this list is wonderful. i usually lurk, soaking up all the good stuff.

but i really want to thank everyone for the earlier posts on crouching tiger.

i had already seen it, but decided to see it again, just for the pots & kiln.

off i went to my local faboo theatre & watched it in a private balcony. wow, are we
spoiled in rochester!

the pots were amazing... and i managed to make some quick sketches of a few.

and the kiln setting near the end... wow... i'd love to see it again.



i don't even know if the pots & kiln were consistent with whatever the time period
was... anyone have any ideas?

and as long as i'm in the requesting mood...

wouldn't it be great if there were a web site that focused on this aspect of the
movie?

since that's not going to happen... anyone have any good web or book references on
the pots & kiln that we saw? i may even have to see it again!
