I'm watching the movie for the first time and there are a bunch of missions that are straight out of this movie. The train heist and the cliff jump are both super obvious. The parallels with Cornwall/Harriman and Tahiti/Bolivia are pretty clear too. I highly recommend it for all you boahs and girls.
I was browsing wikipedia pages of random people who lived in the late 1800s in the US and skirted the edges of the law, and I realized that Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday have far longer wikipedia pages than Billy the Kid, Butch Cassidy, and the Sundance Kid, which I recognize isn't a perfect proxy for how famous people are, but it tends to be somewhat correlated. The order by length of wikipedia article goes
Wyatt Earp ≈ Doc Holliday > Billy the Kid >> Butch Cassidy >> the Sundance Kid,
But I hadn't even heard of them until like yesterday, and I had only barely heard of Billy the Kid either, and I don't really know anything about Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid either, except having definitely heard those names before, so I was wondering if I'm the outlier? Are Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday people most Americans would have heard of?
Do you think most Americans would know who Billy the Kid, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid were?
How was the famous "they die in a hail of Bolivian bullets" end optical done? The stills show the progress of the scene - they run out of their bunker in a color mid shot which zooms in tighter, freezes, then fades to sepia. This pulls back to reveal a giant wide shot.
The dissolve from color to sepia isn't perfect, but A) it very much looks to be the same camera angle and shot and framing and motion, and B) it's an optical so would be a pos struck from an inter neg, and there would definitely be some reregistering of the frame because of that. But they didn't shoot it in the wide then push way in on the neg, because even with a fine-grained stock it would have been terribly grainy?
How was it done?

First time opening up my island for turnip selling and easily the highest price I've seen so far.
Please comment your in-game name and island name. I'll be sorting by new and going from the oldest comment to the most recent. I'll send you a chat with the Dodo Code when it's your turn, and I'll try to get to everyone that comments before calling it a night!
Nook's is immediately to the right of Resident Services. I'll be letting in 3 at a time. If you will need to make multiple trips be sure to let me know when I send you the chat.
EDIT: After nearly 4 hours and 40+ visitors, it's finally time to close up shop. I tried to reply to as many people as I could and I'm sorry if I missed you. I was made aware of an issue where some people's comments just failed to appear so if you replied early and I still missed you, I especially apologize. That being said, every visitor I had tonight was respectful and kind and I thank you all for contributing to this wonderful community!
