08-10 18:46

Been busy working on home projects.
08-10 18:47
Matt:
School started today here in FL
08-10 18:47
Rush:
Yow!
08-10 18:47
Matt:
Always a week or two earlier than in PA
08-10 18:48
Rush:
I would guess that the students get out by mid-May?
08-10 18:48
Matt:
Early/Mid May, yes…..depending on our “snow” days (tropical storms)
08-10 18:49
Rush:
AH!
08-10 18:50
Rush:
I just took a look at the response to my question about “your five favorite CC films” ay our Message Board…and there are already a bunch of responses!
I am going with your idea.
08-10 18:50
Matt:
I noticed that too. I’m down to my top “10”
08-10 18:51
Rush:
So, maybe our September Poll can have the top vote=getters go head-to-head.
08-10 18:51
Matt:
Tough decisons
08-10 18:51
Rush:
Yes!
I will add mine soon.
08-10 18:51
Matt:
I may have to post my top 5 with 5 honorable mentions?
08-10 18:52
Rush:
We will see how thw others have gone about it, and then…?
08-10 18:52
Matt:
Ok…..I’ll give it a day or two to figure out
08-10 18:53
Rush:
I would be very surprised if a Monogram film makes the eventual cut.
Me too!
08-10 18:53
Matt:
I’m looking at my list now and I have my top 3, but after that…..the other 7 are too close to call
08-10 18:54
Rush:
“Sleep on it…”
08-10 18:54
Matt:
I’m sure after tonight there will be several others posting
08-10 18:55
Rush:
Hopefully!
We can mention nit tonight!
08-10 18:55
Matt:
Yes……several times!
08-10 18:55
Rush:
YES!
08-10 18:56
Rush:
I was actually able to find something of a related “extra” for tonight.
08-10 18:57

Charlie’s ANGEL:
Whatever else they may involve, life masks are made with Vaseline. When i was 12, our school class did them. I still have mine. You had to have breathing straws in place, and grease all over face before your partner would plop the plaster, which then got hot hot hott.
08-10 19:06
Rush:
So happy you are enjoying the site, David! A true labor of love.

David from Duluth MN First Time Visitor:
Hello, Rush, Godwinshelley, Matt. (I didn’t know about Monogram Fog; it’s been thirty years since I had my film noir class in college. — thank you!)
08-10 19:20
Rush:
(Cough!)
08-10 19:20
Godwinshelley:
Oh – a film noir class – that sounds fun – I did the on-line class TCM did around 2014
08-10 19:20
Rich in Maine:
so if you want to take any items out, you get gassed …..hmmm
08-10 19:21
Rush:
Again, David, it is so great that you found us…never “too late”!
Our Chats began back in 2000.
08-10 19:21
Godwinshelley:
Monogram would cover a multitude of set-dressing sins with a lot of fog.
08-10 19:21
Charlie’s ANGEL:
PAINFUL nausea.
08-10 19:21
Austinchanfan:
did you find the group from the chan FB page?
08-10 19:22

What can I say Rich working here is a gas.
08-10 19:22

08-10 19:24
Rush:
08-10 19:25
David from Duluth MN First Time Visitor:
I was googling because I bought the skinny little “Library of American Comics” volume of Andriola’s Chan comics. I wanted to know more because I used to watch these movies on UHF with my grandpa in the 1980s in Milwaukee (Channel 18, I think, if there is anyone from Milwaukee here).
Up popped the incredible archive that is your website.
08-10 19:25
Charlie’s ANGEL:
Andriola is top-drawer.
08-10 19:25
Rush:
AH!
08-10 19:25
Godwinshelley:
Rush has put in some real time on his website.
08-10 19:25
Rush:
Interesting how connections can be made!
08-10 19:25
Nothere:
For a supposedly secure place they sure ask who is there a lot.
08-10 19:25
Matt:
BB!
08-10 19:26
Austinchanfan:

08-10 19:26

lol@nt
08-10 19:53
Godwinshelley:
David – it is never a good sign to say to Chan … “And the killer is …” because it usually means a knife or gunshot in your direction
08-10 19:53
Nothere:
You see David our old chat room had sound effects., They occasionally make a reaopperance. Though now we have to type them out 
08-10 19:53
Rich in Maine:
also never sit by an open window!
08-10 19:53
Godwinshelley:
especially in Chan’s ground floor office with open windows
08-10 19:53
Rich in Maine:
or his office GS
08-10 19:53
Rush:
David, in case you are wondering why Matt has added an image of a can being kicked, this goes back to a time when we had a chat platform that included sound effects! There was no sound of a bucket being kicked, but here WAS one of a can! When that platform shut down, we went to a new one, but unfortunately there were no sound effects! So…what we do now id use a visual to convey the same meaning!\
08-10 19:54
David from Duluth MN First Time Visitor:
And so you’ve cycled through all of them at least ten times.
Amazing.
I remember those scenes — the “and the killer is” scenes.
08-10 19:54
Rush:
Yes, David!
08-10 19:54
Godwinshelley:
There are the famous “lights suddenly goes out” scenes too
08-10 19:54
Rush:
Yes!

David from Duluth MN First Time Visitor:
(Don’t explain too much to me — I’m always weighing my personal love of media and my desire to write about it (I’m a professor at a small university in Duluth).
08-10 19:55

very cool david
08-10 19:55

Monogram is noted for using interesting “gimicks” such as the alarm bell with the light bulb.

08-10 19:56

It is interesting to see the technology of the day, such as the use of this Dictaphone.
08-10 19:56
David from Duluth MN First Time Visitor:
(If you tell me all the secrets, my professor brain will take over from my childhood brain.)
I wrote some articles about fans of professional wrestling, fans of Doctor Who, fans of Critical Role, that no one reads (academic-ese).
08-10 19:56
Godwinshelley:
David – do you attend any fan-film festivals – like Monster Bash in PA?
08-10 19:57
Rush:
Dictaphone– A trademark used for a machine that records and reproduces dictation for transcription.
Charlie Chan: “Recording Dictaphone.”

08-10 19:57
David from Duluth MN First Time Visitor:
I subscribe to Monster Memories/Scary Monsters, so I know about. them, but I’ve never been. (I attend Doctor Who and Steampunk conventions, but those are in Minnesota and Wisconsin.)
08-10 19:57
Rush:
AH!
08-10 19:58
Rush:
08-10 19:58
Godwinshelley:
I recommend Monster Bash – it’s more like “Abbott & Costello Meets Frankenstein” and a lot less like “Saw”. I take my Aunt to it. Everybody smiles.

08-10 20:01
Godwinshelley:
Growing up in Indiana – we were wrestling fans of “Dick the Bruiser” and “Pretty Boy Bobby Henin”

As a kid in L.A. I watched wrestling every Wednesday night on KTLA, Channel 5, with none other than Richard “Dick” Lane as announcer. He was in “Charlie Chan in Honolulu.”
08-10 20:03

Voice recognition technology must have been VERY new in 1944!
08-10 20:05
Godwinshelley:
It’s fun hearing Mantan talk of Zombies as he was in the 1941 “King of the Zombies” – he was the best part of that film

08-10 20:06
David from Duluth MN First Time Visitor:
I watched wrestling when I was younger, AustinChanFan, but to be honest, what I write about, a lot, as a professor, is the passion that people bring to wrestling. (Someone took Terry Funk’
08-10 20:06
David from Duluth MN First Time Visitor:

CC almost opened the desk that triggers the door!
08-10 20:08
David from Duluth MN First Time Visitor:
Godwinshelley — No, actually — I mostly love the conventions — people in fancy dress of characters that are of their own creation (not trademarked movie properties).
08-10 20:09
Nothere:
And the Secret Servie will act will all due speed to the random complaint about a top secret goverment experiment.
