(“What has two index fingers and sucks at driving?”)
Roger Avary, who won an Oscar for co-writing Pulp Fiction and also directed Rules of Attraction, was sentenced to a year in jail plus five years probation, for DUI and vehicular manslaughter, for causing a fatal accident in January 2008. There are lots of fors in that sentence.
Avary pleaded guilty in August to gross vehicular manslaughter and drunken driving for the 2008 crash that killed a passenger in Avary’s Mercedes in Ventura County. Authorities say Avary’s car was traveling at more than 100 mph when it crashed into a telephone pole. Avary’s wife was ejected from the vehicle and was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. [Variety]
I’d love to feel sorry for him, but… 100 miles per hour? Don’t you idiots know you’re supposed to be extra cautious when you drive hammered? Christ, it’s like none of these GD hippies teach their kids how to drunk drive anymore.

So what’s his punishment for directing Rules of Attraction?
What made this vehicular manslaughter ‘gross’? Did he poop his pants when he crashed?
At least his brother Steve had a good career.
Mark It = my new crush
BETCHA HE WASN’T EVEN NICE TO THE POLICE OFFICERS AT THE SCENE EITHER, PUSSY!
Oh I thought you meant Sean Avery. Nevermind then.
Al, he’s talking about the pitcher for the Braves in the 90s.
Also known as the “Newfie divorce”. Belt up or hug the steering wheel as you scream bye-bye.
Catholics are peculiar.
All that work and his wife had no life threatening injuries.
When reached for comment, John Graziano had this to say:
“…”
Hockey on the brain, Habs/Leafs and Nucks/Flamers tonight.
Pool deadline. Donk – call it for me.
Jesus, what a depressing news day. Somebody needs to film their pets doing something cute and post it on YouTube.
I already sent it to you, Al, but here goes again in a public forum.
1. Red Wings
2. Red Wings
3. Red Wings
4. Red Wings
5. Whoever comes out of the West
6. Penguins
7. Gary Bettman ends the charade and just takes the cup for himself.
It doesn’t help that when he drives drunk, he holds his hands exactly like in that pic
Oops, thanks Jessco. A year and five and he’s still looking at community property. That’s a bad miss.
If a co-writer of Pulp Fiction is going to kill somebody in his car, it really should involve a conversation about french cheeseburgers and the accidental discharge of a firearm.
He got gross vehicular manslaughter because he called 911 to the scene instead of Harvey Keitel.
Don’t drink and wear ironic t-shirts
Caps > world. (I’m tired of losing money to Detroit ala my ongoing love affairs with the horrid St. Louis Blues).
Thanks for picking up the slack back there, Donk. It’s difficult to type gratuitous comments while I’m on the phone with pissed off clients. Pretty sure I accidentally treated one of them to a butt sex joke now that I think about it.
He still gets an A for effort if the passenger was his mistress and she was about to tell his wife.
After further research, his pal was named Andreas, which is way better than just one Andrea.
No problem, MiZ. Thanks for reminding me of a Braves team that could make the playoffs.
Don’t wanna talk about it.
I wish the pole he had crashed into was Roman Polanski.
Holy, Joseph Smith (I like to pretend I am Mormon and that is like saying Jesus Christ)! Just realized you beat me to the wife killing joke, Shop. I am a little slow on the draw.
Looks like that Nic Cage Forehead Maintenance home course is really taking off.
Patty, if you need a good story, I recommend heading over to Warming Glow and its dog story. So awesome.
Avary’s wife was ejected from the vehicle
I hope he was drinking martinis because I bet he felt like James Bond when that happened.
I hope this is new material for a movie he can write when he is released from prison about getting hammered, telling your buddy he’s a pussy for wearing a seatbelt, and then dragging your wife outside the vehicle after her head hit the front windshield not getting ejected and left for dead on the side of the road. Just a thought…
On second thought, we will leave the part about his wife getting ejected because erections are fun to watch.
