Well QT holds a contradiction of sorts. On the one hand, he likes to keep that mystery regarding various aspects of his work, but on the other hand, he is as “out there” as you can get, appearing in many forms of the media. You have highlighted an obvious hindrance regarding QT’s films as an event. It can create unrealistic expectations which are very unlikely to be met. However, I have been very fortunate in this case as QT has not disappointed me thus far, so I am yet to experience said hindrance.
I myself had never been in the company of “film-fans” until I went to University in 2005. There, it seemed every body I met was a film fan. I thrived in such an atmosphere, it was so great discussing films, having arguments, taking shots at each other etc. etc. Loved it! I miss uni far too much. Back at home, I have learned to get over it. I stick to my magazines, my DVDs and of course the Tarantino Archives! It’s hard to pinpoint my love for cinema, I guess my dad has always encouraged the watching of films. Indeed, the very first film I remember watching was The Good the Bad and The Ugly, my dad is/was a huge (spaghetti) western fan. On occasion he insists I watch a film, and on these occasions I ensure I do as they must be special (such as The Wild Bunch)! I share something very personal with films, and especially QT’s films, I don’t mind if I am unable to share this passion with all my friends.
Anyway, I’m going off on a tangent. I think it suits QT to be “out there” sometimes, but I can’t say I’m a fan of all the “Quentin Tarantino Presents” shenanigans :-</E>

I like the “Quentin Tarantino Presents” stuff, but I think he should attach his name to more quality projects. Besides Hero IMO.
