Quentin Tarantino has directed many crazy birds in his filmic career, but he’s finally met some who won’t play ball.
The Pulp Fiction director is suing American Beauty screenwriter Alan Ball, also his Hollywood next door neighbour, in an effort to get him to shut his tropical macaws up. Apparently Ball (also the creator of True Blood) has a bunch of the particularly vocal birds, which he keeps in an outside aviary, something Tarantino has complained is totally killing his vibe and rendering him incapable of finishing his work. It’s better phrased in the actual lawsuit in which Tarantino says that Ball’s angry birds frequently give off “blood-curdling … pterodactyl-like screams” right outside his window. We imagine this is probably comparable to having one’s ear cut off by Mr Blonde:
Tarantino is said to be working (or trying to work) on a new spaghetti Western, which may be abandoned in favour of new project Kill Ball or Reservoir Birds.
