Night on Baldback Mountain

The devil, visiting the earthly plane, begins a long affair with a lonely shepherd. There is orchestral music. Directed by Walt Disney.

Don't you mean "Produced by Pixar"? 8)

Modest Mussorgsky is one of my favourite composers. From the powerful Great Gate of Kiev and Night on Bald Mountain, to many of the much more "friendly" parts of Pictures at an Exhibition, he really "floats my boat" musically.

My Own Private Brokeback Mountain

In this play on Henry IV: Part 1, two cowboy hustlers (one narcoleptic, one who says nothing but "whoa, dude") ride motorcycles, take drugs, shag for money, and frighten the sheep. Shakespeare rises from his grave. Hilarity ensues.

Velvet Goldmountain

Loosely based on the rumours surrounding Bowie and Iggy in their glam-cowboy days. Faked death, eyeliner, Oscar Wilde, aliens, and sheep. Plot? What plot?

You know me and crossover fics... *plot bunnies*

Yep. Keanu's the Hal figure, and William Richert (as Bob) is Falstaff, IIRC.

It goes beyond that, in the Hal saga...

From IMDB, a quote re: Bob from one of the other characters in MOPI, Jane Lightwork:

I'm the one who heard him cry out last night. He said "God, God, God..." three or four times. And when I got there I put my hand into the bed and felt his feet. And they were cold as stone. And I checked the rest of his body. And it too was as cold as stone...

...compared to a quote re: Falstaff from Mistress Quickly in the Bard's Henry V (Act II, Scene III):

(...) So a' cried out 'God, God, God!' three or four times. (...) I put my hand into the bed and felt them, and they were as cold as any stone; then I felt to his knees, and they were as cold as any stone, and so upward and upward, and all was as cold as any stone.

You need some mental immodium then for this thread...

Just say "no" to any more gay cowboy references.
