QT5 Begins -- The Fifth Annual Quentin Tarantino Film Festival Begins Tonight!!!

Hey folks, Harry here... People sometimes ask me why I cover these festivals of Quentin's. The reason is quite simple. They are fun and pure.
These films are not in search of a distributor, there is no studio positioning them, no hopes or dreams to crush or lift, no politics to play... These QT fests are pure of purpose.... WATCH FILMS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE... Or if you have seen them, watch them on a big screen with the perfect audience in the perfect laid back atmosphere where the average film fan is a full on equal to Quentin Tarantino. Here is not the place to talk about Quentin's films, his upcoming scripts... here he is just a fan presenting films from his collection in the hopes of hearing a reaction... Positive or negative... to get into discussions, to debate the films, wallow in them and enjoy them.
Quentin does quite a bit of research on each of these titles and spurts forth with knowledge and enthusiasm about each to the point where when the room goes dark... You are excited, primed and ready for that which follows.
Tonight's kickoff theme is Spaghetti Westerns... and what only I know is that the theme continues to specifically Lee van Cleef Spaghetti Westerns!!! Ahhhh, here I go...
