In Tombstone (1993), Doc Holliday says to Johnny Ringo “You look like someone just walked over your grave” while approaching him for the duel at the oak tree. Johnny Ringo’s body was found under that oak tree and his grave is there to this day & is actually a tourist attraction.
His body was found with a single shot to his right temple, although it was believed to have been a suicide.
He (doc) also says Ringo was too high strung, as a nod to the fact that it’s agreed upon that he suffered from severe depression and committed suicide as opposed to being killed in a gunfight like the movie

I lived in Tombstone for a while… pretty strange place. The town was burned down twice. The only two original buildings are the theater and the bar next to it because they were made out of Peublo clay
Amazing night sky.
The Apache reservation close by has… strange.. things that happen there.
There is a picture of a Tombstone pizza wagon at the bar next to the theater but according to Wikipedia that isn’t where Tombstone pizza got their name.

Going against Holliday is suicide.

Okay, looks like I’m watching Tombstone again this weekend.
Val as Doc is, imo, the greatest performance of any actor in living memory.
“I’ve got two guns… one for each of ya” *Spins both guns around trigger fingers simultaneously in opposite directions*
Do y’all know how hard that spin is? I would practice with toy guns for hours and could only just barely do it.

Imagine getting dusted so bad they make the scene of your demise a tourist attraction

No movie has ever been more elevated by a performance than Val in Tombstone.
“We was just fooling around”
*In vino veritas*
“Wyatt Earp is my friend”
“Well hell Doc, I got lots of friends”
“I don’t”
I have not yet begun to defile myself
Not me. I’m in my prime!
I’m right as the mail. (My wife knows I’m really sick when I tell her this.)
I am now watching Tombstone
I’m your huckleberry
