Tarantino Sues Alan Ball for Macaw Tweets?





From  Slashfilms

There's irony afoot.  

As I sit here writing, Kill Bill plays in the background and I'm reviewing Case No. BC 457043 -- a lawsuit Quentin Tarantino has filed against True Blood creator, Alan Ball.

Why? Because he claims that the "blood curdling" and "pterodactyl-like" screams of Ball's macaws are preventing him from writing or finding peace in his own home.

The LA courts make you sign up and put a credit card number in to see the lawsuit, so instead, go here to see the 6-page lawsuit. It's pretty weird. The first paragraph is practically Tarantino's resume and has a quote from poet who died in the 1800s (Goethe).


The Australian has a funny take here, including the relevant comment (since I'm watching Uma Thurman/The Bride kick ass right now): "Uma Thurman's The Bride from Kill Bill might make macaw sushi out of Ball's birds with her trusty blades."


Sounds like a bullshit excuse to me, seeing as many of the news articles online suggest that Tarantino is working on a western and I bet he's behind schedule on it.  I've heard a lot of student excuses, but this takes the cake. 

He's rich, probably has a huge house, but he's blaming writer's block on some birdies? Poor, Quentin.  Maybe you should tweet about it.
