Make his fur a red and black flannel pattern
@  wonko the sane? : (18 February 2019 - 09:10 PM)

Bonus points if you can work in a red and black flannel pattern on his chest plate.
@  wonko the sane? : (18 February 2019 - 09:09 PM)

Might as well make it cliched. Lumberjack moose male and aristocratic deer female.
@  TriBlurr : (18 February 2019 - 08:16 PM)

Or their aristocratic deer.
@  TriBlurr : (18 February 2019 - 08:10 PM)

Thinking of making a pair of moose Transformer OCs, male and female. Thier a lovey dovy pair of lumberjacks

they also have NOTORIOUSLY poor protection on their servers. do NOT keep a credit card on file there.

i just checked my past tfsource orders, and theres no sales tax charge
@  Arazyr : (18 February 2019 - 11:16 AM)

They haven't (yet, at least) on the stuff I currently have in my Stack. Haven't had them ship anything for a while, though, so I don't know if they will when I do...
@  Benbot : (18 February 2019 - 11:04 AM)

Does TFSource charge sales tax?
@  wonko the sane? : (18 February 2019 - 09:47 AM)

That's because, once upon a time, the people whom owned the animals weren't the people whom butchered them. So the pig was owned by a saxon who spoke english, but butchered by a french speaker. So a pig got cut up into PORC chops.

@  PlutoniumBoss : (18 February 2019 - 01:28 AM)

In that case, I don't see anything wrong with English speakers calling it what it is in English. Even though we technically use the French words for what comes out of it. "Beef", "pork"...
@  Bass X0 : (17 February 2019 - 02:04 PM)

I’d like a Siege Thundercracker who has his regular blue colors Cybertronian jet mode which transforms into a robot mode with his Action Master colors. Looks like it could be possible.
@  Paladin : (17 February 2019 - 11:57 AM)

The cow was slaughtered in the abattoir.
@  wonko the sane? : (17 February 2019 - 08:53 AM)

It's not a pretty name: abattoir is literally just the french word for slaughterhouse.
@  PlutoniumBoss : (17 February 2019 - 08:46 AM)

Giving it a pretty name won't make it a pretty place.
@  SHIELD Agent 47 : (17 February 2019 - 02:45 AM)

I do believe there is an aphorism about the U.S.A. and yogurt being different because after 200 years the latter will have a culture.
@  Maruten : (16 February 2019 - 11:30 PM)

There's another word for "abattoir"?! Honestly you people, "slaughterhouse" is a bit on the nose.
@  SHIELD Agent 47 : (16 February 2019 - 10:09 PM)

I learned this week that the French-style term abattoir is prevalent in the UK/Commonwealth in place of where U.S.-American Anglophones would say "slaughterhouse". Fascinating.
@  MEDdMI : (16 February 2019 - 08:51 PM)

Nonsense. Everybody loves all my posts.
@  Rodimus Supreme : (16 February 2019 - 08:27 PM)

Or dislike them. ;)
@  wonko the sane? : (16 February 2019 - 05:34 PM)

Wish we could like the shout posts...
@  Patch : (16 February 2019 - 04:26 PM)

Uh oh. Here comes a flock of Wah-Wahs.
@  Rodimus Supreme : (16 February 2019 - 10:54 AM)

Oh, that makes more sense.
@  wonko the sane? : (16 February 2019 - 07:31 AM)

Haven't given it to him yet. Not sure when I will, but soon. Wah Wah is what he calls any vehicle with a siren, and the little bugger just LOVES firetrucks. So I got him a rescue bot heatwave.
@  repowers : (16 February 2019 - 02:41 AM)

I hope he said "You've given me a wah-wah"
@  Dekafox : (16 February 2019 - 12:48 AM)

A red panda?
@  Rodimus Supreme : (15 February 2019 - 11:06 PM)

*WAH
@  Rodimus Supreme : (15 February 2019 - 11:05 PM)

THE HECK IS A WHAH WAH?!?!?!
@  wonko the sane? : (15 February 2019 - 08:54 PM)

Yay! My nephew's Wah Wah showed up today!
@  Steevy Maximus : (14 February 2019 - 08:12 PM)

