    Super old Hong Kong kung fu classic: Buddha’s Palm

    These two (out of a series of four) are from around 1964, many years before Bruce Lee came onto the scene to show the world how it’s done.

    By modern standards, these are poorly produced movies — simplistic script/plot, mediocre acting/direction, bad animal costumes, worse than cartoonish “special effects”, forget about period authenticity ... they are really, really bad.

    Nonetheless this series of movies brought a lot of foundational kung fu mythologies to the silver screen, their many elements are widely derived, referenced, or otherwise paid homage by later kung fu movies, novels, and graphic novels.

          RWBY: Volumes 1 through 4 now available on YouTube.

          The animation style gets a bit to get used to, but you get used to it very quickly, and the action sequences are GREAT !!!

          The above links to Volume 1, the YouTube side bar on the right should take you to the other volumes. Enjoy!

            16 ways to wrap a dumpling.
            No need to understand the audio, just watch the video.
            1 through 8 can be boiled in water.
            9 through 14 can only be steamed.
            15 & 16 are for deep frying.

                The fancy dumplings are little pieces of art. Beautiful.

                              Light hearted rom-com. It’s got pianos in it, a Baldwin features prominently, and brief shots of Mason & Hamlin mentioned by name with one wide shot showing the Faust Harrison piano store front briefly.

                                      @george-k What is interesting about the sound there?

                                      on a kind of related topic, I "bookmark" this site a long time ago. Thought it was interesting.

                                      Sound Effects from BBC

                                      Thousands and thousands of sound effects and recordings.

                                      For example
                                      "Greylag Goose (Anser Anser) - close-up flight calls & wingbeats from a small group flying past"

                                      But, if you need another of a Greylag Goose, there is also
                                      "Greylag Goose (Anser Anser) - close-up adult threat, cackling & hissing. "

                                      And on and on. LOL

                                        When I watched “Soul,” I was very impressed at how realistic and how precisely the pianist’s hands were animated and fit to music. I wish the video talks even more about that, but it’s a good start:
