[Command Prompt]

As Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick have taught us, American Movie producers are basically venture capitalists. They finance the movie and hire actors and directors and try to capitalize as much as possible on ticket sales. This is often at the expense of atistic quality and integrety. (See Jerry Bruckhiemer films) Even if you save up the money and direct a movie yourself and have your buddies act in it, whos gonna release your movie in theatres? You have too suck up to producers at one point cause they have the moola. Movie threatres pay money to carry a film. Why do you think popcorn and soda costs 10 bucks? This lead to the rise of the independant film genre, in which the directors truley call the shots and are responsible for the complete direction of the movie, and the producers stay behind the scenes as little as possible. The funny thing is, quentin got his start as an independant director, and his name became so bankable he appears to be selling out now, by producing movies.

However in his defense, all he's doing is giving others the same shot he got. Its unfortunate that some of the newer movies he's helped produce are not that great, but what can you do. Tarrantino is a huge movie buff and he's done alot for north american cinema. Aside from that, would most people ever of watched "Hero" or "Detroit 9000" if he didn't re-release them into mainstream video or cinema? He's just giving the general public a larger palette for movies.
