I remember one morning a few years back I was making breakfast for myself. So i’m frying the bacon when I hear a knock on my door. I open it to see one of those door to door solicitors from the Nation of Islam. He looked me dead in the eye and said, “I smell swine my brother.”
So I was just reading about Hollywood’s new Bruce Lee biopic thats going to get made, and they’ve pretty much fucked it up already.
So there’s this Bruce Lee movie that’s been in the works for a while. Birth of a Dragon is a “biopic” of sorts, inspired by Lee’s infamous Chinatown fight with Master Wong Jack Man. And now, the project has found its Bruce Lee. The legendary martial artist will be played by Hong Kong-born actor Philip Ng.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Ng will play Lee, while Chinese actor Yu Xia will play rival Wong Jack Man. As legend has it, the two martial artists fought in a real-life confrontation in Oakland in 1965. Details about the duel – including why they fought and who actually won – have been debated for decades, but Lee’s family credits the fight for sparking the development of the philosophy that would eventually become Jeet Kune Do.
Birth of the Dragon will be told from the perspective of Steve McKee. Wait, who the hell is that?
Steve McKee, played by Billy Magnussen – because, you know, there’s always inexplicably gotta be a white dude in the mix – is a fictional young martial artist whose allegiance is torn between the two combatants. According to previous reports about the plot, McKee ultimately joins forces with Lee and Wong to battle a vicious band of Chinatown gangsters.
So, um, yeah. This movie is going to be playing it kind of loose with the facts.

so this movie’s basically gonna be the plot of the “Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting” song?
Except, ironically told by a white dude instead of a black dude.
recast this movie with a black dude standing at the sidelines and yelling about everything that’s happening like Speedwagon or something, then at the end he says his name’s Carl Douglas and he winks at the camera.

I'm a lover of fine art, illustration, photography, thunderstorms, and documentaries. Dimples and lip biting drive me crazy. I have an appreciation for girls with a sense of humor. That's sexy to me.
