Matt1: GS just got cloned
Mike n Rachel in DC: So the Chans had Karloff, Lugosi and Chaney. The horror trifecta.
Mike n Rachel in DC: I think I’m seeing double.
Godwinshelley2: Yes – Chaney was on Broadway and the Chan-almost Moto film
Rush: Yes, Mike.
Rush: And, TRUE, GS!
Godwinshelley2: Don’t forget the Lorre – standing in for Chan
Godwinshelley2: And the almost visit byn Carradine in Olympics
Rush: Of cource, the Moto film was to have been a Chan movie: “Charlie Chan at the Ringside.”
Rush: (course)
Rush: Yes, GS.
Mike n Rachel in DC: That was an ok Moto.
Godwinshelley2: I might be missing our Monday evenings coming up – have to be in Indiana for my Mom & Dad – health issues – might be out there for a few weeks/months while we help them
Rush: AND…we might be able to count J. Carroll Naish who was the hunchback in, I believe, “House of Frankenstein.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Oh dear. I hope all goes well, GS.
Godwinshelley2: Rush – of course – Naish
Matt1: Best of luck GS….sorry
Rush: Yes, GS…I hope that things go well for your parents.
Mike n Rachel in DC: It’s always fun to trace the careers of these actors in and out of various movies.
Godwinshelley2: As you know the internet does not exist well in the Hoosier Heartlands – so if I can pop in, I will
Rush: Very good.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Look for the Interwebs, GS.
Rush: And, yes, Mike.
Rush: I always enjoy seeing other films with Chan actors in them.
Godwinshelley2: Their library turns off their internet when they close up – you can’t sit in the parking lot and get it
Mike n Rachel in DC: One of my aunts swooned for Lionel Atwill…was always fun to find him popping up in things. And yes, Rush, especially the character actors from the Chans.
Matt1: Ready here for GH
Rush: How about a Starbucks?
Godwinshelley2: HA! No Starbucks ther
Rush: π
Godwinshelley2: It’s a dinky town

Rush: I guess it’d be worth it, though!
Godwinshelley2: Is that the same road they used in a couple Chan films – the beach one maybe?

Mike n Rachel in DC: The Hornet arrives!

Godwinshelley2: Yikes an animal died for THAT??
Mike n Rachel in DC: Good plan, Angel. Don’t give a scrut to anyone.

Godwinshelley2: Yes Phil – I thought that too
Phil: We see him next week in Egypt.
Rush: Reference to “CC in London.”
Rush: Yes, Phil.
angel & fox: Have Cook pick out the large shards. The cake can be served to The Help and they’ll thank us at Christmas.
Rush: These three films are “connected.”

Mike n Rachel in DC: “mischief sounds nice”
Phil: Isn’t that interesting, in “Egypt” CC even mentions that he saw that guy when he was in Paris
Rush: Yes.
Rush: The OBNOXIOUS artist.
Nothere: So a Honolulul police detective has an account in a Paris bank. Yeah nothing suspicious there.
Rush: Max Corday.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Lovable drunk.
angel & fox: Walk like an Egyptian, run like a Frenchman.
Louise: Sad drunks
Rush: CC puts him in his place…
Godwinshelley2: Fur was used sparingly in clothing in these first fee
Godwinshelley2: few
Louise: icky
Rush: Max called her “Ming Toy.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Like the pigeon?
Nothere: And back to fur. Come on ladies whats with all thse patials. If your gonna fur, go full fur.
Mike n Rachel in DC: WWI reference?
Louise: It looks like full fur on the inside

Godwinshelley2: Is there any updated versions where she beats him up?
Rush: In a theatrical way…yes.
Mike n Rachel in DC: The actual doing of this stuff is amazing…they are really athletic
Godwinshelley2: I’m not
hounder: yuk
Rush: Understood!
Rush: What’s coming is worse, though!
Phil: I hope they did this in one take.
Godwinshelley2: Like she didn’t have enough problems from the dance – now dhe gets stabbed
Nothere: Guy still totally unsuspicious.
Nothere: <TINCAN>

Nothere: Oh Mike. She just saw murdering men creeping about the house.
Rush: Chan thanks the clock…I love it…
Rush: Actually, he’s grateful to the cuckoo.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Unfailingly polite
Rush: Yes.
Nothere: The cuckoo is a stool pidgeon.
Rush: Watch it!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Fail.
Rush: Fortunately, he has bad aim!
Dona: They missed YAY
Godwinshelley2: I can’t imagine there were many Chinese in Ohio where Biggers was from. So was it in Hawaii where he hit on the idea of a Chinese detective?
Nothere: I might have to change his name to slightly suspicious guy.
Nothere: Yep. He heard of an actual one called Chang Aoana. Then he figured that woud make a good character.
Matt1: Pop!
Louise: Lee!
Godwinshelley2: Nice Dressing Gown!!
Mike n Rachel in DC: No dragon though.

