The Coen Brothers are remaking True Grit.

With Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn.

I shit you not.

I'm watching The Deep on BBC1. Not because it's good, or anything... I'm fascinated by its absolute determination to play every cliché and trope it invokes as straight as possible. It's inspiring by its very lack of inspiration.

For example, by playing a well-worn scene dead straight it made me think of this variation that I've never seen done:

One of our heroes has to go to certain death to save the others. Nobody is particularly qualified to do the certain-death thing, so they draw straws to do it.

And the first guy draws...

"Is this... this is the short straw, isn't it? ... Shit."
