We went to see Rango yesterday. The film features a Greek chorus in the form of a Mariachi band made up of four owls with Mexican accents. At one point Rango and the townspeople of Dirt attempt to get close to the bad guys by putting on a "thespian performance". The owl guitarist (who also plays banjo in The Flight of the Valykyries) briefly switches to lute and the band plays a snippet of Sellinger's Round.
It went by so fast I thought I might have imagined it, but Ekko saw it too. Many jokes over the head of children. How many kids are familiar with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, or Chinatown? ..Bob To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
