still can't get enough of bruce

I feel like we revisit this topic every couple of months. The issue: how we choose to honor and memorialize Bruce Lee. Statues, proposed theme parks, museums, TV miniseries, t-shirts... you name it. Thirty-six years after Bruce's death, his memory is still alive and kicking.

There's that Bruce Lee statue in Bosnia, of all places. Students at the University of Washington, where Lee once studied, petitioned to create a memorial on campus. Hell, I think I own about a dozen Bruce Lee-themed shirts (and counting).

This week in Hong Kong, officials announced a design competition to turn Bruce Lee's former home -- currently a love hotel, renting rooms by the hour -- into a museum: Competition aims to make Bruce Lee home a museum.

The property's owner wants the museum to include a memorial hall, a library, a kung fu studio and a film archive. Lee's daughter, Shannon Lee, and a panel of architects and town planners will judge the design competition, and the winners will be announced in November or December.

Meanwhile, Phoebe and Robert Lee, siblings of Bruce, have authorized a series of biographical films about the martial arts star, saying they want to produce a historically accurate account of their brother's life: Bruce Lee family approves biopics.

There are at least three films planned, with the first focusing on Lee's teenage years. If historical accuracy is their big thing, I'm guessing Phoebe and Robert weren't big fans of Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story or CCTV's The Legend of Bruce Lee. No word on when these new movies will begin production.
