yeah, I've got a few others that I need to check out/get removed. The nose one is small but annoying since I hit it every time I blow my nose.
@  unluckiness : (24 June 2019 - 08:46 AM)

Try to get a histopath examination if it isn't too expensive over there. It's probably just a mole but I'd think certainty would be better.
@  MEDdMI : (24 June 2019 - 07:59 AM)

@unluckiness I know, plan to get it removed but gotta get an appt first

That is not a good thing, especially in the long term
@  MEDdMI : (23 June 2019 - 10:17 PM)

So who wants to hear about this mole on my nose that I keep scratching open
@  NotVeryKnightly : (23 June 2019 - 09:24 PM)

Yeah, it's kind of defeating the purpose of making political discussions more restricted if you're just gonna go at it elsewhere on this site.
@  Telly : (23 June 2019 - 07:06 PM)

that would probly fit better in the p & r thread. its there for things just like this

The citizens resisted by buying up all the town's beer reserves so the Nazis would have to stay sober the entire time.
@  Nevermore : (23 June 2019 - 03:28 PM)

Meanwhile, congratulations civil resistance, part 2: So a group of Nazis were holding one of their Good Old Times Reenactment festivals in a small East German town.
@  Nevermore : (23 June 2019 - 03:26 PM)

It's basically like an anti-Trump candidate winning Texas.

The mayoral elections of Istanbul are considered to be a key indicator for the political climate in the entire country.
@  Nevermore : (23 June 2019 - 03:24 PM)

This time, it was a landslide victory for the opposition's candidate.
@  Nevermore : (23 June 2019 - 03:23 PM)

After president Erdogan had a court revoke the results of the mayoral election of Istanbul after the opposition party's candidate had won by a small margin, the election was repeated today.

Congratulations, democracy part 1: Today is a historic day for Turkey.

Is he a Shellformer
@  Nevermore : (22 June 2019 - 12:38 PM)

Supposedly it's about that football player Calvin Johnson.
@  Pennpenn : (22 June 2019 - 07:03 AM)

I'm vaguely confused why there is a Nicki Minaj song in my youtube reccomendations, but even more confused as to why that song (which appears to be from an official account) is called "MEGATRON".

So which series is 90s American Godzilla?
@  Dekafox : (20 June 2019 - 03:12 PM)

So G1 Marvel would be Showa Transformers then
@  NotVeryKnightly : (20 June 2019 - 12:37 PM)

Yes.
@  RichardT1977 : (20 June 2019 - 12:05 PM)

Is it weeby of me to refer to the two IDW TF continuities as Heisei and Reiwa? I mean, the switchover almost perfectly lines up with the change of eras...
@  Tm_Silverclaw : (20 June 2019 - 10:35 AM)

I hate when the spicy version of something isn't spicy!
@  Pennpenn : (20 June 2019 - 08:43 AM)

I hate it when the spicy version of something is in almost identical packaging to the non-spicy version. Especially when I don't notice until I've got home.
@  TheMightyMol... : (19 June 2019 - 05:44 PM)

They make a lot of pills for that.
@  Nevermore : (19 June 2019 - 05:42 PM)

I got the results of the test back. I definitely have no sense of humor.
@  Paladin : (18 June 2019 - 05:59 PM)

so anyway how is your sex life?
@  TheMightyMol... : (18 June 2019 - 10:50 AM)

These jokes are tearing me apart.
@  unluckiness : (18 June 2019 - 08:55 AM)

Only if the customer reviews give it all high marks.
@  Patch : (18 June 2019 - 04:42 AM)

Are they going to call it "I-Did-Nawtflix?"
@  unluckiness : (18 June 2019 - 12:48 AM)

I see, so what the world needs is a Tommy Wiseau streaming service.
@  TM2-Megatron : (17 June 2019 - 11:02 PM)

Well, Conan did start the trend that resulted in a wave of Barbarian films in the mid to late 80s
@  MEDdMI : (17 June 2019 - 10:57 PM)

I keep wanting to read Corman as Conan
@  TM2-Megatron : (17 June 2019 - 10:29 PM)

There needs to be some streaming service that caters to connoisseurs of schlock. Otherwise, a huge part of our cultural history will be wiped away. While many of these films are available on blu-ray, with more coming out each month, it's good they're also available for the streaming crowd.
@  TM2-Megatron : (17 June 2019 - 10:18 PM)

Corman did make an impressive number of barbarian films back in the day. If impressive is the word
@  Steevy Maximus : (17 June 2019 - 08:11 PM)

I mean, where else are you going to see the entire Roger Corman barbarian fantasy library (legally) for free?
@  Steevy Maximus : (17 June 2019 - 08:09 PM)

Oh Tubi TV, you are a haven for terrible films. Netflix, Hulu and Crackle all push for mainstream appeal and prestige, you got the guts to have ready access to dregs even the SyFy channel wouldn't air
@  ▲ndrusi : (17 June 2019 - 01:33 PM)

Also you have Bayonetta and a bunch of Fire Emblem people.
@  ▲ndrusi : (17 June 2019 - 01:33 PM)

...I mean, Tales character. Probably up to/for it.

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.

God help us if he ever posts a "Favorite movies of all time" thread.

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.
WWOPD?
