A young Bruce Lee snapped sometime in the late 1950s standing on a piece of flat land that would become Kowloon Tsai Park near Kowloon Tong. The Kowloon hills can be seen in the background as can the terraced hillside of the Chinese Christian Cemetery in Kowloon City.

Young Bruce Lee wearing sunglasses, black shirt and white trousers, sitting on some railings. The railings belonged to a famous restaurant in Shatin called Yucca de Lac. The view behind is of the Shatin sea and Ma On Shan mountain. The photo was taken sometime in the late 1950s before he left HK for the US.
...and this is Lee chilling on the railings at Yucca de Lac.

Black and white image shows a teenage Bruce Lee turning to look back at the camera over his shoulder. He is wearing a horizontally striped shirt and sunglasses. He is located in the hills above SHatin with the pagoda of the 10000 Buddha Temple in the background.
been doing some research on early Bruce Lee and found this image of him at Tao Fung Shan in Shatin where he used to go to collect fighting spiders. That's the 10K Buddha Temple pagoda in the background.

On Feb. 15, 1933, The Hollywood Reporter published a stellar review of King Kong. The next day, Merian C. Cooper replied this:

Top : Background plate in 'The Black Scorpion'.
Bottom : Deleted 'King Kong' 1933 spider pit.
Do you see similarities?

For the next time you read that King Kong was only censored at the time of its re-release in 1938.

Extraordinary treat for monster kids in the docu series on Disneyland, 'Behind the Attraction': a few seconds of two legends working together on Jungle Cruise crocs.
On the left, Marcel Delgado, the man who built King Kong.
On the right, Robert A. Mattey, the man who built Bruce the shark for Jaws.

“All the best of the monsters played for sympathy. That goes for my father, Karloff, myself and all the others. They all won the audience's sympathy. The Wolf Man didn't want to do all those bad things. He was forced into them.”

…well, I'm confident that a nation that can shrug off the cold-blooded slaughter of schoolchildren can shrug off this too…
With all this sadness going on, I feel nostalgic and listen to the pop music of my youth. When future looked bright.

Un monument étatique que tout écrivain digne de ce nom se doit de faire sauter à l’explosif à la première occasion pour en libérer les fragments encore vifs avant leur momification terminale."

Just learned about Oulipo, a group of French writers and mathematicians who wrote using intentionally chosen constraints.
In 1986, one of the few women members Anne F. Garréta published her first novel, Sphinx, a love story that avoids revealing the gender of the narrator or narrator's lover A***
