Hello Matt

02-27 18:27

Rush:

Are you still traveling?

02-27 18:28

Matt:

No, just got back yesterday.

02-27 18:28

Rush:

02-27 18:28

Rush:

It’s great to have our Gong and Can man back!

02-27 18:29

Matt:

Very nice & relaxing, thnx…..Wanted to pop in here the last two weeks, but both were formal evenings/dinners

02-27 18:29

Matt:

Great to be back!

02-27 18:29

Rush:

A ‘gimme” choice there!

Yes!  It is always good to be back home, isn’t it?

02-27 18:30

Matt:

Yes….now I have to lose 10 pounds, lol

02-27 18:30

Rush:

Familiar surroundings.

Yes!  A normal situation!

02-27 18:31

Matt:

Everything go well the last two weeks?

02-27 18:31

Rush:

With the way you are so active, it won’t take long!

02-27 18:31

Matt:

One day at a time, but getting harder and harder as we get older

02-27 18:31

Rush:

Yes, thank you! And we made some improvements with the “Comics” page.

Louise added readable Charlie Chan comic books.

02-27 18:32

Matt:

Outstanding, I’ll take a peak tomorrow

02-27 18:32

Matt:

How about the two Chan movies that were offered on my stateroom TV? I was SO shocked

02-27 18:33

Rush:

They are pretty good stories…pre-comics code, so the implications are a bit graphic at times!

YES! Great about the movies!

02-27 18:33

Rush:

Maybe we can thank them for including those!

02-27 18:33

Matt:

It was like finding a “lost” Chan

Good point!

02-27 18:34

Rush:

Was one of them “Charlie Chan’s Murder Cruise”?  

02-27 18:34

Matt:

lol, NO!

02-27 18:34

Rush:

02-27 18:34

Matt:

Opera & Museum

02-27 18:34

Rush:

Two good ones!

maybe a suggestion for “Charlie Chan at Treasure Island”!

02-27 18:35

Matt:

That would be a good one, especially since they have a port in San Fran

02-27 18:36

Rush:

Ah!  Perfect!

02-27 18:37

Matt:

Have you been able to achieve the chats easily now?

Moreso than the last chatroom?

02-27 18:37

Rush:

Yes!  I am able to copy everything, including any graphics!

02-27 18:37

Rush:

02-27 18:39

Matt:

wb, Rachel!

02-27 18:39

Rush:

We only have one extra tonight, which runs about ten minutes.

02-27 18:39

Duane:

Welcome home Rachel

02-27 18:40

Rush:

So, we can wait a little before we share it.

02-27 18:41

Mike n Rachel in DC:

The Winchester Mystery House…can’t wait to see the lowdown

02-27 18:41

Matt:

Sounds interesting

02-27 18:41

Rush:

It is about the Winchester House in San Jose, near to San Francisco.  A mysterious house.

02-27 18:42

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Is that the inspiration for the Lowell house?

02-27 18:42

Rush:

Maybe vaguely.

Secret passages, etc.

02-27 18:42

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Aha

02-27 18:43

Matt:

Baxter?

02-27 18:43

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Tonight’s film is a pretty prosaic story…but it’s one of the very best supporting casts, I think

02-27 18:43

Rush:

Agreed, Mike.

02-27 18:43

Mike n Rachel in DC:

This one and Treasure Island…

02-27 18:44

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Rush, do you know why #1 son fades in and out of these earlier films?

02-27 18:44

Rush:

And, we see that Baxter is very much like Birmingham in mannerisms, etc.!

02-27 18:44

Duane:

Rush which one is are extra.there are many on YouTube

02-27 18:44

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Was it a studio/contract thing

02-27 18:44

Rush:

Mike, It has to have been due to Keye Luke having other picture commitments.

02-27 18:45

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Oh.  It doesn’t seem to be plot driven necessarily

02-27 18:45

Rush:

Duane: “Labyrinth of Lies: The Truth Behind the Winchester Mystery House”

We can run it in 5 minutes?

02-27 18:46

Rush:

The mysterious Winchester House.

02-27 19:00

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Some similarities to the Lowell estate 

02-27 19:00

Rush:

Possibly an influence on the mysterious residence of tonight!

yes, mike.

02-27 19:00

mda19083:

did she have a creepy caretaker?

02-27 19:01

Mike n Rachel in DC:

And a clock that told the wrong time?

02-27 19:01

Rush:

And, as Mrs. Winchester died in 1922, there was more than a decade for tales and rumors to grow, and then possibly influence the writers of tonight’s movie!

That seems like a really dicey way to commit a murder

02-27 19:25

Rich Maine:

He was calling out for Ulrich?

02-27 19:26

Rush:

Yes, Mike!

