that moment you realize tarantino only co-wrote pulp fiction 

Here’s the link to the second part of the video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-X86wpEcBtKo.html Like what happened with my Rocky video recently, for some reason when I tried to upload the full thing, it gets automatically copyright claimed. But when I broke it into two parts, it was fine. It’s very strange. And again, I wouldn’t care, except that with the claim on it I’m unable to turn off mid-roll ads. And I really prefer not to have ad breaks in the middle of my videos, because I work really hard to make them the way they are, and for them to be enjoyed in a certain way. At least by breaking it up myself, I get to choose where that break happens, which is why I’ve chosen to do it this way again. But, really, I am sorry about all this, and I hope you’re able to enjoy the full video despite the split :) -Danny

Just searched up who Roger Avary was and was completely blindsided by the 'manslaughter charge' part in his Wikipedia page

The other massive factor in the success of Tarantino’s films is the contribution of his long time Editor Sally Menke. Editing is a re-writing of the film based on whatever was shot and recorded and the editor curates the pacing and audience experience down to the frame. You can see the huge influence she had by looking at his films up until the time of her death in 2010 and then after. I remember watching the Hateful 8 and thinking WTF is this? It was sluggish and self-indulgent. RIP Sally Menke

You can actually track the arc of Tarantino's ego as a filmmaker & the credit for Pulp fiction when you watch he's interviews on a year by year chronology, first makes passing mentions of him... Then Jackie Brown onwards Avery's never mentioned, all the way to the press tour for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (now back together with him and doing a podcast together) he makes passing mentions of him again

Nice seeing Avary getting some attention. He was a solid writer-director in his own right. Rules of Attraction is an underrated film that really captures the zeitgeist of US college culture in the early 2000’s.

God I love the way you narrate. Taking audio from the movie and making it sound like a conversation is so unique! It's like you and the person are bouncing off each other

People used to talk about “the mega script” that they both used to work on that supposedly got turned into reservoir dogs, true romance, natural born killers, pulp fiction, and supposedly even some parts of it inspired killing Zoe and from dusk til dawn. I never hear about it any more but it used to get mentioned in interviews a lot more. I guess here it’s the throw away line about “putting everything on the table that hadn’t been used” but it used to be suggested that they both collectively added to it tremendously like all the time and added to it over years rather than days or weeks and have gone back to the well of that document on many many occasions to mine the signature style of their early work together. They are both architects of that style. I feel more people should look into Avery’s other work. He’s not the work horse that QT is or the lightning rod, but he has just as much vision and taste.

I love the editing of this. very stylish and perfectly paced. it gives me such Radiolab energy, but beautifully done for the screen. barely even into the video right now, but i just needed to come down here and say bravo on the edit.

People don't really talk about how much Jim Jarmusch's Night On Earth and Mystery Train influenced Pulp Fiction, Resevoir Dogs and True Romance. For a start, Mystery Train has the multi-story plot, a radio DJ narrator (in fact, Tarantino considered casting Tom Waits as the DJ in Reservoir Dogs before casting Steven Wright), a cameo by the ghost of Elvis Presley, and a cowardly Steve Buscemi character. While Night On Earth features a mysterious briefcase and a sinister character with a band-aid on the back of his head. I wonder how Jarmush feels about it all.

I love the kinetic energy in your editing and narration. What a great video essay fr

The editing in this is so good. Back and forth between the voice over of the directors and yours. Brilliant!

never been that much into movies in the sense of analysing colours, scenography, planes etc, but this channel really is something else even for me. Good work, keep it up

This is great! I’d also love to see an in depth breakdown of Sally Menke’s contribution to Tarantino’s films. She was certainly a one of kind visionary editor.

