Matt1: Hello Rush!
Rush: How are you this evening?
Matt1: Very good, thnx….u?
Rush: Doing well, but Marie’s come down with something…hopefully not…You-Know-What.
Rush: Awaiting test results.
Matt1: She’s had the shot, no?
Rush: Yes.
Matt1: We keep a self test at home, just in case
Rush: Ah!
Zoe has joined this room
Rush: Hello, Zoe!
Rush: WELCOME!!!
Zoe: hello
Matt1: I hope it’s just a bug and she is feeling better soon
Matt1: Hello Zoe!
Rush: Yes…could be the old fashioned flu?
Matt1: Yes!
Matt1: With schools starting up, colds are usually frequent early on, I hear
Rush: Yes. Had one of those the first week!
Rush: Could’ve also been allergy related.
Matt1: I keep saying we’re over sterilized and when we go back to a “norm”, many people will catch things early on
Rush: She has no chest congestion.
Rush: I agree, Matt.
Matt1: Hoping for allergies!
Rush: I think we see that happening, actually.
Matt1: Yes
Rush: On another note…I am trying to see how WordPress works as a possibility for rebuilding this site.
Rush: My feeble brain is not attuned to compex Wed design!
Matt1: Ah, it’s an established site!
DanVenture has joined this room
Rush: Web
Rush: Hello, DV!
Matt1: Hello Dan!
Rush: Good evening to you!
DanVenture: Hurrah! I remembered and on time.
Matt1: Can you incorporate a chatroom there?
Rush: Yes, matt. Louise recommended it. it looks good, but I need to get my hands dirty, if you know what I mean!
DanVenture: Yes, Web design and WordPress can be a challenge.
Matt1: Meams, lots of work
Rush: Especially for me!
Rush: 🙂
Rush: Work is okay…as long as I know how to DO the work!
Matt1: lol, yes
DanVenture: And how did I NOT know it’s the 20th anniversary?!
DanVenture: Did I miss the party?
Rush: Unfortunately, all will need to be recreated from scratch!
Matt1: Yikes!
Rush: It’s ongoing, DV!
Rush: Yes.

mda19083: hello all
Matt1: We’ll be breaking out the virtual beverage cart at some point, Dan!
Matt1: Hello MDA!
Rush: So, this one will stay available, and the new one will be modest as it grows.
Rush: Thats all I can figure.
Rush: WELCOME, MDA!
mda19083: just got back from the library to pick up my copy of Shadows Over Chinatown for tonight’s viewing
Matt1: I wish I could help, but I’m afraid I’d do more harm than good
Rush: Good idea, MDA!
Rush: As this one is not available via the Internet.
Rush: I feel the same about ME, Matt!
Rush: I opened a test at WordPress and titled it “Charlie Chan Family.” I can get chatliechan.family as a domain.
Rush: (charlie)
mda19083: matt – are there adult beverages on the virtual beverage cart?
Matt1: It’s a bottomless cart of spirits,!

Godwinshelley2: Or even police?
mda19083: look up in the sky
Rich-Maine: Great Cesars ghost!
Rush: Birthday watch saved the day…and CC!
Godwinshelley2: Yes if only Jimmy Olsen had been in a Chan film, it would have been the lot of them
Rich-Maine: Pretty solid watch!
mda19083: good one rich
Rush: “We SURE WILL!”

Rush: This gentleman was last seen doing “The Dance of the Spirit” on TV!
Godwinshelley2: The television episode
Dona: My granddaughter is playing high school volleyball. The games have been tues and thurs now league play started and they changed it to Monday Wednesday. Depending on where the game is I may be late for the next month.
Rush: Crossing the Golden gate Bridge into SF…
Rush: The older lady we have seen TWICE before…
angel landini & foxx furr: That’s DIFFERENT from “The Last Dance of The Spirit On TV”. Whole different thing.
Rush: Two Oland films.
Rush: Yes, Angel!
mda19083: sherlock holmes will be on the case to help mrs hudson
Rush: AH!
Godwinshelley2: Back in college, in the dorm, there was a girl who pretended to be drunk and would go from doorknob to doorknob – when she found one unlocked, she would go in and steal stuff if the hall was empty – they tossed her out of school the first month
Rich-Maine: Woman on left on perry Mason
Rush: 🙂
Rush: She was in “The Black Camel” and had a small role in “CC in London.”
angel landini & foxx furr: I saw a FINE photo today—i THINK i screenshot it—of, let me see, Rathbone, Price, Lorre, & Karloff. Yes, THEM four. I will try to send the pic to our Chan Page on Fbook!
