Hello? Anyone home>
02-13 18:34
Rush:
Hello, Mike!
WELCOME!
How are you doing this evening?
02-13 18:36
Rush:
I see that Rachel is still away?
02-13 18:38
Rush:
fab4fred….welcome!
Still here, Mike?
02-13 18:39
Mike in DC:
Whoops…running around doing errands. 
02-13 18:40
Rush:
AH!
02-13 18:40
Mike in DC:
How are you this evening, Rush?
02-13 18:40
Rush:
I see we have a guest who is a Beatles fan, perhaps.
02-13 18:40
Mike in DC:
Yes
02-13 18:41
Rush:
He or she left…!
02-13 18:41
Mike in DC:
Perhaps they’ll return…
02-13 18:41
Rush:
I think that Beatles cover I posted in response to Angel may have attracted the person!
02-13 18:42
Mike in DC:
I hope I didn’t scare them away.
02-13 18:42
Rush:
I don’t think so!
Not their “cup of tea” here, probably!
02-13 18:42
Mike in DC:
Oh. Hello fab4fred!
02-13 18:43
Rush:
Matt is on a cruise for a couple of weeks.
Fab has returned!
Welcome!
02-13 18:43
Mike in DC:
I remember that Matt was going to be gone. And Rachel is away again.
02-13 18:44
Rush:
I hope the image of the Beatles single cover didn’t confuse you!
02-13 18:44
Rush:
MDA!
Good evening to you!
02-13 18:44

02-13 18:45
Mike in DC:
I thought for sure the Eagles had them.
02-13 18:45
Rush:
I had actually picked the Eagles 30-27.
02-13 18:45
mda19083:
good game – too close for comfort
02-13 18:45
Rush:
It was a good game, though. Back and forth.
02-13 18:45
mda19083:
we needed those 3 points
02-13 18:46
Rush:
Yes.
02-13 18:46
Mike in DC:
That fumble that turned into a KC touchdown…sigh
02-13 18:46
Rush:
Yes.
02-13 18:47
Rush:
Well, those were probably the two best matched teams in SB history.
02-13 18:47
fab4fred:
Good evening everyone.
02-13 18:47
Mike in DC:
That is true, Rush. So often the games are lopsided. For a change it was a great game.
Hi fab4fred!
02-13 18:47
Rush:
I actually went to the first one in 1967 with my dad.
02-13 18:48
Mike in DC:
OH MY GOSH…You’re a part of history, Rush!
02-13 18:48

In that way, I guess so.

02-13 19:38

02-13 19:38
Godwinshelley:
So these folks are living off the grant money to gather the antiquities?
02-13 19:38
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

Uh oh!!!

02-13 19:51

Snowshoes will shave you bad.

02-13 19:57
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Leaving AND leavening!
02-13 19:57
Nothere:
Wensday is a good day to Chan. But for some odd reason I always seem to do it on Mondays
02-13 19:57

Not too badly I hope Louise.
02-13 19:58

02-13 20:00
Rush:
Of course, we have held considerably more than a thousand Monday Chats since the first one.
02-13 20:00
Godwinshelley:
That you can keep and find those records after you moved is most amazing to me
02-13 20:00
Louise:
Barry does dope…or is a dope
02-13 20:00
mda19083:

02-13 20:00
Rush:
At the beginning, i kept notes.
02-13 20:00
Louise:
Wow, Rush, amazing
02-13 20:00
hounder:
thats a lot of movies rush
02-13 20:01
Rush:
i have relied on Message Board information since 2004.
02-13 20:01
Godwinshelley:
But to find them after all that packing and unpacking makes me bow to you
02-13 20:01
Rush:
02-13 20:01
hounder:
remember when we did movies out of order and id whatever ones sounded good for the nest month?
02-13 20:01
Duane:
Thank you so much Rush for all you do
02-13 20:02

