Ya know, I don’t think it’s ‘ok’ to post pictures of Charlie Chan anymore. He became un-personned several years ago, I guess because he’s Chinese. I wish he would be rehabilitated. I used to love his movies.

I think he has been rehabilitated. If I receive any complaints, I'll back off. That said, I think his wisdom (all quotes are from Charlie Chan movies) has much to recommended it on this thread or as Charlie Chan would say:

“The wise elephant does not seek to ape the butterfly.”

When I am not lurking on the Q thread the last few days I watch old Charlie Chan movies on my roku TV among other oldie movies and early TV shows. It is a distraction from all the crazy stuff in the world.

This Q forum is the best place on the internet minus the usual troll suspects.

Thank you all who bring so much information and insight. I learn every day the good the bad and the ugly with many ideas on how to combat the bad and ugly.

All the more reason to do so. Still own a bunch of his movies, as well as the little red book of Wit and Wisdom.