Dave: Ah, the wonders of bus travel….
Rush: They are traveling VERY light.
angel landini & foxx furr: I wonder of bus travel.
angel landini & foxx furr: Many lights make hands work.
Hounder: Nice angel
Rush: 🙂
angel landini & foxx furr: TYSM, H!
Rush: Joe must understand sign.
Rush: I love the sound of old typewriters.
Hounder: Yes rush
Dona: i used to type on those.
Dona: i didn’t think i was that old
Godwinshelley2: I occasionally consider taking my “portable” typewriter to a Starbucks
Dona: I like that idea GS
Rush: Me too…very slowly…
Hounder: I still have the IBM selection I got for high school graduation
Rush: GS…next week Svengoolie id=s showing “Dracula” with “added” music.
Godwinshelley2: I have the Smith Corona Clamshell that I got in highschool – got me through college
Hounder: Studio auto correct. Selectric
Rush: I saw it that way before…and I really didn’t like it.
Godwinshelley2: The added music is helpful – that film can really seem sloooowww
Rush: The silence in the original I feel carries the mood.
Rush: Yes, it can be slow…
Godwinshelley2: It does in theaters – with distractions at home, I think it doesn’t do so well
Dave: Wonder if it is available online in original format….
Rush: Also, I thought of another CC “monster actor”.
Rush: Keye Luke!
Rush: he was a main voice in “Godzilla.”
Dave: Right…
Godwinshelley2: Ah – nice
Rush: Hi, Dave!
Godwinshelley2: and we have Leo G Carroll for Trantula?
Rush: Missed your arrival…sorry!
Rush: How is your mother doing?
Dave: ok…no problem…
Rich-Maine has left this room
Dave: She is awaiting surgery number two, and recovering from initial hand surgery.
Rush: Happy to hear she’s recovering.
Godwinshelley2: Hand surgery must be so frustrating
Hounder: Hi dave
Rush: BB…I understand your concern!
Dave: Later ones Re more serious, so she is hopeful, but wary. Hospital space is dwindling, due to current rates…
Rich-Maine has joined this room
Godwinshelley2: Yes – they just stopped elective surgery in a local hospital in Lewes, DE
Dave: She needs to use a walker, so hands are needed…
Rush: Yes, dave.
Dona: WB Rich
Godwinshelley2: Maybe an “arm-rest” along the top of the walker to allow her to lean on it and direct it with her arm?
Hounder: There are several places I’ve heard that have stopped elective surgery
Rich-Maine: If I switch screens on iPad, it drops me!
Dave: I will be hopeful for her sake….
Dave: gs: good idea…
Rush: It sounds to me like your mother’s surgery is a little more than “elective” as she needs the hand to use a walker.
Godwinshelley2: I’ve seen them – the walker needs to be a little higher for that to work
Dave: hounder: correct…
mda19083: GS – headed to lewes on the ferry for some cycling next week
Rush: This scene must have been shot in a real lobby!
Hounder: Could you adapt those forearm bike handles to her walker for her?
Dave: rush: correct
Godwinshelley2: Nice – of course next week we have houseguests – or I might invite you over
Godwinshelley2: MDA – are you familiar with Lewes?
Dave: hounder: I need to take a good look at what she uses
Rush: Confucius might have liked chop suey!
mda19083: will be stopping at dogfish head brewing in rehobeth
Rich-Maine: Just tea….
Godwinshelley2: Ha – I can walk to Dogfish Head from my home
Rush: Yes?
Godwinshelley2: The just put in a bike trail from there to Lavinia rd
angel landini & foxx furr: Maybe cuz we don’t have tonight’s video here, my mind wanders & has tripped on Mr.Wong. I know America’s Sweetheart was destined for The Rock (1950s version) but why couldn’t she have fallen first, if only briefly, for the ur-Wong? Who would forget (or forgive) a union of Boris and Doris Karloff?
Godwinshelley2: What day will you be here?
mda19083: gs – we can have a virtual happy hour
angel landini & foxx furr: Every happy hour is virtual. Should be, anyway.