Mike n Rachel in DC: sent by “the firm”?
Rush: Seems so.
Godwinshelley2: Vacation?? When does Mrs Chan get a vacation?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Don’t they send him to China next?

Mike n Rachel in DC: WB AnF
Rush: Welcome back, Angel!

Louise: what is with the collar of her coat?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Well, if you get all that $ for a little peck on the cheek…
Rush: A fashionably HUGE collar.
Dona: Interesting collar Louise
angel & fox: Looks like i got timed out. But i saw that about Mazarin. Louis XIV was too nice a guy.
Rush: My posts are delayed…
Louise: Yes, I commented on the collar but it disappeared!
Louise: Mine are too Rush
hounder: ugly fashion
Rush: I see your comment above, Louise.
Rush: Running good again.
angel & fox: Those ruffled collars are headed for a comeback any season now. Great with fox fur.
Phil: And I’m having intermittent DVD malfunctions so it’s a fun night all around.

Rush: Murray Kinnell.
Dona: He’s a busy guy
Mike n Rachel in DC: Must have got tired of the secret agent life
Phil: His hair’s darker in this one.
Rush: Yes, Mike!
angel & fox: Other day a gentleman offered to clean my clock for two cents. Should i have accepted? His price seemed suspiciously high to me.
Rush: By the way…send a wave to Rachel, please!
Mike n Rachel in DC: *Rachel waves back*
Nothere: WAve
Rush: π
Dona: Waving
Mike n Rachel in DC: Munching on some peanut butter at the moment. Good Chan snack.
Louise: Is Charlie acting as a private detective here?
Rush: Seems he’s working privately, maybe as a favor…
angel & fox: RACHEL: Herewith a wave–hold it–a Ms. Merman says she’s having a heat wave. Would you like in?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Well he surely has no official capacity in France, does he?
Rush: OR…perhaps to help pay for his travels!
hounder: i think so, louise
angel & fox: She certainly can can-can. Make a note of that, Inspector.
Rush: “Must turn up many stones to find hiding place of snake.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: The can-can is fine…but can she TIN-can?
Rush: “But must be VERY careful with final stone…”
Rush: Mike: π
Godwinshelley2: Only a moment to deposit my “monthly insult”
Nothere: You maniac. Your on the wrong side of the road.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Not much traffic fortunately.
Rush: Driving along the Champs Elysees.
Rush: “Home, James…”
angel & fox: The French Army soon had no official capacity in France.
Mike n Rachel in DC: *smooch*
Mike n Rachel in DC: Hey! This is a G rated movie you two.
Rush: Home, James! – (Catchphrase) The original saying, dating from the mid-1800s and spoken to a coach driver, was supposedly “Home, James, and don’t spare the horses!” There was a 1934 song by Fred Hillebrand (1893-1963) with the same phrase as a title: Home, James, and Don’t Spare the Horses is the modern origin of the catchphrase; it was in general usage by the early 1930s.
angel & fox: Tooshay, tooshay, Capitolites!
Phil: Well that didn’t take long.
Rush: Yes, they can be “touchy,” Angel…
Nothere: Horses? Sorry Govnr only got the one but I’ll kill it getting ya ome isf ye pays enough.
angel & fox: Get a room, AND a horse!
Mike n Rachel in DC: “I’ll just hide this contraband by cleverly placing my scarf over it.”
Rush: A clue for us, here.
Nothere: Because taking the midnight train to ottowa would be silly. And bvery wet.
Rush: Shadow at the window…obviously not making the call…
angel & fox: My fox will scarf it down. He has a giant lazerrrrr.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Wearing the goofy have of the (becoming more suspicious) non-suspicious man.
Rush: Not limping…
Mike n Rachel in DC: (goofy hat)
Mike n Rachel in DC: Drat! He found my super-secret hiding place!
Nothere: Now your getting it Mik and or Racheal:)
Rush: Yvette makes a series of blunders here…
Mike n Rachel in DC: Rachel sez he should have used his socks to cover them
Mike n Rachel in DC: 1. Scream
angel & fox: If “my Georgia” was to move to Ottawa & i wanted to disguise my carbon footprints, should i say i wasctaking a midnight train to, say, Betty? Or Montreal?
Nothere: <TINCAN>
Mike n Rachel in DC: 2. Run
Rush: TYSM…NT….
Nothere: Montreal
Mike n Rachel in DC: 3. Pick up gun
Rush: 3….
Phil: We’re not sure he’s dead
Rush: Yes.
angel & fox: “Tin cans” are actually made of rolled steel, you know.
Rush: and…4…
Mike n Rachel in DC: 4. Get caught
Nothere: Now play charades.
Rush: Holding them at gunpoint.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Yep. That’s pretty much a “what not to do if someone is shot in front of you.”
Rush: They are meeting at a restaurant on the Rue Pigalle.
Rush: Out the window we will not the Moulin Rouge.
angel & fox: We know this because Fox got his self caught in a can, & after the can-can jokes the radiologist told us the can would require a giant lazerrrrr.
Louise: stogie at dinner
Rush: (Cough…)
Nothere: Ah yes the jealous woman who steals her rivals act to murder her. Seen it a million times.
angel & fox: We left without paying.
Rush: Yes…hurry…
Phil: Hey he just flashed a white supremacist sign
angel & fox: Radiologists aren’t so bright.
Rush: According the today’s PC crowd…yes.
Mike n Rachel in DC: But they always get glowing recommendations. Go figure.
Rush: To me it still means: “Okay”
angel & fox: Okey dokes!!
Nothere: Donuts are white supremacy? I need to become a white supremacist. How many free donuts do we get?
Mike n Rachel in DC: That is a white supremacist sign?
Mike n Rachel in DC: I suddenly feel very old.
Rush: That’s a rumor started not too long ago…
Nothere: People are claiming it is. Course these are the same people who say four white people in a group is a microggression.
hounder: you and me both m n r
angel & fox: Notty, i’m boycotting donuts. I get alternative renewable snacks from a holesaler.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Brb. Mouse scampered through kitchen. Great excitement at the moment.
Rush: Message is sent here….
Louise: fur or feathers?
Rush: Note what Corday says to his friend…
Phil: It’s a long story but some dimwit cadet flashed that sign at the Army/Navy football game. A huff was then created when it was alleged that the cadet was flashing a white power sign. A major to do about absolutely nothing.
angel & fox: NT, let’s not forget 3 on a match. You, Fox, & me?
angel & fox: Ah, the humanity!
Nothere: We’ll I’m for it Angel, but I’m afraid I’m Not thee:)
Rush: Lakehurst…
Nothere: there even π
Louise: shal I destroy? Destroying evidence again
Rush: Listen here…
Rush: Louise: π
Rush: f the police notice, that could have been a problem for CC.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Corday leaves…
Nothere: O.k. La touche sit on your touhe till were ready for you.
Rush: If..and NOTICED.
Rush: All this must be happening within a large community of american and British ex-patriots!
Rush: Not a bit of French to be heard!
Louise: ah, not French for sure
Mike n Rachel in DC: They all learned English during the war perhaps?
Phil: I need to report that my DVD has self-destructed. It’s completely seized up and nothing I can do can make it advance. So I now have to rely on your comments to learn who done it.
Rush: And, I doubt a Frenchman would have said “By George.”
Nothere: Sorry to hear that Phi. Right now a plant has been broken.
Rush: More likely: “Sacre Bleu!”
Dona: I agree Rush
Mike n Rachel in DC: Difficult to explain hole in doughnut? Really?
angel & fox has left this room
Rush: Lost angel again…
Nothere: Mon Dieu. They would say Sacre Bleu?
Mike n Rachel in DC: Or Singe Bleu?
Rush: Or, “Mon Dieu”…yes!
Rush: Lee fills in his Pop…
Rush: We have a flashback here.
Nothere: And I fear you shall now also lose me. Au revior mon amis. Until the next time try to mangle only one foregin language a week. π
Mike n Rachel in DC: au revoir, NT
Godwinshelley2: night
Rush: Take care, NT…
Dona: Good night NT
Rush: See you in Egypt next Monday.