Excellent filing

Sillies you doubt Ruah master of Chan history? I’d be surprised if he didn’t have lists. What he knows about us, oh brother.
Rush even
02-13 20:03
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Maybe he shoulda tried EDIBLES.
02-13 20:03
Rush:
I was unable to retrieve our Yahoo Groups messages. Those would have been very helpful, but I think I have been able tio get a pretty good record of it all.
02-13 20:03
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Call the Rolling Stones. The Police only do festivals.
02-13 20:03
Rush:
F4F…you may wonder why the “kicking the can.”
02-13 20:04
mda19083:
the span of a man’s life
02-13 20:04
Godwinshelley:
How many Chan films had
warner made by this film
02-13 20:04
hounder:
this is one of my favorite chanisms. from life to death is reach of man.
02-13 20:04
Rush:
Back when we had a Chat Room with sound effects, we used the “tin can” sounde to signal a death, as there was no “bucket” sound.
02-13 20:05
fab4fred:
Very good. Thanks.
02-13 20:05
Rush:
So, when we lost that Chat Room, we continued the ‘tradition” other ways!
02-13 20:05
Louise:
ah the sound effects
02-13 20:05
Nothere:
Thwap.
02-13 20:05
Rush:
now, we will soon hear the music that was used at the title opening of this movie.
02-13 20:05

Rush:
Here it is.
02-13 20:06
mda19083:
10!
02-13 20:06
Rush:
I think thet the original title opening has been lost.
02-13 20:06
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
De Nile IS a ribber in Egypt!
02-13 20:07
Rush:
This was used to ‘retool” the opening of the movie.
02-13 20:07
Duane:
I think this was number 8 for him
02-13 20:07
Rush:
The title card looks out of place, as well.
02-13 20:07
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
YOWZA!
02-13 20:07
Rush:
And, we will also note a rather abrupt ending as well.
02-13 20:07
Nothere:
Good news water lead out of tomb. Bad news crocidlllies hungry.
02-13 20:08

Was this another film that was lost until a copy was found someplace
02-13 20:08
mda19083:
treasure!
02-13 20:08
Rush:
Hm.. Clues indicate that Prof. arnold was also a car salesman.
02-13 20:08
mda19083:
02-13 20:08
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
They only think they’re crocodiles. Their papers say alligators.
02-13 20:09
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
YT is totally fouling us here. An ad EVERY TWO MINUTES, LITERALLY.
02-13 20:09
Rush:
Chan picks up a possible clue.
02-13 20:09
Godwinshelley:

Duane:
I am on YouTube and the one I am watching has had no ads
02-13 20:10
Nothere:
Well I think I’ve accouneted for the commericals and were at 54 25
02-13 20:10
Rush:
very good, Duane!
02-13 20:10
Godwinshelley:
Do you pay to be ad-free
02-13 20:11
Rush:
Music heard in “Shanghai next week.
02-13 20:11
Duane:
No I do not
02-13 20:11
Louise:
I went back to my DVDs because of the ads
02-13 20:11
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Duane, which post-er is the one you’re watching? 20th ad is now running.
02-13 20:11
Rush:
Yes.
Odd scene here.
02-13 20:11
hounder:
oh my angel!
02-13 20:11
Rush:
Was Chan reenacting as vividly as possible?
02-13 20:11
Louise:
Is the violin the only musical instrument played in Chan films?
02-13 20:12
Godwinshelley:
Don’t you think if it was your violin, you would notice if someone plugged it?
piano?
02-13 20:12
Duane:
Public Domain Cinema
02-13 20:12
Rush:
I believe that is right, Louise.
02-13 20:12
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Not kidding, 20th. I take a penny from a pile here whenever an ad interrupts; 21 ads so far.
02-13 20:12
Rush:
Yes, GS.
02-13 20:12
Godwinshelley:
Aren’t there orchestral moments at cafes
02-13 20:12
Rush:
Maybe Barry was playing it in the dark.
02-13 20:13
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
22 now.
02-13 20:13
Nothere:
I’ve only had a few. You must have angered the Youtube gods Angel.
02-13 20:13
Rush:
Interesting flame.
02-13 20:13
Nothere:
Rita Heyworth is watching you.
02-13 20:13
Godwinshelley:
Maybe the more you watch Youtube, the more it figures out your “ad preference” and sends you more
02-13 20:14
Rush:
Nice fez.
02-13 20:14
Dona:
I don’t like it when they are mean to Charlie
02-13 20:14
Louise:
agreed Dona
02-13 20:14
Rush:
Yes.
02-13 20:14
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
I must have made somebody mad! First i put on Pathé version, now “ARF”, doesn’t make a difference. An ad every 2 minutes, & time falls behind cuz each ad delays escape.
Dona, those meanies will answer to Osiris.
02-13 20:15
Dona:
Good!
02-13 20:15
Rush:
BUT, he always overcomes that with his clear thinking that puts those who would denigrate him in their proper place!
02-13 20:15
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Say, TETRAGENE? You know it’s our favorite!
02-13 20:16
Louise:
yes Angel
02-13 20:16
Nothere:
Its what he gets for being so mean to Kashimo.
02-13 20:16
mda19083:
perhaps he didn’t inhale?
02-13 20:16
Nothere:
What about monocaine?
02-13 20:16
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Thanks, Louise! You can come to our laboratory anytime!
02-13 20:16
Rush:
POP!!!
02-13 20:17
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Uh-oh.
02-13 20:17
fab4fred:
This trope reminds of a Mr. Wong movie involving glass spheres and the sound of a police siren.
02-13 20:17
Rush:
YES!
02-13 20:18
Godwinshelley:
Wonder if this was a popular method used in the pulps of the time
02-13 20:18
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
F4F, you are ringing a bell here!
TYSM
02-13 20:18
Rush:
Also, in the lost “Charlie Chan’s Chance,” poison gas in glass containers played a role in murder!
02-13 20:18
Godwinshelley:
They reused it in a later Chan film
02-13 20:18
Nothere:
Used twice in Chan. The fim your thinking of Fab is I think Docks of San Fransico.
02-13 20:18
Rush:
Yes, GS!
02-13 20:18
fab4fred:
I love mystery movies from this era.
02-13 20:19
Dona:
Me too!
02-13 20:19
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
GS, was it Murder Over New Jork?
02-13 20:19
mda19083:
TETRAGENE!!!
02-13 20:19
Godwinshelley:
Isn’t that one about poisoned coffee
02-13 20:19
Nothere:
No that one the poison glass rolled onto the floor and broke.
02-13 20:19
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
This era was undoubtedly the best. Forever 40s is my ideal, though this is a bit early.
02-13 20:19
Louise:
I was just in New Jork
02-13 20:20
hounder:
i also love thr radio dramas from this era.
02-13 20:20
Rush:
Yes. The way the victims were killed in “Docks of New Orleans” was very close to the way the poison was released in this film.
02-13 20:20
Nothere:
For something fun hopefullly Louise.
02-13 20:20
Rush:
Hounder, We can revive those radio shows as :extras” is so desirec.
02-13 20:20
Godwinshelley:
How can they all look so cool in that Egyptian heat while wearing buttoned up suits
02-13 20:21
mda19083:
I like Dr Racine’s white bucs
02-13 20:21
Mike in DC:
It’s the cool doors, GS
02-13 20:21
Rush:
Angel, i agree.
02-13 20:21
Dona:
I have a cd that i’m listining to with lots of the old radio mysteries. It good.
02-13 20:21
Nothere:
Didn’t you use to have links tio the Chan radio show Rush?
02-13 20:21
mda19083:
Ed Foo returns
02-13 20:21
Rush:
Yes, NT.
We could begin with the “Landini” murder.
02-13 20:22
mda19083:
the old missing lancet ploy
02-13 20:22
Rush:
Based on “Keeper of the Keys.”
02-13 20:22
Godwinshelley:
Open windows do not usually bode well in Chan films
02-13 20:22
Rush:
True, GS!
02-13 20:22
Godwinshelley:
ESPECIALLY if it’s on the ground floor
02-13 20:22
Rush:
YES!
02-13 20:22
Dona:
yes
02-13 20:23
Rush:
Note the change in expression….
02-13 20:23
mda19083:
you’d think they would have learned by now
02-13 20:23
Godwinshelley:
And never sit with your back to the open window while in Chan’s office
02-13 20:23
Rush:
Here.
02-13 20:23
Louise:
Amen GS
02-13 20:23
Rush:
True again, GS!
02-13 20:24
Rush:
Chan waited almost too long!
02-13 20:24
Nothere:
I always use the Wax Musuem trick. Haven’t been stabbed by a thrown knife yet.
02-13 20:24
mda19083:
reach for it
02-13 20:24
Rush:
Snowshoes definitely helped Chan here.
02-13 20:25
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
TYSM!!!!
02-13 20:26
Godwinshelley:
Hat bump
02-13 20:26
Rush:
02-13 20:26
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Snowshoe deserved a sequel.
02-13 20:26
Rush:
Note Snowshoes’ final line…
02-13 20:27
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Rush, you have the finely tuned ear. So sad.
02-13 20:27
Louise:
But does he go with him?
02-13 20:27
Dona:
<WAHOO>
02-13 20:27
Rush:
“I guess you’re right, but I’m going with you…”
02-13 20:27
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Abrupt ending indeed!
