12.30.08
- I have updated most of
the site this past week. It was time for some 'cleaning' up before the New Years
starts, you might say. Updates: FAQ, Brandon & Eliza, Picture Archive,
Facts, Blog, Brandon Lee Movement.
On the behalf of myself and my family, as well as all those who
help me out at this end, I would like to extend very HAPPY NEW
YEAR wishes to all readers of our site, and fans in general of
Brandon Lee, who keep his legacy alive. Brandon's inspiration
for living life to the fullest and making the world a better
place by contributing something to humanity, is never far from
our aims to make sure he is remembered and his life celebrated.
His energy is out in the universe bringing new light, I like to
think, to inspire that same social conscience and sense of
possibility of what life can hold, for every single one of us.
Some day we all will be gone, and I do believe if we are able to do
what we can to help celebrate more of our own humanity and the
beauty of life, we all can share in the same destiny. Life
is for living, so everyone one of you go out there and pursue
your dreams, be true to yourself, be kind to others, love
everyday and have the best time possible. If Brandon
demonstrated anything, it certainly was that!


12.19.08
- In case you
have been living in a cave for the last few days, the news that there are now proposed
plans to re-make the original film of The Crow, has angered many fans. While for
a number of years there has been suggestions that a literal translation of the
comic should be done, the idea that Stephen Norrington wants to re-make a film
that was already made and is not outdated by any means, to many is rather
concerning. Norrington comments
about removing gothic elements and making the characters more realistic, also
haven't sat well with the large majority of fans. So, in an effect to address
fans concerns, we have started a petition to send to the makers clarifying that
any plans to re-make a film using the developed character of Eric Draven (Draven
was not the same Eric from the comic in many ways) that Brandon contributed
significant artistic input and ideas into, would not be supported by fans, if it
were copied. If they wish to do a literal translation, fine, but the
statements in the media indicate that it has been proposed to try and pump new
blood into the franchise, by trying to copying what should be left well and good
alone, and what has great artistic integrity, is not widely going to be
supported by fans. Please check our blog for the latest opinion on this. And please sign
this
petition to let Edward R. Pressman & Stephen Norrington know that a original
re-make of the film is not warranted or supported, and whats more it will be only
disrespectful and unethical against the screen legacy Brandon created in the
film.

12.7.08
- It has been a
while since I have been able to update the site, but better late than never -
huh? I have been working hard on number of projects, mainly the research
biography one and so updates have been slow. Kelly and myself are working
towards getting the better quality pictures of Brandon for the new galleries,
which will be a collection of the full archive file on Brandon.
I have re-vamped a few sections and
this has been done for clarity, as well as for accuracy. A few people have
emailed me in regards to wishing to know what was facts and what was opinion, so
I felt it was best to lay that out for those readers. Opinions are personal
perspectives, hopefully based on some kind of creditable information, whereas
facts are what has been proven with evidence or expert statements. Just to clear
that up. We do not make up information on this site, as we believe strongly in
historical accuracy on Brandon Lee. Some fans may find some truthful aspects on
Brandon's life hard to read or understand, but that is why we are here - to
educate and inform. Our site is one of the few who have made it their mission to
report the truth, with as much accuracy we possibly can. However, we do not
invade anyone's personal privacy, and it is important to remember that some
information should remain private, as not everything Brandon would have agreed
to have it known to all. I ask for all fans and readers to remember and be
mindful of respect and the boundaries of decency.
10.6.08
- I had added an
official blog to the site. Our first blog entry is addressing some concerns some
readers recently brought to my attention, as well my own observations online in
the last few years. It is my hope that sites like this one, which provide the factual and
accurate information on Brandon, can then help educated those misguided
individuals who seem to be contend with posting crap about Brandon, and his
loved ones, spreading gossip as truth. I have had a small one on myspace, but thought we deserved one
on here too. Also, I have changed and added graphics on this page and
site. In the next few days some new pages will be launched. Check back for
new changes soon. Anyone who has sent some inquiries or questions in the
last few weeks and haven't heard back, have no fear. I have been especially busy
doing some important site business elsewhere. I am a little slow in some of my
e-mails, but if they are pertaining to questions on Brandon, they may just turn up
in the new addition of the FAQ. Everyone else, I will get to you
eventually. I am only one person, so try and remember that.
As always I appreciate all the
support fans and friends continue to give us in our aim to preserve and promote
Brandon's true legacy.
09.12.08
-
I have made some updates to the website, including the BLM,
Brandon & Eliza and FAQ.
There will be some minor changes to some parts of the website soon. I am adding
a new section to the B & E site answering people's questions and opinions. This
will allow the page to be divided into factual elements and then educated or
analytical opinion. I also have been working with my friend Kelly Anderson (from
the Always and Forever Brandon Lee gallery) to bring fans a bigger and better
gallery that is not limited by MSN's temperamental servers. I will be hosting the
new gallery and we will be able to host pictures at a greater resolution and
size. We also are going to have an exclusive section for special members for
special pictures collected by us that are rather too precious to share publicly
(where they too often end up on eBay into someone else's pocket).
I want to send a thank you out to my
sweet friend, Kiara. She runs an Italian site on Brandon Lee's legacy, and like us,
wants Brandon to be accurately remembered for who he was, not who he wasn't. Kiara created some wonderful artwork to be placed
around people's sites and profiles. Feel Free to use them. The aim is to truthfully represent Brandon's life. We thank Kiara for all her hard work to
put fans in the right direction and bring them back (often) to a logical
reality. Good work Kiara!!!

I have
done some editing and fixed a few
errors up. If you notice any let me know. I apologize in advance for any - but
keep in mind I often update this site at 1am when my eyes want to take a nap. Ha
ha!
Anyway, I have updated the
BLM, Fact, FAQ
and Brandon & Eliza page. I have fixed up the
layout in the Print Media page, so it should be working fine now.
07.14.08
-
I have made some more updated to the Brandon & Eliza
page, as well as to the Print Media where I have
added more articles. As previously mentioned, updates will be a bit slow for a
while. I am committed to providing the fans with all the articles I have in my
collected (although after 16 years - I think only the rare and best should be
seen).
07.11.08
-
I have made some updates to the Brandon & Eliza
page to both the story and quotes pages, as well to the BLM
page.
07.10.08
-
I have made some updates to the
FAQ,
and
Fact
pages. The Brandon Lee Movement would also like to send our condolences to
The Crow creator James O'Barr, who recently lost his mother. Your in our
thoughts, James.
7.09.08
-
I have made some updates to the Print Media page
with new databases being added. I also have finally finished the Fan
Soul Mates tribute page to
Brandon & Eliza. I also have re-edited the
Biography page. I am currently undertaking a
new research project on Brandon's life and legacy, so updates may be slow for a
while. Please keep any questions coming and let me know your thoughts. Remember
there is no movement without your input. Were in this together!
Keep the faith!
7.06.08
-
It has been a few months since updates - I know. I have updated the
Brandon & Eliza page, Fact or Fiction, as well as added a new affiliate to our
site. I have been busy trying to update the print media site with new
interviews, as well as design a new mainframe for the article database. Please
be patient. I am only one person, and I do have a life - so remember patience is
a virtue.
4.15.08
- We are
adding a section onto the site this week. This week (April 17th) for those fans
who don't know will be the 15th anniversary of what should of been Brandon &
Eliza's wedding day. We thought we would pay homage to two soul mates that will
forever be linked as one. As their dedication on Brandon's tombstone reads,
'Brandon and Eliza, Ever joined in true love's beauty.' To celebrate and honor
the love that Brandon described to James O'Barr as changing his life, we thought
fans could join in with us and send us poems, pictures, artworks and any words
you would like to say about this classic couple. You can now view this page
through the quote link on the main Brandon & Eliza
page.
Eliza was a very important
part of Brandon's life (perhaps the most important thing to him), and the one
thing he was looking forward to most was this wedding day with the love of his
life. They had such special love between them, so we thought all fans would be
able to add something to honor Brandon & his beloved on this day. It is to
celebrate love and the immortal themes that have inspired many The Crow fans.
Fans that wish to contribute send me an email.
4.8.08 -
It has been a while since we have updated the page with some content, but it
will be done soon. I am working on doing more transcriptions for interviews and
articles, as well as some other new additions. It does take some time, and I
also am busy working on another Brandon Lee project besides the WOF Campaign, so
please be patient. BLM has eight years of serving the Brandon Lee internet
community and we aren't going anywhere, so sit back and enjoy the view.
03.31.08
- Today marks the 15th anniversary of Brandon's passing. A lot of thoughts
are in my head as this landmark occasion takes place, but mostly I am thinking
of what kind of positive impact and influence Brandon had on my life, and my
thoughts are with Linda, Shannon and Brandon's beloved Eliza at this difficult
time of year.
Some sentiments on
our myspace blog:
Brandon Lee - The Man He Was
Thanks
for all fans for all they do to respectfully remember and honor Brandon, and
help carry on his legacy. It is something his loved ones, I am sure, appreciate.