What an amazing video. Great insights combined with great editing. Thank you so much, CinemaStix. :)

damn.. thank you for bringing awareness to this, had zero clue.. never clicked on a video faster

1:12 "we don't really hear much from today" Roger Avary & Quentin Tarantino literally have a podcast together right now since last year - The Video Archives Podcast The first episode premiered on July 19, 2022 and Roger Avary worked on other movies since pulp fiction like: Mr. Stitch (1995) - Director, writer and Executive Producer The Rules of Attraction (2002) - Director, writer and Executive Producer Glitterati (2004) - Director, Writer & Producer Silent Hill (2006) - writer Beowulf (2007) - writer & Executive Producer XIII: The Series - Writer & Executive Producer Lucky Day (2019) - Director & writer and on On January 13, 2008 - September 29, 2009, he was in legal issues for dui and manslaughter. in my personal opinion i think he slowed down bcuz he had nothing to prove i don't think it had anything to do with Quentin Tarantino although over the years Tarantino does come across someone that's hard to work with bcuz of his ego.

Great editing in this essay, your incorporation of footage with your narration felt very smooth and fluid. You rock

thank you so much for bringing this information to light! I've always adored Pulp Fiction and the whole gold watch part is one of my favorites. Avery had some interesting ideas, I wish he could have pursued more.

Roger Avery also wrote the Silent Hill movie, which is arguably one of the better game adaptations.

Wow, very nice research. Looking forward to pt. 2

Been watching your channel for about six months now and it’s so cool seeing some of these videos explode man. You have a gift for storytelling and finding super interesting topics about movies I love. One small critique I have on some of the editing of these videos would be how you cut the audio sometimes. I didn’t realize at one point that you were having a conversation with someone while also narrating throughout it. Don’t listen to me if you don’t want to though and either way man keep crushing!!

Your way of constructing the dialogue in this video, or all your videos, sounds just like Radiolab's way of doing their podcasts and I love it. Great job and insanely easy to follow and understand. Well done.

Another interesting thing to note is that Tarantino tried to recreate the anothlogy format with the movie "Four Rooms" in 1995. 4 directors would direct 4 sperate parts of a film that would ultimately tie together in the end. The movie turned out to be a massive flop and tarantino did not do another aothology formated film.

Love what you're doing with the titles of your RU-vid videos. Videos are awesome as well, but the lead-in is great stuff

Really glad to have discovered this channel! Lovely style and great subject. Winner!

True film guys knew from the start Avery was a part of Quinten's early success, and had his opportunity to write and direct on his own, but he never struck gold.

It's good to see an essay that doesn't need to be 2 hour to be fricking good, this is the videos we need.

How the hell am I so early. You're an amazing youtube and your videos are all such high quality. Invested in the video and will watch it all the way through Keep up the amazing vids MrCinemaStix

I was completely oblivious to all that, holy sh-…

Wow, what a way to intercut your naration with interviews and movie dialogues. I know it's been done before, but god damn that's a vision and a style! You're a great writer. 1:21 scene had me laughing for some reason Man, i love video essays.

I thought I had a mandala effect with Roger Avary this whole time since Quentin pulled a Stan Lee.

This is amazingly done, im a sucker for the Quentin Tarantino content ty

So, Tarantino pretty much Zuckerberged him?.. (I’m haven’t watched the second part of the video yet, but going to right now)

While I see that Avary should be more known, it isn’t like Quentin is a fraud. He’s a tremendous director.

babe wake up, new cinemastix vid just dropped

This title is clickbait. Roger Avery had a very strong indie career. His first directorial feature was Killing Zoe. It was made a year before Pulp Fiction and was created while producers were looking for locations for Reservoir Dogs. Avery followed it up with Rules of Attraction, an Indie masterpiece that didn't find much commercial appeal. The film grammar of ROA is phenomenal and features an incredible young 2000s cast including James "Dawson" Vanderbeek and Jessica Biel. Unfortunately, Avery was in a car crash while intoxicated which derailed his career in the late 2000s. Avery wasn't as good of a director as Tarantino but made his own mark after Pulp Fiction.

Roger Avery acclaimed screenwriter known for his work on Pulp Fiction and giving Konosuba 5 stars on Letterboxd

I thought I knew everything about Tarantino, I knew Avery helped on pulp fiction but didn’t know what he wrote and how much he did on other scripts. This was really informative.

This video editing style reminds of Radio Lab podcast. Glad I found this channel.

