Maid in Manhattan is one of the greatest love stories of our generation. You watch your dirty pirate hooker mouth!

This post would have been better if the photographer had realized from the beginning that cutting the white off the paper was a good idea.

Static

no kidding. and i dont know, maybe….. print a regular color picture?? these look like you ran em off on a xerox copier from 20 years ago. This thread was a total fail.
qbcoach9

Agreed. A little effort goes a long way.

Shenanigans

Why pay all that money to go all over the world, and use such crappy photos? Great idea, poor execution.

Taco_Depot

and if someone realized that half of these are from in front of the same building/museum in NYC. But I guess it's like art: "My child could have painted this!"… "Yes, but he didn't"

Dear Mr. or Mrs. Photographer,

Please trim the margins on your cut-outs. It ruins the illusion that you are trying to create.

Sincerely,

The entire Chive Community.

Tae

It is a very hairy arm, I would assume male or unfortunate female

Chad

I don't thinks it's ever safe to assume when a female may be involved. It a good way to get a slap n the face.

yup

half of these are at the metropolitan museum

#28 – seriously? why not just put up the one of them making out ?
Kayvon

i thought this was about "popular movies… #6
meh

This guy (or gal) really went through a lot of trouble for such a half-ass presentation. Bollocks.

<img src="http://storeshopnow.com/mm/imada/ns.jpg"/>good shot & amazing idea <img src="http://storeshopnow.com/mm/imada/sn2.jpg"/>
Dan

Cool idea… but the white borders on the pictures are messing up the magic. http://www.dollarrubberclub.com
Hammer and tongs

You travel the whole world to undertake this project and you don’t use a colour printer or cut the edges off….?

Unfkngblvbl

While I agree, I don't believe he traveled the world, though…just New York, I think.

JasPen

This post was misleading… you said Popular Films… #6
Timmy

Yes, Tower Heist wasn't a popular movie, but will people stop repeating the same joke? Beating a dead horse… #6
Mrmin24

The trees sure grow slowly in #22
George Zip

#3, #4 trim the goddamned photos first next time; geez
matador

it would be nice if he had added where they were taken (city)

akskhgl

Agreed, my first thought!
IrishInNJ

Umm, you're kidding right? All except Tomb Raider, The Quiet American & Hangover 2 are clearly in NYC.

ThaGnome

#41 Warriors best movie ever!!!!!
Ackbar

#2 My favourite.
What are the chivers?

fattypratty

Definitely my favorite movie from the lot selected. Thumbs up.

fattypratty

Great idea. Perhaps getting a second person to take the photo so they could line the shot up better would be a wise decision.
Kyle

Trim the margins. I am not sure if black and white is a good idea or a bad, but you could also use photo grade paper instead of normal printer stock.

#14 #42 #43 #45

I've lived in New York for over 10 years and haven't sat on those steps…am I missing something?

Shocktek

What building is it?
Lazy Tango

I've lived in NY my whole life and have never been to the Guggenheim or the statue of liberty.

IrishInNJ

Metropolitan Museum of Art

Technician

#41 warriors… come out and play-ay… such an awful movie, but once you start watching it… you seriously can't stop.

ThaGnome
