''Reservoir Dogs'' may have made Quentin Tarantino the indie whiz kid, but Pulp Fiction catapulted him to enfant terrible status, and rightfully so: Eight years after its surf-guitar opening, ''Pulp'' -- like its namesake, guilty-pleasure inspiration -- is still hard to put down. Fittingly for a movie that drew from so much movie-nerd knowledge, the new DVD edition packs in plenty of pop-culture study aids, including footage from the 1994 Cannes film festival, an all-Tarantino edition of ''Siskel & Ebert,'' and just about every ''Pulp'' piece ever written. The only thing missing is Tarantino himself; though he appears on a new making-of documentary, the famously motormouthed helmer doesn't provide a sorely needed commentary track.