@  Pennpenn : (14 February 2019 - 07:07 PM)

A day best ignored if you're not the target demographic. Can be difficult sometimes though.
@  Paladin : (14 February 2019 - 11:55 AM)

Valentine's Day. bummer.
@  wonko the sane? : (14 February 2019 - 08:55 AM)

Or you could come to canada, where bureaucracy is a publically funded art form! So garbage and used condoms trying to make a statement about something or other, not entirely sure what.
@  Nevermore : (14 February 2019 - 06:10 AM)

We've turned it into an art form.
@  Nevermore : (14 February 2019 - 06:10 AM)

You think you know bureaucracy, but you've never been to Germany.
@  RichardT1977 : (13 February 2019 - 11:48 PM)

I think a better counterpart would be "society".
@  SHIELD Agent 47 : (13 February 2019 - 11:24 PM)

Sounds like the cobra effect.
@  Echowarrior : (13 February 2019 - 05:58 PM)

I think a better counterpart for it would be bureaucracy.
@  MEDdMI : (13 February 2019 - 08:33 AM)

Is Verbesserschlimmerung a change that was intented to make things worse but made them better instead?
@  wonko the sane? : (13 February 2019 - 07:35 AM)

We have a similar word in english "government".
@  Nevermore : (13 February 2019 - 06:05 AM)

The meaning of this word is: A change that was intended as an improvement but ended up making things worse.
@  Nevermore : (13 February 2019 - 06:04 AM)

It's a portmanteau of "Verbesserung", which means "improvement", and "Verschlimmerung", which means "worsening".
@  Nevermore : (13 February 2019 - 06:04 AM)

Your new German word for today: Verschlimmbesserung.
@  TM2-Megatron : (12 February 2019 - 02:17 PM)

Fortunately it's been long enough now that the possibility exists another label like Shout Factory or Arrow could pick it up and give it an updated release.
@  TM2-Megatron : (12 February 2019 - 02:16 PM)

It's the same with their Dawn of the Dead blu-ray, and several others
@  TM2-Megatron : (12 February 2019 - 02:11 PM)

In Volcano's case it isn't so much a case just of amazon or eBay sellers... it looks like rather than releasing it directly, Fox licensed it out to Starz/Anchor Bay, and it's subsequently gone out of print
@  SHIELD Agent 47 : (12 February 2019 - 01:28 PM)

There's Amazon sellers for you.
@  Telly : (12 February 2019 - 12:49 PM)

thought about buying volcano on bluray last night, until i saw the price on amazon: $135. the used ones arent much cheaper at $90. i know the 3p sellers can set any price they want, but come on. $90-$135 for a 20 year old movie that was only so-so?
@  unluckiness : (12 February 2019 - 05:12 AM)

GOt my hopes up there for a bit. Last I heard it was nebulously in 2019.

Nice one!  :D  But you forgot to copy & paste the entire 1999 in Film wiki page...

 

Bonus points for Drop Dead Gorgeous and The Thirteenth Floor mentions, those don't get much attention nowadays (or when they came out, I guess...)

 

 

Not mentioned already:

 

Payback - Excellent Mel Gibson noir film and funny to boot. Not a fan of the director's cut ending at all.

 

Dogma - Hilarious and poignant. When I think of Kevin Smith's descent this is the film that makes me saddest for it; what a waste.

 

South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut - I don't know how well it holds up as I haven't seen it in forever, but this was a pretty big event for a young me. It'd be like if a Simpsons movie came out while the Simpsons was still relevant and funny.

 

The 13th Warrior - A notable box office bomb with a troubled production, but I think it ended up a brilliant re-imagining of the Beowulf epic.

 

Sleepy  Hollow - My favorite Burton/ Depp collaboration, it's just brimming with everything that's best about those two and a delightfully wicked spin on the old story. It also contains one of my favorite film cameos of all time.

 

 

Honorable Mentions:

 

House on Haunted Hill remake

 

Stir of Echoes

He didn't list every movie that came out in 1999, so probably not.

I dont think any movie has had as much influence on me as Fightclub. maybe it was just being a 20 year old college student trying to figure out my life, and kind of stumbling in on this weird movie at the discount theater.
