Rush has joined this room
Rush: Good evening!
Matt1: Hello Rush!
Rush: hi, Matt and Dave!
Dave: Missed last week with some family distractions…
Dave: Evening, Rush!
Rush: I almost lost track of the time! I was watching “Stagecoach” on TCM.
Rush: A Chan actor was in it…
Dave: A fun film to watch…
Matt1: Ahhhh
Rush: Chris-Pin Martin.
Rush: From “Panama”
Rush: Yes! Great film!
Dave: Wasn’t John Carridine supposed to be in an early film?
Rush: Yes, including “Charlie Chan at Treasure Island”!
Dave: Wow! Can you imagine?
Rush: We DO see his picture on Rhadini’s office wall, though in the background!
Matt1: Interesting
Dave: Do you know what role he was set to play?
Rush:
Rush: No, we don’t know the role.
Matt1: Perhaps there was a “file” for him?
Rush: YES!
Matt1: We’ll never know now, thanks to Charlie
Rush: Or, maybe he was set to be “The Turk”!
Dave: When Bogdonavich died, I viewed a revised version of the Fold film he did. It was quite good.
Rush: I have an impromptu “extra” about the 1936 Olympics. only about 5 minutes long.
Rush: Yes, Dave?
angelympic+kwikfoxrun has joined this room
Dave: It was available online, but took some searching to find.
Matt1: Hello A & F!
Rush: Angel…and Fox!
Rush: Good evening!
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Hello Dave, hello Matt & Rush!!
Dave: angel/fox! In the house…
Rush: “Summertime for Hitler and the Olympics…” (To take a cue from “The Producers.”
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Don’t you boys move those easy chairs, we box seats for a living!
Rush: Yes, Angel!
Rush: And beware of kidnappers!
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: We’ll be back for The Games, but just know a General Burkhalter asked us to adjust the timing clocks for some of the field events. Have your pilsner and knackwurst!! Mmmm mmmm!
Rush: 🙂
Rush: Well…we do have some good stock footage from that Olympics tonight in our movie!
Rush: In a few minutes I can post a link to a mini-documentary.
Rush: It looks like it has interviews made in the early 1970s from the glimpse I have had…
Rush: Anyone interested?
Matt1: Of course!
Rush: Ok…here it is…
Rush: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNKlxcqLKcM
Rush: let’s take a look!
Rush: No countdown.
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Rush, we’re using 1930s hardwire setups in the gantry here (i’m directly over Daladier’s head, close enough to spit; Foxx is above that Simpson woman, who is WEARING a 5-fox stole—just imagine!): we can’t link. Is there a TITLE LINE on your vid?
Rush: AH!
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: That Duke is shaming his bailiwick or whatever it is. A LOUSY king he’ll make. UGH!
Rush: Interesting?
Matt1: Very interesting….Thnx for sharing
Dave: He is still on his trip?
Matt1: Good setup for tonight for sure

Rush: There!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Jessie definitely proved that Aryans were superior. /s
mda19083: thanks for the links – will check these out after tonight’s feature film
Mike n Rachel in DC: very nice video, Rush
Matt1: Thnx Rush
Rush: Pretty interesting, right?
Rush: I don’t recall hearing of this friendship.
Rush: Nice footage in all three mini-documentaries.
Matt1: The friendship story is moving
Rush: Yes!
Matt1: Wonder how Hitler took to that?
Mike n Rachel in DC: I’ve heard it mentioned…like “Owens got some pointers from a teammate” but it was great to see the person behind it.
Rush: The German athlete was really brave to show that kindness toward Owens!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Yes he was.
mda19083: only caught a few of the Olympic events this last round – monobob, curling and big air – I do not believe that any of those events were on the bill in 1936
Rush: Yes, Mike!
Rush: Not back then, probably!
Mike n Rachel in DC: There is a whole story just in that one moment. I’d bet that Hitler never knew about the conversation or friendship…
Rush: In the Winter Games, of course…
Dave: exactly, m/r…
Mike n Rachel in DC: There was hockey at the 36 winter olympics. 🙂
Rush: Those were held at Garmisch-Partenkirchen 1936.
Dave: guzenheit…

mda19083: see dick run – run dick run
Rush: Sawdust pit.
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Must have cost H.Bruce Humberstone dozens of dollars to buy rights to Jesse’s film!!
Rush: And, the poles were made of bamboo then, I think.
Dave: Sawdust double
Mike n Rachel in DC: If this weren’t a family show there could be a lot of pole/Dick jokes here.
Rush: maybe, Angel!
Mike n Rachel in DC: I think you had to be pretty brave to be a pole vaulter then, Rush
Rush:
mda19083: mike – good thing we are all adults here
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: MnR, they WEREN’T going UNTHOUGHT here!!

angelympic+kwikfoxrun: How do you do WHAT?
Rush: 🙂
Rush: Now, the triangulation we see here would not work
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: We don’t have enough Gestapo.
Mike n Rachel in DC: Yes. This looks like 5th grade geometry class
mda19083: north by northwest – good movie
Rush: Triangulation should not mean a literal triangle, but three lines intersecting at a point.
Rush: Yes, MDA! 🙂
Mike n Rachel in DC: This is how Hitchcock figured out the title MDA
mda19083: car 54 where are you
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: North by Northwest with Cary Grant.

Mike n Rachel in DC: Lee is brave
Dave: nervous pull on fingers from Chan…

Rush has joined this room
Rush: Good evening!
Matt1: Hello Rush!
Rush: hi, Matt and Dave!
Dave: Missed last week with some family distractions…
Dave: Evening, Rush!
Rush: I almost lost track of the time! I was watching “Stagecoach” on TCM.
Rush: A Chan actor was in it…
Dave: A fun film to watch…
Matt1: Ahhhh
Rush: Chris-Pin Martin.
Rush: From “Panama”
Rush: Yes! Great film!
Dave: Wasn’t John Carridine supposed to be in an early film?
Rush: Yes, including “Charlie Chan at Treasure Island”!
Dave: Wow! Can you imagine?
Rush: We DO see his picture on Rhadini’s office wall, though in the background!
Matt1: Interesting
Dave: Do you know what role he was set to play?
Rush:
Rush: No, we don’t know the role.
Matt1: Perhaps there was a “file” for him?
Rush: YES!
Matt1: We’ll never know now, thanks to Charlie
Rush: Or, maybe he was set to be “The Turk”!
Dave: When Bogdonavich died, I viewed a revised version of the Fold film he did. It was quite good.
Rush: I have an impromptu “extra” about the 1936 Olympics. only about 5 minutes long.
Rush: Yes, Dave?
angelympic+kwikfoxrun has joined this room
Dave: It was available online, but took some searching to find.
Matt1: Hello A & F!
Rush: Angel…and Fox!
Rush: Good evening!
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Hello Dave, hello Matt & Rush!!
Dave: angel/fox! In the house…
Rush: “Summertime for Hitler and the Olympics…” (To take a cue from “The Producers.”
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Don’t you boys move those easy chairs, we box seats for a living!
Rush: Yes, Angel!
Rush: And beware of kidnappers!
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: We’ll be back for The Games, but just know a General Burkhalter asked us to adjust the timing clocks for some of the field events. Have your pilsner and knackwurst!! Mmmm mmmm!
Rush: 🙂
Rush: Well…we do have some good stock footage from that Olympics tonight in our movie!
Rush: In a few minutes I can post a link to a mini-documentary.
Rush: It looks like it has interviews made in the early 1970s from the glimpse I have had…
Rush: Anyone interested?
Matt1: Of course!
Rush: Ok…here it is…
Rush: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNKlxcqLKcM
Rush: let’s take a look!
Rush: No countdown.
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Rush, we’re using 1930s hardwire setups in the gantry here (i’m directly over Daladier’s head, close enough to spit; Foxx is above that Simpson woman, who is WEARING a 5-fox stole—just imagine!): we can’t link. Is there a TITLE LINE on your vid?
Rush: AH!
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: That Duke is shaming his bailiwick or whatever it is. A LOUSY king he’ll make. UGH!
Rush: Interesting?
Matt1: Very interesting….Thnx for sharing
Dave: He is still on his trip?
Matt1: Good setup for tonight for sure
Dave: Liked viewing the film!
Rush: The next one is only a couple of minutes. It’s about Jesse Owens…

Dave: Watching the Jesse Owens vid that Rush posted…

Matt1: I think Jesse had his running shoes stolen before the race, no?
Rush: e have been watching a couple of 1936 Olympics shorts.
Dave: Both were good appetizers for this evening…
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: JessEE! JessEE!!

mda19083: thanks for the links – will check these out after tonight’s feature film
Mike n Rachel in DC: very nice video, Rush
Matt1: Thnx Rush
Rush: Pretty interesting, right?
Rush: I don’t recall hearing of this friendship.
Rush: Nice footage in all three mini-documentaries.
Matt1: The friendship story is moving
Rush: Yes!
Matt1: Wonder how Hitler took to that?
Mike n Rachel in DC: I’ve heard it mentioned…like “Owens got some pointers from a teammate” but it was great to see the person behind it.
Rush: The German athlete was really brave to show that kindness toward Owens!
Mike n Rachel in DC: Yes he was.
mda19083: only caught a few of the Olympic events this last round – monobob, curling and big air – I do not believe that any of those events were on the bill in 1936
Rush: Yes, Mike!
Rush: Not back then, probably!
Mike n Rachel in DC: There is a whole story just in that one moment. I’d bet that Hitler never knew about the conversation or friendship…
Rush: In the Winter Games, of course…
Dave: exactly, m/r…
Mike n Rachel in DC: There was hockey at the 36 winter olympics. 🙂
Rush: Those were held at Garmisch-Partenkirchen 1936.
Dave: guzenheit…

Dona: I agree MnR
Rush: The “Hopkins Ship.”
Mike n Rachel in DC: Hey…this is the first drone!

Rich Maine: An adventuress! And a fillibuster!
angelympic+kwikfoxrun: Lee looks ready for ANY competition.
