If you wrote one of the best-loved movies of the ’90s, good on you. If you followed that up by writing “Silent Hill,” “Beowulf,” and “Return To Castle Wolfenstein,” then you deserve to be in prison. If you actually kill someone with a car while you’re drunk and manage to get just a year’s worth of jail time, and manage to twitter ironically about the whole experience, you deserve the seventh circle.
Roger Avary wrote some of your favorite scenes in movies where people hold guns and talk quickly. I can guarantee it. The co-writer of the radio dialogue for Resevoir Dogs, the uncredited script doctor for True Romance, and the story for Pulp Fiction, the dude ruled the early nineties with Quentin Tarantino. Then Tarantino went full retard, leaving Avary behind. Years passed, and Avary survived, but unfortunately an Italian man named Andreas Zini did not when Avary decided to drink and drive. Avary was sentenced for a year (?!) in prison, but was on a work furlough program where he only had to spend the night in jail, but had the day free. So what did he do? He started a twitter account.
And he posted what appear to be fake stories from a prison. Such as …
A ball of heroin tar is found on an inmate. The guards react lightening-fast, locking down the facility and “rolling up” those responsible.
#34’s new roomie, EZ, takes Yeyo’s old bunk, locker, and number. He regales awesome tales about his former life as an Oxnard gangbanger.
The tweets landed him in an actual prison, which he bitched about going to. And that’s why you should never work in Hollywood, kids. Because the people there will kill other people, then bitch about the prison food.

Have you stopped to consider the level of snark coming out of you in this post? Do you think you're better than Avary cause it was him that got in a car accident after his "there but for the grace of God" mistake of having two drinks with dinner, and then driving on an empty country road a mile to his house? I GUARANTEE you've done the same, you sanctimonious bastard. Or worse. Blogger.

he then got a year in jail. Sorry for the double post. I hit add comment by accident while jumping down to see if this b**lsh*t article could be reported to this rag's editor. Would you plead guilty to avoid bankrupting your family? Because Roger manned up and did just that. He was a fraction over the legal limit which is incidental since he popped a tire and that was the cause of the accident. Was he speeding? Yes. If he had been going slower would the results have been any different? No. So shut the f**k up.

Thanks to Avary's writing partner, Scientologist and idiot Neil Gaiman who couldn't resist exposing Avary on his blog, there will be no more tweets. Now Avary is doing real time not sissy time. Avary's tweets read like a disgusting yuppie who doesn't seem to understand that a man is dead because of him. And ditto on Gaiman, what a pair of jerks.

Avary wrote the anal rape scene in "Pulp Fiction". He and Tarantino had a falling out because Avary felt he deserved more credit than he ended up getting. I doubt that he'll go around telling the other inmates he's the author of that scene, though. If he does, The Gimp will tears his fuckey ass wide open.

He wrote quite a few scenes in Pulp Fiction, asshat. @AI Take your meds. Whatever your boner is for Neil Gaiman it's misplaced and you have no relationship to him so drop to agenda and go back to hiding in your mom's basement under your tinfoil hat. He's a millionaire writer and you're a complete nobody and that's the way the world is.
