Since we've all decided that @TaikaWaititi needs a cowboy movie to complete his vampire and pirate trilogy, I want to introduce you to Walter Scott and Albert Johnson 
Walter Scott was a fake gold prospector. He sold fake investments and defrauded a variety of New Yorkers, while also performing in sold-out theatrical shows about himself, AT WHICH HE WAS ARRESTED FOR FRAUD
One man who bought his mine shares was Albert Johnson, a teetotaler who has miraculously recovered from a train wreck after near paralysis.
He hired a private investigator who reported back that there was no mine.
So of course, he had to go out there and see for himself, demanding that Scott show him the mine.
They packed up mules and had a grand old camping trip.
Never did find the mine, but they found each other.

Friends, he went back to Death Valley

and
over
and over

and over
His wife started coming on trips too.
So of course, Johnson builds a castle out in Death Valley.
He calls it
"Scotty's Castle"

Anyway, I think this is a lovely story
about a fraudster, theater cowboy, and rascal
and the tall handsome industrialist he defrauded
who thought that he was just the neatest guy
and built him a retirement castle in Death Valley
(and his wife, who had a great time too)

I just think #OurFlagMeansDeath needs more mules and jazz age fashion and big hats