Rush: Angel: 🙂
Hounder: Might be a way to adapt them so she’d use her arms instead of hands?
Rush: Yes, Hounder.
mda19083: gs – any idea how far is it from the ferry slip to dofish in rehobeth by bike
Hounder: I’m getting good at creative thinking. Lol
angel landini & foxx furr: Now i’m thinking about arms & hands. Always something, here on Punchbowl Hill!
Dave: Hounder: yes…
mda19083: gs – not sure of the date – i am hoping for a sunny day
Rush: $50 then….$750ish today….
Godwinshelley2: There may be some rail trails
angel landini & foxx furr: Monorail, monorail, monorail!
Rich-Maine: How does he know her address?
Godwinshelley2: 6.1 miles and 28 minutes to bicycle to Dogfish Head from the ferry
Rush: Marlo Thomas.
angel landini & foxx furr: We are having the House Special Lo Mein here, not virtually but really, wayward noodles & juice!
Rush: Sounds GOOD, Angel!
Rush: Leftovers to Foxx?
mda19083: gs – thanks for the info – i can make that without breaking a sweat
Hounder: Sounds yummy angel. We did burgers
angel landini & foxx furr: Rush, fast as i can fling ’em!
angel landini & foxx furr: Boigahs!!
Rush: 🙂
Dave: angel: haha
Godwinshelley2: There are bicycle paths – I’m not that familiar with them – PLEASE stop by the Brimming Horn Meadery which is along a bicycle path east of Milton
Rush: And…better late than not at all…for angel…
Rush:
Godwinshelley2: The owner is my next door neighbor
angel landini & foxx furr: All for me, yes indeed!
Rush: “Man0-War”
Rush: Here come the disguises!
angel landini & foxx furr: Friend who is as big a Perry Mason fan as i, agrees Ham Burger hot-dogged it.
Rush: BB’s is the better one, IMHO!
Hounder: Lol@angel
Godwinshelley2: There is a horror film that Mantan is in – and his hair turns white in that film
ElronArrow has joined this room
Godwinshelley2: Hello Elron
ElronArrow: Hey all. how much did I miss?
Hounder: Welcome elron
Dona: Hi Elron
Godwinshelley2: 30:45
angel landini & foxx furr: A volume of The Wisdom of Birmingham Brown might be slim, but well-packed. Mmmmm, mmmmmmmm!
Godwinshelley2: 31:00
Rush: Hello, and WELCOME, EA!
Godwinshelley2: Elron we are about halfway
angel landini & foxx furr: Hello Arro!!
Rich-Maine: BB is KFC
angel landini & foxx furr: KFC?
Rush: Now I am pretty certain that this is your first time with us?
angel landini & foxx furr: BTW, greetings Rich-Maine! Pleased t’meetcha!
mda19083: GS – thanks for the recommendation – I will be there with one of my Chan buddies
ElronArrow: I am at 32:35
Godwinshelley2: Yes
Rush: So, yours is the Seat of Honor for the remainder of the evening, Elron!
mda19083: they are looking for the real mccoy
Hounder: Charlie is becoming a great b & e man
ElronArrow: why is that Rush?
Rush: 32:45
Rush: I don’t recall the name…sorry!
Godwinshelley2: 33:15
Rush: But my memory CAN fe feeble, admittedly!!!
angel landini & foxx furr: Elron, you may warm yourself in one of the foxfurs that dot our groaning board. No deposit—all stole.
Rush: 33:30
ElronArrow: I try to make it every week. it’s been a while since I pop in.
Rich-Maine: Colonel Saunders
Rush: well…in that case….WELCOME BACK!
Godwinshelley2: Ah Rich – you mean his disguise was as the Colonel
Hounder: Jimmy’s wearing a very short wide tie
Rush: Maybe the “arrow” part threw me!
ElronArrow: I am at 34:15
Godwinshelley2: 34:30
mda19083: colonel mustard?
Godwinshelley2: close enough
Rush: Elron I do know!
DanVenture: Thanks Rush/GS for the timing. (Took forever to find it online.)
Rush: 🙂
mda19083: cue the can
angel landini & foxx furr: COL.SAUNDERS!! How stew-w-w-w-w-pid offff me, as the Brits used to say in these movies! I feel a perfect cad!
Matt1: <tin can>
Godwinshelley2: The advantage of running the DVD – the time is very visible on my player
angel landini & foxx furr: If not a Cad, a Packard.
Rush: Mine too.
Rich-Maine: Hehe Angel…..chat is slowing our brains
ElronArrow: love it when they released it and the movies have all been cleared up.
Rush: YES!
Rush: It is GREAT to have them all commercially!
Rush: “…a balkin’ mule…”
angel landini & foxx furr: Chat is PROTECTING the brains. Sunspots aren’t fun spots, if a pun spot develops & sits stationary over a pressure system!
Godwinshelley2: Good to let the businesses know, we will pay for a good copy
ElronArrow: TCM was all set to play them all too then the issues happened and they stopped. so they just went to DVD. would have been nice if it was Blu-Ray to have more on a DVD.
angel landini & foxx furr: A D V E R T I S E M***
angel landini & foxx furr: M***
Dave: Was thinking about how many tapes I had over the years….beta…vhs…
Godwinshelley2: So many companies involved in ownership – it might be a nightmare to get a BluRay
Rush: Yes, Elron.
angel landini & foxx furr: M***
Dona: Is that tombstone?
Rush: Fox Movie Channel had a bid marathon started and suddenly halted it nearly 20 years ago now!
ElronArrow: we can wait for 50 years to go by again and it will be in public domain at that point unless they renew the license.
angel landini & foxx furr: Why won’t this system let me type “M followed by E followed by N followed by T”??
Rush: I think that fan demand resulted in different DVD sets until we finally had them all!
angel landini & foxx furr: Let’s wait 50 years. I have extra bedrooms.
Rush: Good arising from the bad.
Godwinshelley2: Except for the “lost” films
Dave: I recall getting several on American Movie Classics….
Rush: Yes, GS!
angel landini & foxx furr: The Lost Films are the best.
Rush: THAT would be the treat of trats!!!!
Rush: TREATS
Dona: I keep hoping the lost films will be found before i die
Dave: Me three….
Rush: Me FOUR!
ElronArrow: yeah Rush. They halted because of all the negative feedback they were getting about the actor not being Asian. Back then they had no choice.
Godwinshelley2: So Rush, did Mr Biggers write any horror films?
Rush: Yes, Elron!
ElronArrow: lost films?
angel landini & foxx furr: Was it Warner, or Republic, or both, that had big fire(s) & all our culture burnt to Polly Flinders?
Rush: Keye Luke never had anything but praise for the Chan actors.
angel landini & foxx furr: Keye was a class guy in every way. Multitalented, atop it all.
Rush: Today, actors have less and less room for scope and creativity!
ElronArrow: I know Rush. It was the actor from star trek that made a fuss about it. Guess he didn’t get paid enough.
Dave: One of the studios had a fire in New Jersey….
Rush: No one can play anything that they ain’t!
Rush: Yes, dave.
ElronArrow: oh wow. Didn’t know that Dave.
angel landini & foxx furr: Let’s leave that Trekaktor unnamed. He irritates me in a personal way every now & then, still.
Dave: Paramount?
angel landini & foxx furr: Panama?
Rush: Sometimes I think that that’s why 20th Century-Fox later made the “remakes” of the “lost” films.
ElronArrow: lol angel. that is why I didn’t name the person.
Rich-Maine: So are these just escorts or lots more?
angel landini & foxx furr: Thanks, EA. So many others we could ENJOY discussing.
ElronArrow: they just need to make house without a key. I have the 2nd reprint of the original book. It was hard to find. cost me $40 in the 90’s to get my hands on it.
Dona: Nice Elron
Rush: Nice, Elron!
Rush: 🙂
ElronArrow: that’s how much I love charlie chan and mr. moto.
mda19083: cue the can
Matt1: <tin can>
Rush: Matt…have we been tin-canning tonight?
Rich-Maine: Oh no
Rush: AH!
Rush: I missed the previous ones!
Matt1: Two!
Rush: wandering mind tonight!
Rush:
Rush:
Rush: There!
angel landini & foxx furr: Rush, how about a Fantasy Casting for some of our films? The brainwave only hit me just now, if i could pick the cast for, say, CC At The Olympics, i’d imagine Mae West, Cagney, Tallulah, & the Marxes—
Rush: TWO!