Haaaa this is sick. Thank you. Needed this.

This video was fantastic. I'd love to be able to make something like it.

That is an interesting thing to bring up because that is quite true. People give Quentin Tarantino so much praise for your screenplays and forget that he has people who helps him sometimes

I love the cuts with the voices. I understand why people might not like it, and the only thing I can think of that would help is leveling the audio to where it sounds kind of like a conversation in a podcast where the voices have equal weight rather than sharp differences sometimes. Otherwise I love the *style*. It tickles the brain, especially whenever snipped and pasted with clips that are relevant and ALSO contribute to the video script. Its clever and cool if done consistently write. It being apart of the script is cool.

I love how this is edited and narrated, reminds me of a podcast called radiolab a lot.

Never thought of mystery train being an influence on pulp fiction, love that movie and it makes sense hearing that. They combined so much cool stuff making pulp fiction french new wave, film noir, gangster movies

I'm so glad Mystery Train got some light. Jim's dialogue is unmatched.

I thought I knew about Roger Avery - but you really taught me about Roger Avery! I always recommend True Romance to friends but I had no idea about the Roger connection to Pulp. Xlnt stuff, mate!

Great video man.

Tarantino also jacked the (in)famous monolog about how Maverick/IceMan in Top Gun are actually gay (Seen in the film "Sleep With Me" which for many was an introduction to Tarantino) FROM Avary. Evidently that was a bit Avary was notorious for using to great success at parties, only finding out that Quentin had jacked it word-for-word (And not crediting Avary) when he saw the film. They cohost a podcast now so I'd assume they're back on good terms, but only after not speaking for quite some time

They are still very close friends. I don't think it's fair to assume that Quentin stopped working with him because of he developed a huge ego. Quentin is allowed to work alone if he wants and Avery could go make his own movie if he wanted. They both started a podcast together recently so It's not like there's bad blood

I like the title you used, its similar to those movie summaries with the AI voiceovers.. its very cliche and a nice touch on this essay.

Dude this is like listening to Radio Lab on NPR but with Pulp Fiction. Love this! Subbed.

So a Lennon & McCartney kind of writing relationship. Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary. Maybe they will bring back their collaborative synergies to Tarantino's Tenth & Final Movie. I hope so.

Wow. This is like the Pink Floyd breakup where you realize the front man isn't the guy who wrote their best songs.

Thank you so much for this one!

I like ur editing it’s amazingly funny

Awesome video! Do you compose the music underlining your writing or is it from somewhere?

I’ll be the odd one out. I hate the editing of this video. I’m entirely lost on what point is trying to be made. Probably my brain more than the video itself, but the constant jumping between numerous voices and even cutting to and from different people mid-sentence makes this completely incoherent for me.

Ngl the montage is superb my dude keep it up

Beautifully made!

Love the channel just had to say

Your really good at making videos man.

the associative editing in this video goes crazy

That explains why I enjoy this film more than the recent films. I do enjoy Tarantino's films, but I have a real problem with the dialogue. After I saw a few interviews with Tarantino and relaised the unique way in which he spoke. I then realised that his characters spoke exactly like him. So now when I watch a Tarantino film, its just like every one is a puppet and Tarantino is talking through them. They all speak in exactly the same way, there is no diversity in the dialogue, they all have this long winded Tarantino-esque way of speaking.

The "other writer" didn't write anything, he contributed the story of a boxer who doesn't throw the fight and then reconciles with the gangster after being kidnapped by sadists. The story's dialogue was written by Tarantino, as was the main story. The proper credit is "story by" and the main writing credit belongs to Tarantino.

I like how you’re acting like Tarantino in the voice over. Great touch 👏🏻

this editing is genius!

Great video! I honestly prefer Tarantino's earlier work to what he does now (which is often bloated, self-indulgent pastiches that I can't get on with). His early work was raw and exciting and had a realism to it, in spite of the borderline farcical storytelling. I think when he and Roger Avary parted creative ways, Tarantino lost his anchor.

