OK, here's an item I've been meaning to mention:

A few weeks ago, the Washington Post (Weekend section) ran a movie ad for
a film called "The Tango Lesson". If I recall correctly, the movie reviews
indicated that it's a fairly innocuous movie about a dance instructor.

What was interesting was that the ad showed two images side by side, with
a gap between them, and the aspect ratio of the images and the relative
spacing between them looked (to me) almost exactly like a Realist mount!
(It wasn't stereo, however - the two images were identical.)

Did anyone else notice that? And if anyone saw the movie (I don't have any
plans to do so), were there any 3D references in the movie, or was it just
a clever prank by the graphic artist who made the ad (or a fantastic
coincidence)?
