 Apple - Pro/Film - “The Rules of Attraction”
Avary, whose work reflects the broad knowledge of cinema history of a life-long student of film (and ex-video store clerk) as well as rare technical understanding of the techniques of film production, worries that the reaction to “Rules,” as well as his Academy Award-winning scripting on “Pulp Fiction,” have skewed his reputation.
Avary successfully made that separation, and enjoyed it, during the making of “Rules.” “I found it extremely pleasurable to watch the project evolve from how it affected me 15 or more years ago to final cut.
Avary hasn’t committed to a next project, but he says it will likely be an extreme change of direction from “Rules.” “No more powerful social criticism.

Avary says even while making the film he knew the outcome was going to be something astonishing.

 LA Weekly - Pulp Friction
As an extension of his war of nerves with the MPAA, Avary took his campaign to the press, and if you read his pugnacious statements, it was hard to resist the suspicion that the director would be profoundly disappointed if he ever made a movie that the MPAA didn't hate.
Avary actually extends the reach of Ellis' satire by injecting deliberate anachronisms into the novelist's impeccably detailed period tapestry: In what appear to be the Reagan '80s, characters have DV cameras, pop Viagra and log on to the Internet.
Avary refuses to let his audience off the hook by implying that these are phenomena unique to the 1980s: "My movies tend to be spatially and temporally non-specific.

Avary and director Quentin Tarantino have each directed one picture since their collaboration on "Pulp Fiction," although they produced, wandered through or script-doctored many others.
Life goes on, and now Avary is releasing his long-dreamed-of adaptation of novelist Bret Easton Ellis' collegiate romp, "The Rules of Attraction." It stars James Van Der Beek as Sean Bateman, a college student walking through two worlds.
