Weird. You know it was a big year for Ghostbusters when it pops up in not one, but TWO Oscar winning films. This time, the documentary The Cove, which follows a group of Dolphin activists, has a cameo by Vigo’s painting, as the activists enlist the help of friends at ILM – there in the background of the warehouse, is Vigo.
I’ve seen this picture before, I just can’t remember where – I have no doubt it will come up in the comments.
Thanks to Nevil for the heads up! Extra thanks to Cynn, for posting this on the GBFans messageboards in December (you can even see, I’m the first to reply to his post. How can a brain work so well and so badly, all at the same time?) – I knew I saw it somewhere before. I was wrong though, it wasn’t the comments that helped my aging brain, it was Twitter.

Anyone know how old is the photo? From back in 89 or is this recent?
Recent – it’s a screenshot from the film, which just won its Academy Award. The video might have been taken earlier, but maybe a couple of years earlier, not 1989 earlier.
I posted that in the GBFans forums on Dec. 14th 2009 http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=17681
ITS VIGO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I’d think after 20 years it’d be lost or deep in storage. But they must really take pride in it. Or maybe they are sending it to the firehouse to hang on the wall.
You´re like the buzzing of flies for him!!
That painting really gets around doesn’t it?
He sticks out like a sore thumb lol!!!
I thought this was about Vigo making a cameo in a documentary that would help him win baby Oscar after all…
This is funnier to me than it should be. My brain understands why the painting is there… yet it is so out of place I can’t help but laugh. And I’ve been laughing for a while now….
I want to start a new Internet meme. Photoshop Vigo into whatever situation you see fit.
It’ll never catch on… but that won’t stop me from trying.
Oh, and is there any possibility that it came out of storage for the video game? The dev team may have wanted high quality photos of the painting to use in the game. Guess the likelihood of that depends on when this video was shot.
I’m still wanting that Vigo photoshop contest.
Maybe, but the original production took a lot of very high quality photos of the painting.
Kevin…that photoshop idea is genius.
{[CRUNCH]} you’ve…you’ve earned it.
ohhh!!! command me lord!!!
