Nice, did not know about the outdoor shots in Oregon, like those driving scenes in the opening shot, where you can see the shadow of the helicopter filming the aerial shots, looks like good country for driving through and hiking.

Love The Shining obviously, have not seen Popeye, but I really enjoyed some of the other Altman films that she was in, Nashville especially.