Matt1: Caught up!
angel landini & foxx furr: KLINK!
mda19083: bobble heads
Matt1: Original bobble heads?
angel landini & foxx furr: Rush CERTAINLY CAN CAN-CAN!!
ElronArrow: at least he caught her. lol
Rush: I would take the Marx Bros for the shipboard chases in “CC at the Race track”!
Rush: Break it…BUY it, Birmingham!
angel landini & foxx furr: Was it Mrs. Thatcher who said to GHWB, “Don’t go bobbly on us, George”?
Rush: Some improv here?
angel landini & foxx furr: ALWAYS!
Hounder: Fun house mirrors in oriental store
Dave: Seems like it…
angel landini & foxx furr: Never forget IMPROV spelt back’ards is VORPMI.
Rush: The poor shop owner! “Oh, these TOURISTS!!!”
Rush: Nice little cartoon “jump!” there by BB!
angel landini & foxx furr: Was it Gershwin or Porter who wrote, “I’d like to make a tour / of you”?
ElronArrow: Bela Lugosi is very push. evening without him being a vampire. lol
Rush: Yes!
ElronArrow: does anyone know why he wanted to play in Charlie Chan film?
angel landini & foxx furr: Lugosi was quite handsome, in his less-Cobainy, purely paregoric youth.
Rush: Elron, I think that they probably wanted HIM to be in “The Black camel.”
angel landini & foxx furr: Maybe to BE the Black Camel!
Rush: (wink)
angel landini & foxx furr: IN TENTS ACTING!
Dave: ouch…
angel landini & foxx furr: Stop me before i smirk again!
ElronArrow: I see Rush.
Rush: Or…perhaps Lugosi thought that the “Black Camel” role might help his career so he would not only be associated with monster roles?
Rush: Didn’t work, if so, i guess!
Hounder: Don’t do it. It’s a trap
Rush: 🙂
Rush: BB spilled the beans!
Dona: bad idea
ElronArrow: ok if someone get hit on the head they don’t wake up that fast. lol
Rush: Nice radio.
Rich-Maine: High-fidelity
Rush: Wire photo…We saw that demonstrated in “CC at the Opera.”
Dave: That was great!
Rush: That lady was the strong woman in “The Jade Mask.”
angel landini & foxx furr: CC was always on the edge. He had ship-to-shore working before there were ships, almost before there was shore.
Rich-Maine: Oh yes she was!
angel landini & foxx furr: I’ll say she was!
Rush: Note the position of that mirrow in the car BB is driving there.
Rich-Maine: Yeah very stright
angel landini & foxx furr: Nobody could sneak up on our BB.
Rush: Must have been so the studio light wouldn’t reflect, or something….
ElronArrow: If I had to choose a favorite CC I would pick Meeting at midnight.
Rush: That IS an unusual entry in the series, Elron!
Rush: I love that it has another Chan daughter in the assistant role!
ElronArrow: yeah it kept you on your toes.
Rush: Frances.
Rich-Maine: Good luck CC
Rush: The pickpocket helps here!
angel landini & foxx furr: Meeting at Midnight was originally titled Black Magic, was it not, Rush? I always liked the old guy with the round head who got played.
Rush: yes, Angel.
angel landini & foxx furr: You think his head was actually round?
angel landini & foxx furr: All around?
angel landini & foxx furr: No flat spots?
Rush: name changed because of the Orson Welles movie of the same name released a few years later.
ElronArrow: When you watch it on the DVD it says Black Magic with the Meeting at Midnight. Guess they couldn’t make up their minds.
Rush: he needed CC’s watch!
Rich-Maine: The film at the Malibu beach is fun
angel landini & foxx furr: He was good. I was sorry his buttons got luminous-painted & he got offed.
Rush: yes!
Rich-Maine: The can!
Hounder has left this room

Rush: CC uses some martial moves there.
Hounder has joined this room
Rush: Get him to the hospital!
Hounder: I love the pick pocket joins the good guys
Rush: WB…Hounder!
Rush: Good BB quote!
Hounder: Made it just in time for the end
angel landini & foxx furr: I just Wiki’d (i know, that’s cheating—call a cop, why doncha?) & learned the title was changed in 1949 or so “for television”. Y’know what ELSE i learned? OUR RUSH is a Wiki Source for the synopsis. Redirect comes HERE, to THIS VERY DETECTIVES’ SQUADTABLE!!!!!!!!
