New Tarantino film homage to himself

A 7-hour tribute to his own gangster films of the 90s.

Lovers of good old Quentin Tarantino will rejoice in the screenwriter / director's upcoming film, as it will be an homage to his own ganster movies of the 90s, such as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.

"I want to make small movies, again."

On his official website, the 51 year old auteur confirmed what up to yesterday was only rumours, about the film being such a tribute, adding: "The last two period epics (note: Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained) have exhausted me. I want to make small movies, again, like Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs."

Tarantino has already received comments accusing him of self reference, but he does not yield. "It is not self reference; it will simply be an homage to my younger self. It is not the same thing."

The film maker refused to go into more details about his new piece of work, other than the fact that the new film will have 3 parts and will span over 7 hours of action-packed screentime.

Vatican condemns "Lorem ipsum"

Pope suggests replacement with "Ave Maria."

Rome - After celebrating yesterday's Mass, Pope Francis focused some fiery remarks on "Lorem ipsum," a passage commonly used in publishing and web design, advising Catholics of the forementioned industries to refrain from using it, as "it is inappropriate and most possibly heretical."

Those present were not surprised by the Pope's fury, as he had already posted on Twitter, three days ago: "This passage is an insult to the language of the Catholic Church. Even 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' is a better option than this latinesque abomination."

"Why use gibberish Latin when one has such a vast linguistic heritage?"

The pontiff said he was, at first, puzzled when he discovered the passage in an html template of Adobe Dreamweaver. He immediately froze the process of updating the Vatican website and ordered the assembly of a linguistics comittee. After a thourough investigation, the commitee concluded that "Lorem ipsum" is not, in fact, real Latin.

"Why use gibberish Latin when one has such a vast linguistic heritage?" the Pope asked, but no member of the congregation dared to reply. Then, he went on with some suggestions: "'Ave Maria' is an excellent passage for CSS and HTML 5. In regard to print, simple and classic sentences suffice, like 'Regina rosas amat' or 'Dum spiro spero.'"

Pope Francis concluded his sermon by informing the congregation that the Catholic Church is currently raising funds, in order to change the "Lorem ipsum" passage from every digital or printed document, worldwide.
