roger avary. he wrote Pulp Fiction and wrote and directed Rules of Attraction. he also wrote Silent Hill and it will be out soon. his hair is pretty. Roger Avary:

supercult:  Video game films have a tendency to suck a lot. Is Silent Hill going to suck a lot? roger avary:  Silent Hill is going to suck the lifeforce from your marrow and hide it in Midwich Elementary School, where it will be guarded by the Gray Children and Red Pyramid.  Your husk will then wander in the fog for eternity around Bradbury Street. Christophe Gans is obsessed with Silent Hill, and his intention is to at all times remain as true as possible to the spirit of the game and the intentions of Akira Yamaoka, the creator/producer/composer, and the studio is behind him 100 percent. sc:  Are there any other games you'd like to write or direct a movie for? ra:  Metal Gear Solid. The Holy Grail would be Grand Theft Auto. I'd have to direct that one as well. And truth be told, I'd love to be part of a Dig Dug film, but somehow I doubt anyone else will get behind me on that one. sc:  If you were a unicorn, what would be your favorite thing to do: galloping across rainbows, or prancing in crystal clear streams? ra:  What do you mean "if"?  And by the way, unicorns can often be found "getting it on" in crystal clear streams underneath rainbows. We're a highly promiscuous animal.  You must be talking about one of our courting rituals with the prancing. So yes, prancing. sc:  Related question; you're still a unicorn. If you, heaven forbid, should ever have to have a battle with another mystical creature, would you do it on the ground or in the clouds? ra:  First of all, it would be against that bastard the Centaur -- cocky motherfucker that he is.  Since he can't fly, I'd engage him on the ground.  But I'd probably use flight to my advantage, since he has that bow and arrow.  It's only fair. [please note: Roger has since expressed concern about a unicorn's ability to fly. if unicorn flight is someday proven to be a myth, Supercult accepts full responsibility for the misleading question.] sc: Can you make a romantic mix tape for us? ra: Sexy Boy, by Air The Theme from Wonder Woman The Conductor, by the Faint The Kill, by Joy Division Automatic, by the Go-Gos Guy et Genvieve, from Les Paraluies de Cherbourg Pretty Irish Girl, by Sean Connerey (from Darby O'Gill and the Little People) Les Sucettes, by Serge Gainsbourg I Want to Marry a Lighthouse Keeper, by Erika Eigan sc:  You asked me not to ask you any dopey Tarantino questions, but seriously... If you and Quentin Tarantino were locked in a closet alone for 7 minutes would you really kiss or just pretend you did when everyone opened the door and laughed when time was up? ra:  That would be a very uncomfortable 7 minutes.  I'm thinking we'd pretend, but then eye each other knowingly. sc:  Your writing and directing kind of have the same feel to them. At least from the outside. How are those creative processes the same and different? ra:  I only became a writer out of necessity.  It's simply cheaper and easier than having someone else do it for me.  Because of this, my writing tends to be a blueprint of how I see the movie unfolding.  As a director, I tend to give actors total freedom, and allow them to leave the letter of the page -- which they appreciate.  You see, as director I know that you can never predict the emotions of the moment, and that you can only discover them.  Therefore, the writing process is more of an outline to allow freedom of expression to the actor. sc:  Let's say you are a duck or goose for a moment. How do you know how to do that V thing when you fly? That is cool. ra:  I don't do the V thing, everyone else does.  I fly point and if there's other ducks following me, it's up to them to hold formation.  I will lead them to Springtime. sc:  Who do you like most? ra:  My incredibly sexy wife, who is enough woman to last me an eternity. I'm telling you, this woman is incredible.  Not only is she one of the nine Muses, and incredible mother, my intellectual equal, a unicorn, a pagan goddess, but she's also a party girl of the highest order.  We can be alone, the two of us, and it's as fun as the biggest rave I've ever been to.  I love her exclusively, and entirely, and I expect our relationship to span the ages. sc:  Do you like the rain? ra:  I love rain.  I especially love dressing up for the rain. sc:  Would you like to say something else? ra:  Yeah -- I'd like to say that the Supercult girls are kind of smoking hot.  My current favorite is Frenchie.
