Avary was recently approached by several platinum-selling artists who have asked him to write singles for their upcoming albums.

" Pandemonium Reigns " ended up forming the basis of the " Gold Watch " chapter of Pulp Fiction ( an earlier version of his website displayed an excerpt from " Pandemonium Reigns ", illustrating the changes that were made by Tarantino when writing " The Gold Watch "), and other odd scenes Avary had written during his rewrite of True Romance were reworked and incorporated into the Pulp Fiction script, such as the accidental shooting of Marvin, and the scene in which the bullets fired at Jules and Vincent miss their targets.

Avary had initially intended to write a screenplay completely devoted to this experience, for which Tarantino suggested the ironic title Roger Takes a Trip.

Avary finished the record in March 2009 but had to wait for behind-the-scenes industry issues to clear.

When in 1981, Video Out-Takes co-owner Lance Lawson ( a name that comes up repeatedly in Avary and Tarantino's films ) left to open the now famous Video Archives Avary went along, writing the store's database program with fellow 6502 programmer Andy Blinn on an Atari 800 computer.

Among this group, Avary met an odd and brilliant film enthusiast, Quentin Tarantino.

Early in his career, Avary made a number of contributions to some of Quentin Tarantino's movies.

Avary took on the producer's role, and he and Tarantino tried unsuccessfully for several years to get funding so that Tarantino could direct the script himself.

Since Tarantino was busy prepping Reservoir Dogs, Avary was hired with Tarantino's consent by Tony Scott and Hadida to work as a script doctor on the material, a job which included bringing the length down, reforming the narrative to a linear fashion, and writing a more commercial ending where the Clarence character is not killed.

" Avary co-wrote the background radio dialogue in Reservoir Dogs ( 1992 ), and designed the " Dog Eat Dog " logo which appeared in the end credits.

Most notably, Avary contributed material which, combined with Tarantino's, formed the basis of Pulp Fiction ( 1994 ) for which he and Tarantino won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
