Our MONDAY Evening Chat/Film Viewing: "Charlie Chan in London"
Please join us we return to our regular schedule for our Monday Evening Chat and Film Viewing as we gather together to watch and “Charlie Chan in London,” starring Warner Oland. With only 65 hours remaining, can Charlie Chan find the identity of the real killer in order to save the life of a man wrongly condemned for murder?
We begin, as usual, at 8:00 p.m., EASTERN time with arrivals and greetings and a trip to Virginia’s virtual beverage cart. Then, thirty minutes later, we begin running our personal copies of this very worthy film, which allows us to watch it together as our evening’s discussion progresses.
Our Chat Room is located HERE at our Charlie Chan Family Home. Please use any of the “Chat Room” links to join us.
Even if you do not happen to have a copy of our featured movie, please do join us, as you will NOT be left out of our ongoing chat and festivities. Also, as is our custom, newcomers are offered the seat of honor at our humble table.
Let’s get together for another fun Monday evening as we join “Charlie Chan in London.”
Re: Our MONDAY Evening Chat/Film Viewing: "Charlie Chan in London"
Am guessing the subject of showing the movies on line on Mondays to facilitate discussion has probably already been discussed. Are copyright laws in effect or are the Chan flicks in eminent domain? I ask because my VCR/DVD player and PC are far distant from each other in my house. Just wonderin'?
You bring up an interesting point. All Charlie Chan films are protected by copyright and, thus, it would probably be incorrect to consider showing any over the Internet. However, the manner in which we share the viewing experience - on an individual basis - is not an issue, of course.
My DVD and VHS players are in our home and my computer is located in our detached office/library. I purchased a portable DVD player a couple years ago to solve this problem. The prices of these machines continue to, I believe, making this a possible option for yourself and others in a similar boat. Some PCs can play DVDs, too. I do not know what it would require to add this feature to a computer, though.
