I don't get why people get so hung up about this. If you break it down all it accounts to his mug and name on a paper cover and some two bit extras. Big deal!

If QT's name on the cover gets more rare and unheard of films released in America I'm all for it. So what if his name is on the cover. AFAIK all the DVDs he has released have been respectful/decent quality.
I'm with Brad there. It's thanks to Tarantino why so many old cult classics are getting remastered. Films like Kill Bill, Grind House and Jackie Brown have made mainstream audinces interested in these films. And still, with both Tarantino's promo work and mugshots small cult film releasing companies are going bust. Not enough people showing interest for these films. If Tarantino didn't exist we wouldn't have to suffer from his mugshots on every other dvd... because those dvds woudn't exist...

I wouldn't mind reversible covers, though.

I seriously doubt QT is to blame for that. These cult films have an even more niche market than Martial Arts films.
i like free stuff
Me too but in this case I don't need another DVD I'll never find the time to watch. That and by giving my details they may send me annoying mail shots. Whatever the reason they're not giving them away out of the kindness of their hearts.

Thanks though.

Oops sorry but is QT on the cover of any small companies? I thought his QT Presents work was all for Harvey.

Maybe not his face, but "the film that inspired (insert Tarantino film here)" is something you see printed often...

I like it, but I'm not a fan of war films so that puts me off a little.

It stars "Her", so I sold it, she is a pathetic actress, never seen a good film with her in it yet and wont bother trying to either now.

How many films have you seen with Audrey Tatou in? Serious question. I thought Tatou was excellent in Amelie and "A very long engagement".

Audrey Tatou reminds me of Audrey Hepburn, like Hepburn Tatou has oodles of charisma and charm.

But in most cases charisma and charm doesn't equate to talent (eg Ikea Knightley). Luckily she can act too, see "Dirty Pretty Things" but not "The DaVinci Code".

Stop agreeing with me already, Brad. This is starting to feel weird :D

Tatou is one of the few modern non-asian actresses I don't dislike. She's got dignity and charm, similiar to some old school hollywood stars like Grace Kelly whom I also like.

Well stop agreeing with me ;) . I completely agree with your second sentence too :D

True.

I hear Tatou (and Hanks) had no chance to act in The Da Vinci code when it's simply such a turkey. I hear the book is also a turkey but because it's fleshed out (i.e - it's a book) people loved it, but it's far from well written.

I thought Da Vinci Code was an OK book TBH. The film is worse.

When you see the film or read the book come back.
