Have any of you seen this before?

I wish I could pay somebody to paint a Bond themed mural in my room.

That is certainly interesting, and you have to admire the daring in recreating part of the CGI ice wave debacle.

Who is this Pears Brosnan fellow though? Any relation to Apples Brosnan or Bananas Brosnan?

Nicely done!

As for paying someone, you could. Put an ad up in Craigslist.

I'm sure that you can be politer than this, although I accept that it may take a little effort.

Someone please ban this guy. :(

Judging by your previous posts, I think you're the one who needs the spelling lessons.

For someone who is poking fun at spelling on a website, sure could use some grammar lessons.

I personally detest the whole thing! The only part of it I'd even consider having on the wall would be the Brosnan door.

That is so cool. I would get one in my room but never, never would i get it DAD. It would probably be either OHMSS or CR. Now that would be a tough decision.

It's beautiful. Works really well. I wouldn't have gone with that movie, but then CGI doesn't look like CGI in a painting! If the movie had lived up to iconography in DAD it would have been cracking. If you take anything from it, take the icons.

I was speaking specifically of your use of 'your' rather than the proper you're. Your is a possesive, and you're is the shortened form of "you are."

Care to share the phone number of the artist? :(

I'd go with a Casino Royale theme though.

VERY cool mural. Other than the fact that the mural contains some of my least favorite moments from one of my least favorite Bond movies, it is still nicely done.

As someone said, right idea, wrong movie.

Awesome room. And one that pretty much guarantees the occupant will never have sex...ever.

Oh, I don't know. You could probably get Lee Tamahori's motor running in there, if you supplied him with the right dress.

The Brosnan image is nice, but the perspective is wonky on the Vanquish. On the other hand, the para-surfing scene is actually more exciting and better looking in interior latex paint than it was a zillion-dollar CGI. The filmmakers should have just done the stunt as a pan and zoom on this painting and used the left-over money to hire a real singer for the theme song.

I don't know about that. My apartment looks like a cross between a Superman & Roger Moore museum and yet I have somehow managed to get laid there. Of course, it's been a while since the last time.

Genius. It's the second time I've brought it up today, but I think a mural of Moonraker's space laser battle would lessen one's chances even more.

On a similar note, I was in a very post restaurant today and the signs to indicate the women's and men's toilets respectively were the famous shot of Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany's and this shot of Sean Connery from Goldfinger.

Class.