02-27 19:26

Rush:

Better a blowgun dart or silenced pistol.

02-27 19:26

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

Mother is a passive-aggressive manipulating so & so.

02-27 19:26

Rich Maine:

Lucifer appears

02-27 19:26

Rush:

Yes!

02-27 19:26

Rich Maine:

yes she is Angel!

02-27 19:27

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Baxter is an early version of Birmingham Brown

02-27 19:27

Rush:

yes, Mike!

02-27 19:27

Rich Maine:

yes Mike, a precursor of BB

02-27 19:28

Dona:

I like him

02-27 19:28

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

Mother’s salvation at the picture’s end is remarkably measured.

02-27 19:28

Dona:

makes me laugh

02-27 19:28

Rush:

As do I, Dona!

yes.

02-27 19:29

Rich Maine:

she impersonates Margaret Dumont

02-27 19:29

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Was that Lucifer the Cat?

02-27 19:29

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

Mr.Bean!

Rush:

02-27 19:29

mda19083:

love the bean!

02-27 19:30

Rush:

Lucifer was possibly played by Puzzums the cat.

02-27 19:30

Mike n Rachel in DC:

He’s a dirty old man, staring at the daughter like that…

02-27 19:31

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

Grumpgrumpgrump

02-27 19:31

Rush:

02-27 19:31

Rich Maine:

yes he is Mike

02-27 19:31

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Lucifer, admirably portrayed by Beezlebub

02-27 19:31

Rush:

Chan winces at the hearty handshake!

02-27 19:32

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

CC would rather be on an isthmus, getting a panama canal.

What a fop.

02-27 19:32

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Makes one wonder where “Professor” Bowen got his title

02-27 19:32

Phil:

You’d think a wealthy family would have matching chairs.

02-27 19:32

Rich Maine:

medium rare Carlotta

02-27 19:32

Rush:

Coming up at some point, Angel!

02-27 19:32

mda19083:

no ghost in the closet tonight – only Allen Colby

02-27 19:32

Mike n Rachel in DC:

namaste

02-27 19:33

Phil:

Rush you have your eyes open

02-27 19:33

Rush:

A Medium is just right, between a Small and a Large…

02-27 19:33

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

Phil, you are QUITE right.  Probably they went to IKEA.

02-27 19:33

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Hey!  Who’s grabbing my…

02-27 19:33

Rush:

Spirit music….

02-27 19:33

Rich Maine:

no touching legs

02-27 19:33

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Eve Cairo > Carlotta

02-27 19:33

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

Meditatemeditatemeditate

02-27 19:34

Phil:

Cue the can

02-27 19:34

Rush:

Question: WHO held and dropped Colby’s body?

02-27 19:34

Matt:

Alan has seen some better days

02-27 19:34

Rush:

TYSM, Matt…

02-27 19:34

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

Matt: 

02-27 19:34

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Bat Matt?

02-27 19:34

Rich Maine:

Murdered ! Touch NOTHING

02-27 19:34

Matt:

Shhhhh

02-27 19:34

Phil:

Hi Matt, didn’t see you on the list.

02-27 19:35

Rush:

The knife was left in his back!

02-27 19:35

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Amazingly bloodless for a knife in the heart

02-27 19:35

Rush:

It passed through the ribs hitting the heart.

02-27 19:35

Rich Maine:

yes no blood at all

02-27 19:36

mda19083:

$$$$$$$$ talks

02-27 19:37

Phil:

Could be covid

02-27 19:37

mda19083:

try some quinine

02-27 19:37

Rush:

Wasn’t invented yet!

02-27 19:37

hounder:

02-27 19:38

Rush:

Quinine was, though.

02-27 19:38

Rich Maine:

or drink coca cola and get buzzed

02-27 19:38

Rush:

“No…you are STANDING…”

02-27 19:38

Phil:

gin & tonics had something to do with quinine

02-27 19:38

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Quinine…or cocaine…both medicines of the day.

02-27 19:38

Rich Maine:

02-27 19:39

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Attempted malaria prevention, Phil

02-27 19:39

Rush:

Note the ctak decoration above the door.

02-27 19:39

Phil:

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition

02-27 19:39

Rush:

crab

02-27 19:39

Phil:

Yes M&R

02-27 19:39

mda19083:

a round of G & T’s for everyone

02-27 19:39

Mike n Rachel in DC:

I’ll drink to that, MDA

02-27 19:39

Rush:

“Signatures”

02-27 19:40

mda19083:

off to the beverage cart

02-27 19:40

Mike n Rachel in DC:

A son reference by Charlie…

02-27 19:40

Rush:

Yes, MDA.

02-27 19:40

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

RATulations, you mean!

02-27 19:40

Rush:

And, yes, Mike.

02-27 19:41

Rush:

Yes, Angel.

02-27 19:41

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

I don’t even own my own fingerprints.

02-27 19:41

Rich Maine:

I KNOW how I like my toast

02-27 19:41

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

TYSM

02-27 19:41

hounder:

baxter looks less than enthusiastic about spending the night.

02-27 19:41

Rush:

Poor Baxter…

02-27 19:41

Phil:

You think you think.  I think.

02-27 19:41

Mike n Rachel in DC:

LOVE that line, Rich

02-27 19:42

Rich Maine:

yup mike 

02-27 19:42

Rush:

Yes, Phil!  Great line!

02-27 19:42

mda19083:

one of the best

02-27 19:42

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

TOAST?  Ain’t you gettin’ a little personal, lady?

02-27 19:44

Mike n Rachel in DC:

A toast! — we should do a Chan like a Rocky Horror Picture Show cult showing

02-27 19:44

mda19083:

she’s back

02-27 19:44

Rich Maine:

no furs tonite

02-27 19:44

mda19083:

yes Mike!

02-27 19:44

Phil:

Well…she told him.

02-27 19:44

Rush:

The “line”!

02-27 19:44

Rich Maine:

throwing burnt toast at my screen

You THINK you think…I THINK

02-27 19:46

Matt:

Trickery

02-27 19:47

Rush:

YES!

02-27 19:48

Rush:

“Role of dead man require very little acting.”

02-27 19:48

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Charlie uses that line with #2 son later

02-27 19:48

mda19083:

out damn spot

02-27 19:50

mda19083:

more trickery

02-27 19:50

Phil:

How in the WORLD did the charlatan clairvoyants have time to install all this stuff?

02-27 19:50

Rich Maine:

yes phil pretty fancy stuff

02-27 19:51

Rush:

Nice tackle!

02-27 19:51

Phil:

Charlie’s carrying a revolver tonight.  Usually, it’s a semi-auto

02-27 19:51

Rich Maine:

whenever a new will is mentioned, murder appears

02-27 19:51

mda19083:

new will is bad idea in a Chan flick

02-27 19:51

Mike n Rachel in DC:

He had a .45 in Shanghai

02-27 19:51

Rush:

Phil…great question!  it seems that they were not working alone.

02-27 19:51

Mike n Rachel in DC:

This is true, MDA

02-27 19:52

Rush:

Again…someone had to hold up Colby’s body at that seance.

02-27 19:52

Phil:

It could have been inflated with helium and just floated there.

02-27 19:52

Rich Maine:

yes rush, never really explained

02-27 19:52

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Must have been Ullrich.  Or someone not mentioned in the credits.

02-27 19:53

Rush:

I believe Ulrich would be the prime “suspect” in that regard!

02-27 19:53

mda19083:

maybe it was Rigger Mortise

02-27 19:55

Rich Maine:

a queer old bird ….

02-27 19:55

Rush:

Very.

02-27 19:55

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Just making sure that EVERYONE in the cast is a prime suspect

02-27 19:55

Phil:

I’ll bet he smells bad.

02-27 19:56

mda19083:

the eighth drawf – GRUMPY

02-27 19:57

Phil:

A waterproof flashlight

02-27 19:57

Rich Maine:

CC is always prepared

02-27 19:57

Mike n Rachel in DC:

“Insignificant offspring of searchlight”

02-27 19:57

mda19083:

you go first Charlie

02-27 19:58

Rush:

02-27 19:58

hounder:

love that line m n r

02-27 19:58

Mike n Rachel in DC:

That’s another of our favs, hounder

02-27 19:58

Phil:

Kind of like a hobbit house

02-27 19:59

Rich Maine:

or hansel and gretal cottage

02-27 19:59

Dona:

yes

02-27 19:59

Mike n Rachel in DC:

I’m thinking of the hermit cottage in Bride of Frankenstein

02-27 19:59

Dona:

lol

02-27 19:59

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Friend?  Friend?

02-27 20:00

Phil:

I often find myself not knowing what I’m doing.

02-27 20:00

mda19083:

hard to believe Phil

02-27 20:01

Rush:

Mike: yes!

02-27 20:01

Dona:

He is not friendly

02-27 20:01

Rush:

Not even the slightest!

02-27 20:01

Dona:

I don’t like this part

02-27 20:01

Phil:

And he smells bad.

02-27 20:01

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Friend:  good.  Fire: no good

02-27 20:01

mda19083:

good shot Ulrich

02-27 20:01

Rush:

Mike: 

02-27 20:02

mda19083:

the Professor is a bad apple

don’t touch that dial

02-27 20:02

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Professors are always psycho bad guys in films…. 

