Good evening, Steve!
10-02 18:30
Hawaii_Steve:
Aloha Rush. Good afternoon from Hawaii.
10-02 18:31
Hawaii_Steve:
A few hours ago, I reached out to John Cork. I invited him to the chat.
10-02 18:31
Rush:
Aloha, Sir!
NICE!
I hope he comes by!
10-02 18:31
Hawaii_Steve:
It’s 1:30 PM on a hot and humid day in Kailua. How’s by you?
10-02 18:32
Rush:
How was your day, Steve?
10-02 18:32
Rush:
6:30 here, warm with some humidity.
Sun is setting.
10-02 18:33
Rush:
We just had a BUNCH of cement work done.
10-02 18:34
Rush:
Did you watch “Trilogy of terror” on Svengoolie?
10-02 18:34
Hawaii_Steve:
Cement work, huh.
10-02 18:34
Rush:
Yes.
The driveway was the last stage.
10-02 18:35
Hawaii_Steve:
I hear low-pops when you post a reply. Are these the only sounds on this site?
10-02 18:35
Rush:
Yes. Louise brought along her own sounds some months ago.
And those worked well.
10-02 18:35
Hawaii_Steve:
I’ve been off for the past four days. I did not see Svengooglie. I do not have TV at my place.
10-02 18:36
Rush:
But she hasn’t done it since.
AH!
10-02 18:36
Hawaii_Steve:
With your permission, may I post a few then & now photos for tonight’s film?
10-02 18:37
Rush:
I saw that made for TV movie with Karen Black back when it originally aired in 1975.
Yes, please do!
10-02 18:37
Hawaii_Steve:
Does it hold up today?
10-02 18:37
Rush:
Also, please feel free to thrown in any information you like tonight!
It reall DOES hold up well still.
(really)
10-02 18:38
Hawaii_Steve:
I will do so, but I don’t want to step on your toes.
10-02 18:38
Rush:
The Zuni doll one is the best of the three!
That’s the one that people remember!
10-02 18:38
Hawaii_Steve:
I plan on commenting on Kailua Beach and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. Also, Prospect St.
10-02 18:39
Rush:
You can probably find the movie on the Internet.
YES!
Please DO!!!
10-02 18:40
Rush:
We ususlly dont have many for the “extra” which is “Agent X-9.”
10-02 18:40
Hawaii_Steve:
I haven’t seen Trilogy of Terror since it first aired. It’s developed a bit of a Cult following, I believe.
10-02 18:40
Hawaii_Steve:
Too bad. The extras are fun and interesting. In my opinion.
10-02 18:41
Rush:
People have their personal routines, etc., I guess.
10-02 18:42
Hawaii_Steve:
Tomorrow is Oland’s birthday. 144 years old. Wow!
10-02 18:42

10-02 18:43
Hawaii_Steve:

10-02 18:44
Rush:
That list you drew up in 1970 was an impressive bit of typing…and of course the information was excellent for the time!
10-02 18:44
Hawaii_Steve:
I’m at youtube now.
10-02 18:44
Rush:
Chapter 12 of 13.

Lloyd Bridges is X-9.
10-02 18:45
Rush:
Keye Luke is a good guy. and Benson Fong is not a good guy!
10-02 18:46
Rush:
Interestingly, Keye Luke plays “Ah Fong” in the serial. Benson Fong’s restaurants in L.A. were named “Ah Fong.”
Well…we should start rolling…
I will do a fast countdown.
10-02 18:46

10-02 19:06
Hawaii_Steve:
Slick production but acting is a bit stilted. In my opinion.
10-02 19:06
Mike in DC:
There seem to be a lot of loose ends to tie up. Should be a fun conclusion.
10-02 19:06
Rush:
Yes, but still entertaining!
10-02 19:07
Mike in DC:
Agreed, Steve.
10-02 19:07

Agreed, Mike.
8 minutes till showtime!
10-02 19:07

Serials were supposed to be filled with action. This one has a lot of talk to it. Oh, well.
10-02 19:08
Mike in DC:
But now the stage is set for the real star of the evening
Well, there was the action-packed “sign your name” scene, Steve
10-02 19:08

True, but there has been some decent action in some of the earlier episodes.
10-02 19:08
Nothere:
