Take a look at this report from the IMDB:
Hardly a week goes buy without some semi-literate celebrity being pulled over because they're driving their over-priced cars after a night of power-chugging and pill-popping at their favourite nightspots.
Now a successful writer/director* (Avary) has killed someone.
He should have known better.
He should have been able to afford a driver for the night.
But he didn't shell out the $85 for a limo & driver for a night, and he was obviously too drunk on his own arrogance to call a cab, because he went behind the wheel and killed someone.
I think it's the inevitable product of Hollywood's isolation from the lives of ordinary people. They start to think that they are something more than just lucky enough to make a good living from their looks and/or talent, and that they are special.
They don't think that the rules apply to them anymore, that they can party all night, drink, do drugs, and act like a public dingus and that the public will still take their crap and call it ice cream.
But it ain't happening. Celebs known for their bad behaviour usually can't sell a movie, and only sell tabloids because it feeds off of a segment of the population's schadenfreude at seeing the rich and beautiful fall.
And now someone is dead.
And Hollywood still doesn't think it has a problem.
'Pulp Fiction' Writer Charged Over Fatal CrashWhy are people in the movie/TV driving drunk. I'm surprised that the streets of LA aren't running with blood because of the liquor-sodden cast of TV's Lost alone.Pulp Fiction screenwriter Roger Avary has been arrested in connection with a fatal car crash in Los Angeles. Avary, 42, was charged with vehicular manslaughter and driving under the influence after a passenger in his car died on Sunday. Captain Monica McGrath of the Ventura County Sheriff's Department said Avary was released on $50,000 bail. Avary's passenger Andreas Zedini, 34, died of his injuries at a local hospital. His wife, Gretchen, 40, was also taken to the hospital with serious injuries after being ejected from the car. Her condition is unknown.

*I thought Killing Zoe broke the first rule of any heist movie: "The robbers must have at least a slim chance of successfully pulling off the heist" which the dim-bulbs of that movie were too stupid to have.