02-27 20:02

Rush:

Zap!!!

02-27 20:02

mda19083:

Professor Moriarty

02-27 20:02

Mike n Rachel in DC:

don’t touch …

02-27 20:02

Matt:

02-27 20:02

Mike n Rachel in DC:

too late

02-27 20:03

hounder:

sorry. mom is calling tonight so i’m in and out.

02-27 20:03

Rich Maine:

Shocking!

02-27 20:03

Rush:

That was some jolt!

02-27 20:03

Dona:

It’s good to have you here Hounder.

02-27 20:03

mda19083:

get some brandy

02-27 20:03

Mike n Rachel in DC:

wb hounder

02-27 20:04

Rush:

“Live and learn…”

I have done plenty of that!

02-27 20:04

Mike n Rachel in DC:

blow-off…old slang, yes?

02-27 20:05

Rush:

Yes.

02-27 20:05

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Live and learn:  both good things to do, Rush.  

02-27 20:06

Rush:

We see how Ulrich felt about the whole family, including Allan.

02-27 20:07

Rush:

Pre-dinner Ouija session…

02-27 20:07

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Y.O.U. B.E.T.T.E.R.  D.U.C.K.

02-27 20:07

Rich Maine:

a whole hour at the board!

02-27 20:07

Rush:

YES!

02-27 20:08

Phil:

How did she not get hit?

02-27 20:08

mda19083:

there she goes

02-27 20:08

Rich Maine:

and she’s down !

02-27 20:08

Rush:

What was the Ouija pointing to before the shot?

02-27 20:09

mda19083:

Dick!

02-27 20:10

Mike n Rachel in DC:

This actor seems familiar

02-27 20:10

Rush:

Chan has one ot those moments of looking bad…

Chan gives her a hint, here…

02-27 20:11

hounder:

Charlie doesn’t mind taking the emotional hit for the betterment of the woman in the case.

He did it in egypt as well.

02-27 20:11

mda19083:

well said Hounder

02-27 20:11

Dona:

Yes!

02-27 20:11

Rich Maine:

Baxter in the tree

02-27 20:11

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Charlie is an “eyes on the prize” sort of guy.  Stays focused on getting the bad guy

02-27 20:12

Rush:

For those who have been to San Francisco, you may feel that the “atmosphere” has been captured in this film.

02-27 20:12

mda19083:

the smoking gun

02-27 20:13

Mike n Rachel in DC:

again, no blood

02-27 20:13

Dona:

I agree Rush

02-27 20:13

Rich Maine:

CC has another tool

02-27 20:13

Rush:

Yes.

02-27 20:14

mda19083:

to the tower!

02-27 20:14

Rush:

Baxter is down.

02-27 20:14

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Find the hunchback!

02-27 20:14

Rush:

02-27 20:14

mda19083:

maybe just a hunch

02-27 20:14

Dona:

talking about his his son’s again

02-27 20:15

Rush:

Yes, Dona!

They are kept “in the picture.”

02-27 20:16

Rush:

I always note that there was an “expert marksman” used in the making of this picture!

02-27 20:16

Mike n Rachel in DC:

This is, in fact, very dangerous Charlie

02-27 20:16

Phil:

Whatever fingerprints were on that case are gone now.

02-27 20:16

Rich Maine:

when the clock strikes ten……

02-27 20:16

Rush:

The following is a REAL rifle shot!

02-27 20:16

Dona:

lol

02-27 20:17

Rush:

If you freeze the frames, you will see how very real that shot was!

02-27 20:17

mda19083:

baxter deserves combat pay

02-27 20:17

Mike n Rachel in DC:

Hope Baxter was paid extra for that stunt

02-27 20:17

Rush:

YES!

02-27 20:18

Rush:

Bowen is at least an accessory to this murder!

02-27 20:19

Rush:

This is a part of “Charlie Chan’s SECRET”

02-27 20:19

Rich Maine:

gangs all here

02-27 20:20

Rush:

Yep.

02-27 20:20

Mike n Rachel in DC:

This worked in Black Camel…

02-27 20:20

mda19083:

02-27 20:20

Rush:

Yes it did!

02-27 20:20

02-27 20:22

mda19083:

quinine anyone?

02-27 20:22

Rush:

Later, please!

02-27 20:22

Mike n Rachel in DC:

some joker should put some Dixieland jazz on their transmitting radio…liven up the seances

02-27 20:22

Rush:

Seance in progress….

yes, Mike!

02-27 20:22

mda19083:

she’s back!

02-27 20:23

Rush:

Seven years bad luck on top of a murder rap!

02-27 20:23

Baxter helps ala BB!

02-27 20:25
