Octopus Overlords

Hmmm Ive never heard of this movie. Its from 1994. Now I need to see it.

It's actually a reimagining of the original Fist of Fury from 1972 starring Bruce Lee.

There are SOME historical elements to it. Huo Yuen Jia is a real famous kungfu sifu. And supposedly he did have a disciple named Chen Zheng, but the stuff in the movie, like how the Japanese sent an insulting plaque to Huo's funeral, or how Chen Zheng went to challenge the whole dojo (Chinese expression: 踢館 to kick the dojo) and to "return" the plaque was completely fictional, but was iconic it was written into EVERY remake since.

There's ANOTHER "sequel" in 2010 starring Donnie Yen. He actually played the character previously in a 1995 TV series.

Well dangit...Bruce Lee, Jet Li, and Donnie Yen.....now I got 3 movies to watch. I really like Donnie Yen. Good thing Jackie Chan didn't make one or Id have 4 movies to watch.

Welp seen the entire movie there so Im gonna call that one watched.

Empire was such a beautiful movie in so many ways. Back then I didn't appreciate Carrie Fisher. Now looking back I see she was a doll. Makes me happy yet sad to see her so young and vibrant back then.

Only in Japan I guess. Does this sound like Atlas from the group Battles to anyone else?

Tenet pitch meeting. Probably spoilers.

I liked the building with the giant screens on it showing waves.

It's a few weeks old, and I guess this is the right place to share it? I don't understand how they keep finding never before materials, but it's still pretty cool.

See never-before-seen on-set footage and outtakes from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, with commentary by members of the cast and crew who brought the first Star Wars sequel to life. Featured are rare behind-the-scenes moments captured by the film’s documentary crew, including the frozen exteriors of Hoth, the Rebel base hangar, interiors of the Millennium Falcon, Cloud City, and the film’s climactic duel between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. Also included is an all-new and archival audio commentary by George Lucas, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, and Lawrence Kasdan.

Heres another video. This one is not to be entertaining. Its a serious topic about eating disorders. So skip if you dont want your heart tugged.

I think this is meant to be uplifting.

So thats why its 42.

Cool illusion (and an attempt to relate social commentary):

Bad brain...bad!

I love it.

When I arrived in Korea I fell in love with the traditional Korean wind instrument that plays the solo (taepyeongso). I've tried to find a diagram showing the dimensions (or the dimensions of a piri) so I could attempt to make one in a method similar to PVC flutes but I haven't had any luck. Even the music teachers don't have access to them (we teach the American curriculum so our music looks like the Western side of the video) and my interest isn't enough to warrant buying a real one to measure.

You could probably ask Aaron Francis.

Cool find! Thanks.

Glad to help.

I love those videos. I remember posting the first one.

Also this...

Meanwhile in Kentucky

Just be thankful they don't get snow in Florida.

You read my mind there.

He didn't ask anyone to hold his beer, though.

If only this was real. Its beautiful. Loved how they made it look even more ufo like in a lot of those animations. Would also like to see those giant human figures light it like a Olympic torch brazier.
