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"...

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.

The cow was slaughtered in the abattoir.

It's not a pretty name: abattoir is literally just the french word for slaughterhouse.

Giving it a pretty name won't make it a pretty place.

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.

There's another word for "abattoir"?! Honestly you people, "slaughterhouse" is a bit on the nose.

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.

Nonsense. Everybody loves all my posts.

Or dislike them.

Wish we could like the shout posts...

Uh oh. Here comes a flock of Wah-Wahs.

Oh, that makes more sense.

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.

I hope he said "You've given me a wah-wah"

A red panda?

*WAH

THE HECK IS A WHAH WAH?!?!?!

Yay! My nephew's Wah Wah showed up today!

BotBots are GLORIOUS

A day best ignored if you're not the target demographic. Can be difficult sometimes though.

Valentine's Day. bummer.

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.

We've turned it into an art form.

You think you know bureaucracy, but you've never been to Germany.

I think a better counterpart would be "society".

Sounds like the cobra effect.

I think a better counterpart for it would be bureaucracy.

Is Verbesserschlimmerung a change that was intented to make things worse but made them better instead?

We have a similar word in english "government".

The meaning of this word is: A change that was intended as an improvement but ended up making things worse.

It's a portmanteau of "Verbesserung", which means "improvement", and "Verschlimmerung", which means "worsening".

Your new German word for today: Verschlimmbesserung.

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.

It's the same with their Dawn of the Dead blu-ray, and several others

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

There's Amazon sellers for you.

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?

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

Nope, none for REmake or Zero either.

Do we have a release date?

Looking forward to RE4 on Switch, it will be my annual playthrough.

Don't call Floridans that. It's degrading to marine mammals.

Oh, the huge manatee

Anyone here ever been to the Manatee Viewing Center right outside Apollo Beach, Florida?

The manatees were extra eager that day.

Maybe they accidentally got some editorial oversight for a while or something.

And it shifted gears the season after, it's like there was a different head writer or editor or something one year

There was some random season after the cancellation that I thought was amazing, but I don't watch the show closely enough to tell you which one it was
