12-11 18:32
Rush:
We worked a bit on readying our home for Christmas. Can’t compare to your week for fun!
12-11 18:32
Rush:
The memory issue is a difficult one.
12-11 18:33
Matt:
I always enjoy X-mas decorating….my favorite time of the year
12-11 18:33
Rush:
When that was happening with my mother, I would talk with her about things we did in the past.
Yes, about favorire time!
12-11 18:33
Matt:
Dad referred to me as “you know, your other half” to my wife last week….After 27 years, that stung
12-11 18:34
Rush:
Our older daughter will be coming to see us from California.
12-11 18:34
Matt:
How nice!
12-11 18:34
Rush:
Yes, sorry you are going through that.
It is not easy.
12-11 18:34
Matt:
Have you had any snow yet?
12-11 18:35
Rush:
It will be good to have her home for a bit.
Some snow.
All gone now!
12-11 18:35
Rush:
It will definitely be here soon, though!
I have a feeling it will be a lot.
12-11 18:36
Matt:
We’re heading to Philly next Wed and staying until the 26th…..Hoping for a warm front to pass through, lol
12-11 18:36
Rush:
The cold weather is now here, but no moisture for snow.
Yes, on the warm front!
12-11 18:36
Matt:
I think it will be a tough winter for the north too
12-11 18:37
Rush:
I think so.
Tonight’s extra:The Green Hornet (Chapter 7 – Bridge of Disaster)
12-11 18:38
Matt:
I’m already cued!
12-11 18:38
Rush:
We can wait to see if Mike comes by…otr someone else…
12-11 18:39
Rush:
I cued it, too.
12-11 18:40
Rush:
Tonight’s movie is not available online.
12-11 18:40
Matt:
You should be getting closer to your school break, no?
12-11 18:40
Rush:
That may cut into the attendance a bit.
12-11 18:40
Matt:
I was thinking the same thing….and next week
12-11 18:40
Rush:
Ours starts on the 21st?
12-11 18:41
Rush:
I don’t think I need to come in on the last day of finals at our school.
Yes…same thing next week.
12-11 18:42
Rush:
I hope that those who rely on the films being online will invest in at least the Winters chan films.
Those sem to be the ones that are sporadically online.
12-11 18:42
Matt:
Oh, I forgot to ask…..with the new website, are you able to decorate for X-Mas like the last site?
12-11 18:43
Rush:
TYSM for reminding me!
I was going to do that last week!
12-11 18:43
Matt:
I think I’ve purchased every Chan because to this….including the cartoon dvd’s
12-11 18:43
Rush:
Maybe after tonight’s chat I will add a little bit of cheer!
Yes, I have the same.
12-11 18:44
Matt:
Home page always put a smile on my face, lol
12-11 18:44
Rush:
Maybe if enough of us have the cartoons, we can do those again!
12-11 18:44
Matt:
I thought they were a fun pre-movie
12-11 18:45
Rush:
I made a slight change on our January 2024 schedule.
12-11 18:45
Matt:
Ah, I’ll look at it later
12-11 18:46
Rush:
I added the “Charlie Chan’s Chance” reenactment done as an extra for one of the Fox DVD discs.
It is online, too!
12-11 18:46
Rush:
I haven’t posted the 2024 calendar pages yet.
Well…
12-11 18:47
Matt:
I’m sure I’ve seen it, but it’s been awhile
12-11 18:47

12-11 18:50
Rush:
“Wuxtree!”
12-11 18:51
Rush:
“I’ll give him a BUZZ.” Get it!
12-11 18:53
Rush:
That corner is starting to look familiar!
The killer left a cigarette?
12-11 18:53
Matt:
Hmmm
12-11 18:56
Rush:
Fight!
12-11 18:56

12-11 19:17
tenman:
I have only seen this once, and that was as a kid on an saturday morning; it stuck in my memory because I have always been fascinated with precolumbian civs and archaeology
12-11 19:18
Rush:
Sort of guess, but it was probably a big deal for Monogram to have him return!
12-11 19:18
tenman:
A grasp at legitimacy
12-11 19:19
Rush:
This looks like Tijuana was used for the backdrop here.

12-11 19:21
Rush:
“The plot of this film was based on that of the 1937 movie, The Riders of the Whistling Skull (which, interestingly, featured Robert Livingston who later appeared as John Stanley in the Charlie Chan version).”
12-11 19:22
Rich in Maine:
the captain knows of CC …..wow
12-11 19:23
Rush:
It’s possible that these outdoor scenes were shot at the Mission San Fernando in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles.
12-11 19:23
Rich in Maine:
Professor Livingston I presume
12-11 19:23

12-11 19:36
Rich in Maine:
I wanna see CC in that pith helmet
12-11 19:37
Rush:
The serenade…
12-11 19:38
Rush:
La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
ya no puede caminar;
porque no tiene, porque la falta
marijuana que fumar.
Ya murio la cucaracha,
ya la llevan a enterrar,
entre cuatro zopilotes
y un raton de sacristan.
Con las barbas de Carranza,
voy a hacer una toquilla,
que ponersela al sombrero
de su padre Pancho Villa.
Un panadero fue a misa,
no encontrando que rezar,
le pidio a la Virgen pura,
marijuana que fumar.
Una cosa me la risa:
Pancho Villa sin camisa;
ya se van los carrancistas
porque vienen los villistas.
Para sarapes, Saltillo;
Chihuahua para soldados;
para mujeres, Jalisco;
para amar, toditos lados.
12-11 19:38
Rich in Maine:
Does he take requests?
12-11 19:38
Rush:
Maybe!
12-11 19:38
Rich in Maine:

12-11 19:39
Rich in Maine:

12-11 19:40
Rush:
Maybe I need to learn from BB!
12-11 19:41
tenman:
“must be then”
12-11 19:44
Rush:
These scenes were sertainly shat att he base of the Santa Suzana Mountains at the west end of the san fernando Vally of Los Angeles.
12-11 19:45
Matt:
Nice!
12-11 19:45
Dona:
I was about to ask.
12-11 19:45
Rush:
The winds we see are what’s called a Santa Ana.
12-11 19:45
Dona:
nice
12-11 19:46
Rush:
Dry weather with winds. That’s the condition when fires are a real possibility!
12-11 19:46
Rich in Maine:
did they actually film at night?
12-11 19:46
Rush:
Yes, Dona!
Have you been out that way, Dona…near Chatsworth?
12-11 19:47
Dona:
Yes, a little. I have a cousin that lives out there.
12-11 19:47
Rush:
So you probably recognize this terrain.
I used to go out there on occasion as a kid.
12-11 19:47
Dona:
Yes, it looks familar
12-11 19:48
Rush:
Chattsworth Park.
12-11 19:49
Rush:
The border mentioned must be the U.S.- Mexico border.
12-11 19:50
Dona:
I would think so.
12-11 19:50
Matt:
12-11 19:51
Rush:
Because the southern border would mean they already went through Mexico City!
TYSM…Matt…
