It's all gone to shit

Bemused

Apparently, and I say apparently because I didn't know of this until just now, a big-screen film adaptation of The Lone Ranger is in the planning. This doesn't bemuse me as such, not even that they've got Johnny Depp to play Tonto when there are a raft of perfectly capable Indian native American actors who could play the part.

No, what bemuses me is the fact that the damned thing was slated to cost $250M!

How on earth can a film about the masked avenger and his trusty sidekick cost two hundred and fifty million drinking tokens?

Jerry Bruckheimer had been lined up to produce the film; oh, not so bemused now! (SMH)
