Before watching Avatar last night, I saw for the first time the new National Guard: At This Moment movie theater ad. What struck me the most was the faux Carmina Burana O, Fortuna style music. If you haven't seen it, check it out here:

Here's O, Fortuna for comparison:

About halfway through the ad, Nora leans over to me and says "This reminds me of the recruitment ads from Starship Troopers".

I'm sure there's something else I could comment about it (e.g. military propaganda at the movies), but I find it funny that this add strikes up such different images from both of us, neither of which makes us want to join the National Guard.
