02-03 18:35

Rush:

Good evening, Burt!

WELCOME!!

02-03 18:35

Burt:

Good evening!

02-03 18:35

Rush:

How are you doing this evening?

02-03 18:35

Burt:

Doing ok. How are you?

02-03 18:36

Rush:

Doing well, also, thank you.

Were you here last week?

02-03 18:36

Burt:

No, I am afraid I missed last week.

02-03 18:37

Rush:

As did I.

I had a training for my job that night.

02-03 18:38

Rush:

It seems everything went well.

02-03 18:38

Burt:

For me it is 5:30 when we start and sometimes it is hard to get home in time for this. I think I was at my mother’s last week.

02-03 18:39

Rush:

We had an unusual presentation last Monday…the re-creation of the “lost” film, “Charlie Chan’s Chance.”

Ah.

02-03 18:39

Burt:

I think I watched that not too long ago off the DVD.

02-03 18:39

Rush:

When i lived on the West Coast, it started at 4:30 for me.

Yes.

02-03 18:40

Rush:

That was produced to be one of the “extras” on that DVD.

Mike!

02-03 18:40

Mike in DC:

Good evening!

02-03 18:40

Rush:

Good evening!

02-03 18:40

Mike in DC:

Hello Burt!

02-03 18:40

Rush:

TYSM for the great help last Monday!

02-03 18:40

Mike in DC:

It was a blast, Rush.

02-03 18:41

Rush:

It looks like all went really well.

Again…THANK YOU…and GS.

02-03 18:41

Mike in DC:

Things seemed to go smoothly and it was fun having GS as wingman…er wingperson.

02-03 18:41

Rush:

02-03 18:42

Mike in DC:

I had never seen that reconstruction before…it was pretty good.

02-03 18:42

Rush:

We have two extras tonight as a warm-up…

The first is the trailer for tonight’s movie.

02-03 18:42

Burt:

I love the extras off those DVD sets.

02-03 18:43

Rush:

The next is a look at royal British manor homes.

Yes, Burt.  They did a great job on those, didn’t they?

02-03 18:43

Mike in DC:

When the upper classes were truly civilized

02-03 18:43

Rush:

Well, that’s probably so, Mike!

02-03 18:44

Mike in DC:

Fox hunts, white tie every evening…

02-03 18:44

Rush:

I felt that the video gives us a taste for the country manor that is the scene of most of tonight’s film!

Yes.

02-03 18:45

Rush:

We can wait about ten more minutes before sharing the extras tonight.

Maybe one or two more will arrive in time…

02-03 18:47

Rush:

How’s Rachel doing, Mike?

Did she enjoy the re-constructed film las week?

02-03 18:47

Mike in DC:

She did.  It was her first ever time in the chat as “Rachel in Ypsilanti”…first solo flight.  

02-03 18:48

Rush:

Yes!

02-03 18:48

Mike in DC:

The reconstruction was like one of those old time radio mysterys

02-03 18:48

Rush:

Yes, it did have that “feel.”

02-03 18:48

Burt:

I love those old time radio shows. Wish there were more Charlie Chan episodes.

02-03 18:49

Mike in DC:

Do you know if the photos in the “film” were from the original movie?

Agreed, Burt.

02-03 18:49

Rush:

I would like to see the “lost” films done by voice actors in an audio format.

02-03 18:49

Burt:

That would be great!

02-03 18:50

Mike in DC:

I was thinking that if AI gets better, perhaps it would be possible to recreate a “Werner Oland” voice and some AI visual elements to recreate the film.

02-03 18:50

Rush:

Yes, the photos ued were publicity stills.  Those are also used for each of the “lost” films that we have re-constructed for this site.

02-03 18:51

Rush:

They can all be read thru here.

I think that ours were actually the “inspiration” for the “extra” you watched last week.

02-03 18:51

Burt:

Three of the lost film scripts have been published in book forms.

02-03 18:52

Rush:

Yes, Burt.  They were ‘pirated” from this site.  You can view them for free here!

I hate fox hunts

02-03 20:18

Rush:

As do I.

02-03 20:18

Mike in DC:

fun to cheer for the fox

but not fun to be the fox

02-03 20:18

Rush:

I don’t even know if they happen anymore.

02-03 20:18

Louise:

I had a friend who did one in the 1980s. You would think by the it was banned.

02-03 20:18

Nothere:

Fox hunts are fine. You just need to change the ending. And give him a noice treat at the end. Nope fox hunts are no longer allowed.

02-03 20:18

Mike in DC:

Maybe at the mansions of Anne, Crown Princess

02-03 20:19

Rush:

That was more than 40 years ago…hopefully by now….

02-03 20:19

Rush:

Yes, mike!

I think they just ride horses at her manors…

No foxes!

02-03 20:19

Mike in DC:

Fox hunting with hounds was banned in Scotland by 2002, and in England and Wales by 2005. However, the sport had already gained popularity in other parts of the world, and it remains popular in many countries today.

Despite bans in the UK, the controversy around fox hunting remains a lively debate. Many continue to fox hunt, arguing that the sport should be preserved as a British tradition. Others find ways to continue the tradition while respecting the ban. In many countries, fox hunting clubs have found alternative ways to enjoy the hunt without killing the fox.

02-03 20:19

Nothere:

Sure. Use a gun. No one will notice.

02-03 20:20

Rush:

Thank you, Mike…I guess that settles it…some still happen.

02-03 20:20

Nothere:

Yeah it’s the killing part thats bad. Chasing him is fine. Killing not so much.

02-03 20:20

Rush:

02-03 20:21

Mike in DC:

The first “I know the murderer note.”  It never goes well.

02-03 20:21

02-03 20:24

Nothere:

Pay no attention to what I’ve been saying these past few minutes. No spoliers for your 20th viewing of movie.

02-03 20:24

Burt:

02-03 20:30

tenman:

Though vegetarian for almost 30 years, I’ve never gottena. taste for tofu

02-03 20:30

Rush:

Depends on how it is cooked.

Actually, I like it raw in salads, believe it or not.

02-03 20:30

Louise:

Tofu best dry fried in a hot pan

02-03 20:31

Rush:

There you go.

02-03 20:31
