Hi,

Awhile back there was a pretty long thread that had members listing bonsai "sightings" in movies...... a couple of threads actually.

I didnt list the threads.....cause I knew you were bored and lookin for something to do!!!

well they are in a anime series called cowboy bebop (my fav) one of the main characters named jet keeps quiet a large collection of them, also they are mentioned in a game called max payne 2 near the end, and are also in the police cheifs office. another appearance is in the simpsons on many occasions in principle skinners office. i know these arent movies but i thought id mention them.

There's a gorgeous juniper INDOORS in the Partridge house in the movie Magnolia, and some nice suiseki by the door. Great flick, btw.