Dona: UHG
Dona: UGH
Dona: i love my staws
Dona: i’m hording them
Rush: Any way you spell it, Dona…
Rush: Me too.
angel & fox: Is this Zeno’s movie? The one Archimedes reviewed & said it was eternally getting halfway to the finish, but would never end?
angel & fox: Our polar bear & seals love the plastic straws.
Phil: Someday you too will be able to drink through a straw Rush
Louise: Since when did this chat turn into Philosophy 101?
Rush: We get a tour of the sewer here…
Louise: I hate the sound of running water…need a trip to then bathroom…
Dona: Isn’t Paris famous for it’s sewers?
Rush: If you get to paris, DO take the tour yourself, as it will give you an appreciation for these scenes.
Dona: I don’t remember why
angel & fox: Rush just wants to drink through a movie!
Mike n Rachel in DC: “Many strange crimes committed in the sewers of Paris.” One of the great Chan lines.
Rush: yes, Dona.
Godwinshelley2: And the Phantom of the Opera has the lake under the opera house
Rush: they have been prominant during the history of Paris.
angel & fox: Many brave farts lie asleep in the deep.
Phil: For me, the movie is in eternal freeze frame of when the the usually drunk artist comes into the room and demands to know what’s going on. I’ve been looking at that scene for the last 20 minutes.
Rush: Most recently, the French Underground used them to work against the German occupation.
Louise: Phil: now that is fascinating
Rush: Sorry, Phil!
Dona: That’s interesting
angel & fox: You think Phantom of the Arcade would have sold more tickets?
Dona: So sorry Phil
Phil: NO one feels sorrier for me than I do.
Godwinshelley2: The other Chan film in Paris also deals with forgery
Rush: Yes.

Rush: 5 more minutes…
Mike n Rachel in DC: Building up to climactic scene. About to trap murderer!
Rush: Xavier…
Rush: Enters the sewer…
Louise: We won’t tell you Phil and you will wait forever
Mike n Rachel in DC: Charlie!
hounder: watch out you’re about to get company
Rush: Shoots at the flashlight.
Godwinshelley2: Very few – round up the usual suspects and we tell them all about the crime – scenes in this one
angel & fox: Those drunk artists. Inscrutable! Artistes, really. I shall raise my bid.
Mike n Rachel in DC: *whew*
Rush: Chan’d okay (if I may use the hand gesture!)…
Rush: (Chan’s)
Mike n Rachel in DC: Anti-defamation League says it’s a hoax, Rush. You’re good. π
Rush: Police arrive…
Rush: TYSM, Mike.
Mike n Rachel in DC: https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/okay-hand-gesture
Phil: I feel like I’m stuck at the event horizon of a black hole. Dang, hate it when that happens.
angel & fox: Jazz hands, PLEASE. We don’t want to offend.
Mike n Rachel in DC: What? No Xavier?
Rush: Chan reveals the facts…
angel & fox: Zeno’s here. Says he’s waiting for the end, will sit with us. I told him we’d be leaving.
Rush: LaTouche!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Touche, La Touche!
Louise: WHAT! oh, sorry Phil…nothing happened
Phil: See M&R you learned something new and totally stupid tonight.
angel & fox: 20,000 leagues under the hole.
Rush: Corday and LaTouche.
Godwinshelley2: In Baltimore a local newsman decided to be a begger for a day on the street – the cop came up to him and asked what he was up to – for the same reason – his hands were too clean and neat
Mike n Rachel in DC: We are wiser now, Phil. π
Rush: teamed up to create Xavier.
Rush: Interesting, GS!
angel & fox: Fox & i follow M&R because they know how classy folks act.
Phil: Just older, but none the wiser.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Laverne? Where is Shirley?
Godwinshelley2: Mike I was thinking that the whole film
Rush: Please feel free to post at our Message Board….getting a bit sparse of late!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Dufresne? Wasn’t he in Shawshank Redemption?
Phil: If you want wisdom just listen to the lyrics of some Bob Seger songs. There’s wisdom to be found there.
