Pulp Fiction Screenwriter Roger Avary's Twittering Lands Him Back in Prison
Roger Avary, screenwriter of the cult classic film "Pulp Fiction", is in the midst of serving a prison term for a fatal DUI. Since late October, @avary has been regularly tweeting about prison life via Twitter. Not unexpectedly, that tweeting has landed him in some hot water.
While tweeting as @avary, he referred to himself as #34. Last week, Mark McMilian of the Los Angeles Times wrote about Avary's twittering and speculated whether he was tweeting from inside prison. This then led authorities to come to the realization that Avary wasn't in prison at all. Instead, he had somehow ended up on a work fulough program, which allowed him to hold a day job and simply bunk with fellow members of the program at night and on weekends.
This not only discounted all of the tales of hard prison life that everyone thought @avary was describing, but it also blew his cover and landed him back in prison. Avary wasn't supposed to be in a work furlough program. He was sentenced to a year in jail.
Once he was caught Avary tweeted:

One now can wonder if he will tell what it is really like in prison, or if we'll have to wait for the screenplay he will inevitably write about the whole experience.
Anyways, here are a few screencaps of his tweets from the past couple of weeks, since of course he has his Twitter feed protected:
