great samurai Musashi Miyamoto, who has developed his famous two sword-technique observing drummers during a village celebration. With the additional inspiration from the works of Shugoro Yamamoto, whose work had also inspired the film by Akira Kurosawa, Nakano slowly developed the idea for a modern samurai film, which would blend the ideas the samurai and the times they lived in stood for but which would also use a modern sensibility, music, editing and use of camera.

Characters losing limbs in Star Wars movies is such a recurring motif that Kevin Feige paid tribute to it by having a character lose an arm in every single movie in Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Editor Pablo Fernández Eyre decided to put together an energetic supercut of all of the Star Wars characters that get their arms, legs, or heads sliced or blasted off during the six live-action movies that exist so far.

The remix of Tomoyasu Hotei's "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" does a great job of keeping the mood light even though we're seeing horrible things happen to these people. Check it out:

NEW YORK -- Music major EMI Group Plc. might not have sealed the big buyout deal, but it unveiled a smaller deal Thursday to streamline its operations in Japan by taking full control of a Joint Venture with Toshiba Corp.

Japan's is the world's second-largest music market.

The news of the transaction comes at the end of a year that saw a continued trend of media and entertainment companies clarifying their asset portfolios and either buying full control of or selling their stakes in jointly held businesses.

The company said it entered an unconditional agreement with Toshiba to buy out that firm's 45% stake in their Toshiba-EMI Ltd. venture for ¥21 billion ($178.2 million).

The transaction is expected to be completed by second-quarter 2007. Toshiba can exercise an early completion option, EMI said.

Toshiba-EMI's artist roster includes such local stars as Glay, Kyosuke Himuro, Tomoyasu Hotei, Yumi Matsutoya, Sheena Ringo, Utada Hikaru and Eikichi Yazawa.

For the year ending March 31, the company reported revenue of ¥46.6 billion ($396.5 million).