I always wondered why they didn’t go into the honey bunny robbery situation as their third situation. Still love the Jules story though

Mystery Train is such an underrated film. Love the characters in that movie so much.

Steve Polyi wrote the Eric Stoltz part of Pulp Fiction (Not credited) It was loosely based on Steve himself. Steve worked at the Video Archives with Tarantino in Manhattan Beach. He wrote this as a favor. Stevo is Sherriff #4 in Reservior Dogs. They misspelled his name in the credits as Steve Poliy

The Rules of Attraction is an amazing film, highly recommended - it came out in 2002 so he was heard from again...

This vid has been appearing in my recommendations with a different title every day, for the love of god just pick one

Roger Avery is so deeply underrated. I'd do anything to see his version of Charles Burns "Black Hole"

_”Everyone steals. The trick is to steal from the best”_ Alfred Hitchcock

Would've loved to see Roger Avery and Neil Gaiman black hole script

'I really have to take a pee right now....' To me, that will always be reminiscent of Amanda Plummer in the coffee shop scene: 'I gotta pee!'

Nice tip of the hat to Jim Jarmusch's "Mystery Train" 💜

They’re still incredibly close friends, they have a great podcast together called The Video Archives Podcast, and constantly sing each others praises

your video style reminds me of "the movies that made us" on Netflix, keep it up

It's almost like film takes an entire team of people to be created

It'd be better if the narrator wasn't constantly interrupting the interview audio

him and roger avery seem to be on good terms now, they do a podcast together currently called video archive

Pulp Fiction definitely changed cinema. It felt like the beginning of the world opening up with gloom going away & prosperity coming including a renaissance in cities & movies.

Sir you're editing and narration are a delight to view. Bravo.

I remember coming out of the cinema and my friend telling me "the gold watch" was the best one out of the three BY FAR. I personally liked the whole thing, but that one does have something to it... it's more clever. it elevates the whole film.

Tarantino and Roger Avary have a great podcast together today called “The Video Archives”

I don't think this takes away all of Quentin's work away. One major job of directors is to find the right people to bring your story to life. And _Once Upon a TIme in Hollywood_ looks really nice, and I'm excited to watch it at some point.

My dad adores Quentin Tarintino but I never really liked some parts of his writing, now I know why.

Your Tarantino impression is on point good sir

I have wondered why the last few QT movies didn't cut it for me. Now I know

Why do you suddenly sound like Patrick Willems pitched up a note?

Quentin and Roger Avary have been hosting their own podcast about movies they sold working at the same video store. The podcast is named after the store: Video Archives

First time I've heard either mention Mystery Train as an influence, which was obvious, so maddening it was often unsaid. What is the source of that Avary interview?

FASCINATING. Thank you. I find the concept of QT's "influences" endlessly interesting as it can dance from "inspired by", to "copying is the sincerest form of flattery", to "umm..you should give credit where credit is due dude.". Also i had no idea he played a role in True Romance script!?

I'll never forget the first time watching Pulp Fiction in the movie theater... as memorable as the first time watching Star Wars or Jaws

I knew Roger Avery and Gretchen in Ojai. They were some of the nicest people you’d ever want to meet I truly miss them. They are an asset to any community they live in.

I know this comment is late to the party but, I'm surprised that when you mentioned Reservoir Dogs that you didn't mention Killing Zoe. Roger Avary was contributing materials to Reservoir Dogs and he absolutely owned the writing for KBILLY Radio. That when they were scouting locations for Reservoir Dogs they found a location for a Bank. When they found that they could secure a location it was asked if anyone has a screenplay for a movie that could use the set. Roger Avary then wrote Killing Zoe (with Eric Stolz specifically in mind) in a week and a half and that's how they ended up with RD being released in October 1992 and KZ in October 1993 (or August /'94). This is how Killing Zoe ended up being at the site of the bank heist, and Reservoir dogs dealing with everything but the heist.

So in Tarantino's "best film" the best parts were actually written by Roger Avary...good to know.

And Quentin Tarantino also has a female copy editor/script editor who basically put all of Tarantino’s messy ideas onto the paper
