Is this face featured in all of the Columbia movies?
Chris Anderson sent us this interesting screenshot from Columbia Pictures’ “Quantum of Solace” intro. I had some problems spotting the hidden face at first, but when I finally found it I was convinced it couldn’t appear there by accident. I’m certain Columbia pictures integrated this guy on purpose, but what I can’t be sure is whether the face can be seen in all of the Columbia movies, or was it only supposed to be some kind of Easter egg reserved only for newest James Bond flick? Further, does this guy remind you of someone? Is it the famous “Stay Puft” Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters? Would be logical if Columbia owns rights for Ghostbusters, but this shouldn’t be too hard to investigate. Let us suppose this was true, then probably its just a hidden advertisement for newest Ghostbusters sequel (in production). Before I log out, this is what Chris wrote me:
“I discovered your website a few days ago and have enjoyed looking at hundreds of illusions by now. I guess my mind has been in ‘optical illusion’ mode, as when I sat down to watch the “Quantum of Solace” James Bond movie today, I saw an extra face in the “Columbia” film intro. I’ve attached a screenshot. I’m new to this but surely someone else has noticed the illusion.”
Can this bee The "Stay Puft Marshmallow Man" from Ghosbusters movie?

I didn’t notice the face under her arm until after I noticed the one about 75-80% to the right side of the pic. It looks like it has some kind of demon horn(s) too, but that’s just me..
wow! saw it right away. cool.
LoL nic3
I guess you must have seen this as I found it through a link on your site, but it’s still good:

the one you’ll like is the impossible Escher triangle in Perth, Australia.
Yep – it’s added – Have a look at the original

In addition to the “Ghostbuster” face under the torch, there are two more faces on the bottom right of the picture that seem to be looking at her
It’s certainly not the standard logo that was created in 1993 and still in use today. That one can be found here. http://ranahammad.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/columbia-pictures-logo.jpg
It’s the 2007 enhanced version. Here’s a youtube of it..

wow
neat
i saw the face right away.
i can see loads of faces. maybe they are meant to be there. not sure about the ghostbusters thing though
Columbia owns rights for Ghostbusters. It wasn’t hard to investigate: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087332/companycredits
If you can’t check IMDB before writing a post why don’t you just put the images without all your annoying commentary?
They make me want to stop checking at this site.
Asian fat guy FTW!!
I think the “face” has head with hair, looks like an old style or something.
Hmm, I should check other columbia movies :D
the human brain is ‘programmed’ to see faces everywhere. in this case, i think it is coincidence.
I definitely see a face (saw it right away), but I don’t see the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man…
wow
it took me 5 seconds to find it
Some people look too hard
I notced that before this was putten on moillusions
Definitely a deliberately added face (or 2 or 3) there, but the Ghostbusters connection is a BIIIGGGG stretch. I’ve got that big marshmallowy bastard’s face etched in my memory from watching that movie 100 times as a young lad, and that doesn’t even look remotely like him.
Yeah…out of all the movies that would be worth promoting…I don’t think thats one of them. Cool illusion, I don’t think its that deep though.
the only face i see is the old man, sideon on the left hand side of the cloud (the darker patch). At a stretch i can see the ones mentioned above – but clouds are always like this – you see loads of faces in them, because as humans we’re programmed to see faces. I don’t think this is intentional.

about face in clouds picture.
Faces are ubiquitous , in nature and art. Trolls in rocks, faces in paintings of trees and shadows, the face on Mars, the man in the moon. Artists need to get rid of them if they dont want them. we see patterns, and respond to what looks like us. My friends and I constantly see faces in snow, food. Any irregularity contains resemblance to faces. We live in relationship. We also see faces in faces, we love Marilyn Monroe, we say a woman is as beautiful as the moon. Flounders look like my father. And, of course, patterns of faces are real. Patterns of faces tend to form. That is why we have faces. When I say we, I include insects as well as apes and cats and…
The entire universe is the expression of abstract relationship taking form.

It’s cool, but it looks like a clear case of parousia.
how do i submit a pic 4 u 2 see? love the web site and just wondering
I don’t think I can buy the marshmallow man. To me it looks like a white haired baby with sun glasses. On the right it could be a relative of Hell Boy who is looking at what could pass for Abraham Lincoln who is looking at the two thin clouds in the open space; but hey, what the cumulus do I know?! Clouds do leave a lot open to interpretation. Thanks for the quality site I enjoy viewing.
Um… you guys do realize that seeing faces in clouds is quite common, right? This one is not that uncanny.
The amount of films I have watched and I have never noticed that but it is so cool and I will look out for it in the future x
great image!
and eww, Marco – YOUR commentary is annoying…
This is Vurdlak’s page and he has the right to write anything he wants on it.
If you watch each frame you can see Mr Echos life and death.
Now that you mention it, I can see at least 3 other faces in the clouds: the chubby face, on the right side of the image is a profile of and old person, and the other right side clouds have left facing profiles as well.
woah, lmao!!! i think i see the face…. but in the right i see an arm…… lik half the arm and the hand…. cool stuff xD
Vurdlak thank you for your great site, yes sometimes I read the commentary and think “hmmm thats not quite right” but that never takes away the enjoyment of seeing new illusions.
Marco are you coming to this site to read the commentary or look at the illusions? Personally I have problems looking at the pattern illusions, I can’t make out anything in them and they make me feel car sick looking at them, but I still come back to the site and appreciate that Vurdlak takes the time and effort to add some dialogue to his posts.
It’s in all movies, not just quantum of solace. I saw it in angels and demons today
Another good illusion. Vurdlak, keep up the good work.
Marco, you’re an idiot. You dont have to read what anyone has written if you dont want to. Just look at the pictures, like those books your parents gave you as a child and you probably still look at today. If something as simple as a guy writing on his own website annoys you that much then I really pity you. Don’t come back if it bugs you that much. In fact, it’s probably best you stay off the internet all together. Why dont you do something useful like take your angry little self into the corner of the room, sit down and lick the wall.
I have heard that the picture is Orsen Wells, I don’t know if this is true: or if Orsen was connected with Columbia,
By the way I really enjoy the sight and the comments
There’s two. I reckon the one on the right is more prominent.
wonderful pictures… i love it a lot….
that’s really interesting i never noticed it before…it reminded me of csper the ghost for some reason…but that’s unrelated…
I’d love to say, oh, how cool. However, I live in an apartment and the bathroom floor design is that of blocks filled with cloud-like designs. I have living in my floor several men’s faces, women’s faces, wolves, dogs, and even birds. It’s human nature to look for faces in clouds or any design. If we see a triangle of dots within a fuzzy figure, we could swear it’s a face. It’s just our nature. Think about it. There’s nothing very special about this so-called illusion.
I see like four faces. I do see the resemblence of the Marshmallow man, and I have to say I love this site. For for people like Marco who write things like”If you can’t check IMDB before writing a post why don’t you just put the images without all your annoying commentary?
They make me want to stop checking at this site.” I say keep it to yourself. The rest of us like this site just how it is. I find the commentary very interesting most of the time.
!!! I’ve seen that face every time I watch a Columbia movie; I never thought it would be featured on this site! Cool.
Vurdlak, (responding to Marco’s comment)
Don’t listen to him, because I like the way u introduce your illusions. PS – I love this illusion, and I’ll be looking for it in future movies as well.
it is not added. Its like that, has always been. U can’t just take a still pic. from google. ist moving araound has always been.
The face has not been added,, it is on every single columbia dvd i own (which is a few XD)!!!
