Wed, Nov 4 2009 5:36 AM

Until recently, Roger Avary was a respected if controversial writer/director, best known for "Rules Of Attraction" (easily the best of the Bret Easton Ellis adaptations) and for breaking up with video store-days friend Quentin Tarantino over accusations he was shafted on credit for the "Pulp Fiction" screenplay (he only got a story credit...

To watch -- "Tarantino's Mind," a short from Brazilian directing duo 300ml in which a man (Selton Mello) explains his unified field theory of Quentin Tarantino to a skeptical friend (Seu Jorge, of "The Life Aquatic" and "City of God").
