He was my first Charlie Chan when I was a Teenager
04-17 18:36
Matt:
Always a sad film for me to watch last week
04-17 18:37
Rush:
Yes, Mike!
Usually, Oland “wins” by a “nose.”
04-17 18:37
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Us too, Matt. Same with “The Trap” (but that’s not as good a movie)
04-17 18:37
Rush:
Yes, Duane! That’s usually how it works for people!
04-17 18:38
Matt:
Yes Mike, that film I just feel bad for Toler because you can see he is ill
04-17 18:38
Rush:
Yes.
04-17 18:39
Rush:
I see that Angel was able to log-in as a “guest” now.
So now we see Foxx!
04-17 18:39
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Yes…but it’s so nice to know some of the backstory, so the actors are real people
04-17 18:39
Rush:
He is probably away from his computer at the moment.
yes, Mike.
04-17 18:41
Rush:
We should probably begin our extras fairly soon.

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Hi Diane! A little trouble breaking in! I believe we left some clues.
04-17 18:43
Rush:
I couldn’t read the text on the image, sorry!
04-17 18:44
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Foxx’s furr (the rented one) is somewhat the worse for wear, and will need some taxonomic nurse for repair.
04-17 18:44
Duane:
Hello Foxx
04-17 18:44
Rush:
Ah ha!
04-17 18:45

mda19083:

term
04-17 18:58
Rush:
I guess a “newspaper decision” was maybe judged by sports writers?
04-17 18:59
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
So Slapsie was like the constant oppo-losers the Globetrotters would “face”?
04-17 18:59
Mike n Rachel in DC:
back in the day, they would poll reporters if a fight ended in a “no decision”
04-17 18:59
mda19083:
ah!
04-17 18:59
Mike n Rachel in DC:

04-17 19:07
Rush:
When I was a kid in L.A. in the mid-‘sixties, there as a local fighter named “Windmill” Wight.
04-17 19:07
Matt:
Wonder how he got that nickname?
04-17 19:07
Rush:
He was very unorthodox and, sometimes would, due to his long reach, punch an opponent from behind his back!
04-17 19:08
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Wight? I bet he could steal his opponents’ souls
04-17 19:08
Rush:
His long reach.
I don’t think he was THAT “good,” Mike!
04-17 19:08

Is a broadcasting course about how to broadcast? (the technical side) or more about content?

04-17 19:27
Matt:
Bifffffffffffffffff
04-17 19:27

Lee lapsing into Chinese when he gets excited
04-17 19:29
Rush:
When watching this film, imaging Oland in his parts.
04-17 19:29
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
MnR: of course WE know he COULD!
04-17 19:29
Rush:
Especially when he uses the aphorisms.
04-17 19:30
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Why don’t pencil mustaches come back?
MOOSE MALLOY!
04-17 19:30
Rush:
Mr. Moto should step in for the poor guy!
04-17 19:31
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Would have been fun to watch them filming all of those close up shots on various characters
04-17 19:31
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:

04-17 19:36

The lawyer from “Broadway”
AND he was a reporter in “Race Track”
04-17 19:36
Louise:
Can-guy, a new career name
04-17 19:37
Rush:
04-17 19:37
Matt:
My new career path?
04-17 19:37
Mike n Rachel in DC:
You’ve got talent, kid.
04-17 19:38
Rush:
That seat would cost “only” $240 today.
04-17 19:38
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of good paying jobs, Matt
04-17 19:39
Matt:

Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Mr Moto about to swab the glove?
04-17 19:47
Rich Maine:

04-17 19:47
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Many similarities, oh so, thank you so much!
04-17 19:47
Rush:
Yes, to clean it for the next test. Or, so the gloves can be returned to the sporting goods store!
04-17 19:48
Mike n Rachel in DC:
hm…that doesn’t fit, Mr. Moto
04-17 19:48
Rush:
This isn’t a case of petty theft!
04-17 19:49
Rush:
“Ameron”?
04-17 19:49
Matt:
I would have bet on Tetragene
04-17 19:49
Mike n Rachel in DC:
armor-all?
04-17 19:49
Rich Maine:
yes matt far more deadly
04-17 19:50
mda19083:
amerol – they should have used tetragene
Rich!
04-17 19:50
Mike n Rachel in DC:
idiot cop
04-17 19:50
mda19083:

04-17 19:51
Rush:
YES!
Could’ve killed them!
04-17 19:51
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Judge: “How fast were they going?” Cop: “I don’t know. Their tires blew out.”
04-17 19:51
Rush:
They won’t get far on those flat tires.
04-17 19:51
Louise:
Biff
04-17 19:51
Rush:

04-17 19:52

The current “heavyweight champeen”!

04-17 19:52
hounder:

04-17 19:54
Rush:
NY plates on the car.
Proof of location.
04-17 19:54
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Huber is very theatrical with his acting
04-17 19:55
Rush:
I know a COUPLE of guys named Howard!
Yes, Mike!
04-17 19:55
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Lorre is a nice foil…very placid
04-17 19:56
Rush:
He is.
04-17 19:56
Louise:
Bang! Zing!
04-17 19:56
Rush:
NO CHOCOLATE to a dog!
04-17 19:56
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
BIFF!
04-17 19:57
Rich Maine:

04-17 19:57
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
VERY bad example here!
04-17 19:58
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Dogwise.
What a doyty ratt.
04-17 19:58
Rush:
04-17 19:58
Mike n Rachel in DC:
There are apparently limits to Moto’s encyclopedic knowledge…
04-17 19:58
Rush:
It seems to be limited to the realm of humans.
04-17 19:59
Matt:
Perfect Chan line
04-17 19:59
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Everyone knows him as “Turtle”.
04-17 19:59
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Yes, Matt.
Rush…Rachel sez that Chan would have known about the dog. Chan > Moto
04-17 19:59
Rich Maine:
exactly what pop would have done
04-17 19:59
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Ta-ta, Tut-tell! Keep them boys in the jug!
04-17 19:59
Rush:
Can we see Charlie Chan saying something similar about Lee remaining in the lockup?
04-17 20:00
Mike n Rachel in DC:
white fox fur???
04-17 20:00
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
St.Louis? He must be 1500 years old by now!
04-17 20:00
Rush:
This guy look familiar?
I think he was the “cotton salesman” in “:Dangerous Money”!
04-17 20:00
Rich Maine:
mayor on andy griffith
04-17 20:01
Mike n Rachel in DC:
good eye, Rush

TYSM…Matt…
04-17 20:01
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
You mean Cigar Guy, Rush?
04-17 20:01
Mike n Rachel in DC:
he looked a little like the hotel cop in Maltese Falcon
04-17 20:01
Rush:
Hmmm.
04-17 20:01
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Dee ee dubble dee Ded, Jed!
04-17 20:02
Rush:
Yes.
04-17 20:02
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Oh so?
04-17 20:03
Rush:
A Chanism there.
04-17 20:03
Mike n Rachel in DC:

04-17 20:03
Rush:
Yes.
04-17 20:03

“Tonight…at the ringside.”
04-17 20:04
Rich Maine:
I pull strings….
04-17 20:04
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
BIFF!
04-17 20:04
Rush:
A line relating to the original title of this movie.
04-17 20:05
Mike n Rachel in DC:
film noir lives
04-17 20:05
Rush:
As seen in class earlier!
04-17 20:05
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
And death is punishable by kidnaping!
04-17 20:06
Rush:
True, Mike!
04-17 20:06
hounder:
pretty kitty
04-17 20:06
Rush:
Angel:
04-17 20:06
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Hello Kitty!
04-17 20:07
Rush:
And a kitty that came to the rescue, Hounder!
Another quick Chanism there.
04-17 20:07
hounder:
so smart kitty as well
04-17 20:07
Rich Maine:
its like the gun in the clock tower
04-17 20:07
Rush:
Yes, Rich!
04-17 20:07
Mike n Rachel in DC:
ooooh Rich. Good catch.
04-17 20:07
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
This is one of the most ill-conceived gadget-murders we’ve seen in all our 39 years!
04-17 20:07
Rush:
Good catch indeed!
04-17 20:08
Mike n Rachel in DC:
That clock seems very non-precise for something that has to be carefully timed.
04-17 20:08
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
“Pop used to leave me in jail . . . “
04-17 20:08
Rush:
Punch him so he will recall!
04-17 20:08
hounder:
my thought as well m n r
04-17 20:08
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
That murder’s a clue to the gun!
04-17 20:08
Rush:
Sheesh!!!
04-17 20:09
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
WHOMP!
04-17 20:09
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Not the sharpest knife in the drawer again.
04-17 20:10
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Ta-ta, Tuttle!
04-17 20:10
Rush:
Another case of Lee (or Pop) being a lot smarter that a local cop!
04-17 20:10
Louise:
That was tricky!
04-17 20:11
Rush:
YES!
04-17 20:11
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Father knows best?
04-17 20:11
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Doyty ratt.
04-17 20:12
Rush:
04-17 20:12
Rich Maine:
marry clark kent instead
04-17 20:12
Rush:
We shall see if he knows best a little later!
04-17 20:12
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Good advice, Rich!!
Plaid was a plague in the late ’30s.
04-17 20:13
Rush:
Fur versus plaid.
04-17 20:13
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Fur is not nice
…but plaid is sort of ugly
04-17 20:14
Rush:
Poor driver!
04-17 20:14
Rich Maine:
plaid is ok in BW but never in color
04-17 20:14
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
MnR: Foxx thanks you.
04-17 20:14
Rush:
Tick, tick, tick….
04-17 20:14
Godwinshelley:
The ladies’ plaids seem to be so big, not subtle like a finer plaid would give
04-17 20:15
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Rachel does not wear fur. Ever.
(nor does Mike, for that matter)
04-17 20:15
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Announcer looks A LEETLE like Mr. PETERMAN!!
04-17 20:15
Rush:
“Hey! Who put this litter box in my corner????”
04-17 20:15
Mike n Rachel in DC:
“I did, and why are you stepping in the cat poo?”
04-17 20:15
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
MnR: ,
04-17 20:16
Rush:
“Let’s GO!”
04-17 20:16
Louise:
Why do boxing refs wear bowties?
04-17 20:16
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
MC probably wears lifts in his shoes.
04-17 20:17
Rush:
A precursor to “Ltet’s get ready to RUMBLE!”
Did you see that minute hand move then?
04-17 20:17
Mike n Rachel in DC:
He’s going to need a big comeback…
saved by the bell!
04-17 20:17
Rush:
Helped by the bell.
YES.
04-17 20:17
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
He’s going to need a good estate planner.
04-17 20:17
Mike n Rachel in DC:
That doesn’t happen nowadays
04-17 20:18
Rush:
Another Chan regular there!
Yes, Mike!
04-17 20:18
Mike n Rachel in DC:
“You’re doing great. Next round spit another tooth at him.”
04-17 20:18
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
A cigar is rarely just a cigar.
04-17 20:18
Rush:
“DOWN IN FRONT!”
04-17 20:18
Matt:
Ouch!
04-17 20:19
Mike n Rachel in DC:
He looks like Windmill Wight!
04-17 20:19
Rush:
04-17 20:19
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Two guys who ain’t gonna see the fight!
04-17 20:20
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Just like the headlines, but with people this time
all those rounds passed in 5 minutes?
04-17 20:21
Rush:
04-17 20:22
Rush:
“YOU…are murderer.”
04-17 20:22
Rich Maine:
you are murderer!
04-17 20:22
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
What a DOPE!!
04-17 20:22

04-17 20:23
Louise:
Nice view from the shooter’s back
04-17 20:23
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
This finale always reminds me of Charles Laughton’s empty-shaft plummet at the end of The Big Clock.
04-17 20:23
Rush:
Yes.
04-17 20:23
Rich Maine:

04-17 20:24
Mike n Rachel in DC:
Needs to work on the bulletproof thing. Take more lessons with Kent.
04-17 20:24
Rush:
Not this time….
04-17 20:24
Angel Santiago Saltamontes:
Riggs needs to take some druggs.
04-17 20:24
hounder:

Rush:
