Skyfall

So I saw Skyfall this weekend, the new James Bond movie, and there is this scene where he is sitting in an Art Gallery (I'm assuming the National Gallery) when Q sits down next to him and they begin  reflecting on the art Bond sat down to observe.

And then I freak out for a minute, because Bond is sitting in front of the work of J.M.W Turner, the painter I wrote the Contexts assignment on. They are comparing him to the ship in The Fighting Temeraire tugged to her last berth to be broken up (1838)


And right next to it is Rain, Steam, and Speed: The Great Western Railway (one of the paintings I (and Hardy) wrote about):
