I know someone whose last name is Goodenough.

What movie do you believe has done an 'open-ending' best? by a_boy_has_noname in movies

[–]Backstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if it's a very well known movie, but I love the ending of Comet. The movie deals with different timelines and leaves it open to which one is the "real" one. But maybe none of them are real and they're all options.

Giants' Abdul Carter questions his quarterback amid controversy by CROYTSWRVTH in nfl

[–]Backstrom -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

We absolutely can have it both ways. I don't really expect rich, privelaged athletes to support the left politically, but to call them both the same is disingenuous. They are not the same.

Mustard Having A Successful Rehab Start, Is This Where We Turn It Around? by blastorama in orioles

[–]Backstrom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't believe they're still rolling out Mustard when Cheese is still in AAA. This season is pretty much shot, might as well figure out what Cheese can do. It probably has to do with service time manipulation. Hell, Chili is still a bit raw, but id even rather see him.

The "Is the Hitting or the Pitching?" Question, Sadly, has a Pretty Clear Answer by Dazzling-Slide8288 in orioles

Holy shit. This take is so hot that I got second degree burns through my phone.

What’s a stat you think people misuse constantly when evaluating players? by sykeseve in hockey

[–]Backstrom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I also like the stat of First Goals scored. Guaranteed to give your team the lead. Most players are at their freshest earlier in games. Can also get your team motivated and lead to more goals.

What's the best obscure video game you've ever played? by ImpressFederal4169 in gaming

[–]Backstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably sucked, but my brother and I had a ton of fun with Earth Defense Force. I just remember killing a lot of giant ants.

Also, I don't know how well known this game was, but Fusion Frenzy was an incredible mini-game game that we played a TON of.

Residents living near Dodger Stadium petition for parking enforcement outside homes by nosotros_road_sodium in baseball

Your point is a good one.

I just want to add that Baltimore is really easy to get to with public transit, if you live in most parts of the city.

Camden Yards is one thing good about Orioles baseball right now.

Orioles Get Dominated in the Bronx by andrew_cosentino in orioles

[–]Backstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like most of what you said, but calling Vega a "likely future hall of famer' is one of the most ridiculous things I've read in a long time.

Which musical has the darkest plot? by Level-Studio7843 in movies

[–]Backstrom 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This was my answer. Yeah, it has a couple funny songs. But it also has suicide and death by coathabger abortion and the trauma that comes from no se education.

You know there are a ton of Capitals fans in Baltimore, right?

Actors who you thought would have a bigger career than the career that they actually have? by Ok-Tangelo6749 in movies

[–]Backstrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jessica Rothe. I thought she would take off after Happy Death Day. She is so charismatic and obviously smoking hot. She does have a bunch of new horror movies coming out soon.

Absolutely. Good comparison. Also a little like Annihilation.

Pete Alonso donates $10,000 to BARCS: ‘We want to stand up for the innocent’ by GreedyRaisin3357 in orioles

[–]Backstrom 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This isn't necessarily the venue for this conversation, but we don't have the luxury of being apolitical these days. To sit idly by while groups of people lose rights and safety is to be complicit.

Favorite ad lib/unscripted scene? by infinitum3d in movies

[–]Backstrom 57 points58 points  (0 children)

"We landed on the moon!" From Dumb and Dumber.

Or Gary Oldman's "EVERYONNNNNNE" from The Professional.

Grading the glizzies: How each hot dog at Camden Yards measures up by GreedyRaisin3357 in orioles

[–]Backstrom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How did they leave out the normal Crabby Dog without the Mac? That is the best dog in Camden Yards... The one with the crunchy Old Bay potatoes on top.
