One for the comic lovers

According to this article on BoxOffice.com, Josh Brolin ("Bran" from The Goonies) and John Malkovich ("John Malkovich" and "John Malkovich" from Being John Malkovich) will star in a Warner Bros. film adaptaion of the DC Comics character Jonah Hex.

According to Wikipedia, Jonah Hex (right) is a horrifically disfigured Confederate soldier who's mother ran off with a travelling salesman and father sold him into slavery to the Apaches in exchange for a pile of pelts.

According to Webster's Dictionary, "pelts" are animal skins with fur still on them.

According to the fact that - a mere three paragraphs into this post - we no longer care about Jonas Hex, his bout of parental bad luck, or proper fur trading vocabulary, we advise those in the pro-Confederate, comic book adaptation demographic not to set their expectations for this film too high.

FYI.

Agreed.

And why would hottie Brolin agree to something so dumb after being awesome in "No Country"?

Warners pays really well for comics movies. $$$ is always convincing. Though, maybe he's fan of the comic. It's possible.
