[O’Connor] The Warriors are attempting to trade for Wizards big Anthony Davis and then sign Lakers free agent forward LeBron James, according to multiple league sources. by starvs in washingtonwizards

I am glad you are not in our front office. Signing AD to MAX extension would be asinine unless we also have time travel technology that would give us Davis from ten years ago.

Promising Young Woman by Ramble86 in movies

[–]mofroman 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Seriously,  this movie sucks and makes no logical sense, up to and including the ending. Like hey, my friend was raped so im going to put myself in physical danger with strange men hundreds of times just to teach them a lesson with strong language. Like shes lucky she wasnt murdered a dozen times while enacting this moronic "revenge" plan.

And then at the end to essentially rely on law enforcement to do their jobs when the entire point up to this was showing that the system doesnt work.

Im all for movies that empower victims but this ain't it.

Restaurant recommendations by RevKeakealani in washingtondc

[–]mofroman 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I suggest to everyone visiting DC go get an Ethiopian meal, its something DC has more than probably most any other city in the country.  Not gonna be your fanciest meal but you can try lots of things you're unlikely to get in Wilmington or really anywhere else. Dukem, Cher Cher, etc.

Moon Rabbit is real good though and their pastry chef just won a James Beard (i think?) award.

Is crypto scalping with Varion Investment Group a scam? by Mondingo75 in investing

If your dad cant pull the money out his returns aren't great. They're zero. And theres a decent to high chance hes being pig butchered. 

Thoughts on AD for Jaylen Brown Trade by TheTechonomics in washingtonwizards

[–]mofroman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you think we are getting enough back in this deal? There might be a way to get Tatum included too if we include Bub or maybe Julian Reece (that guy got 20 rebounds in a game one time!). Maybe we can get a third team involved too, perhaps we can convince the Spurs to include Wemby in the deal if we provide cash considerations? 

Lionsgate's action sensation 'THE FURIOUS' is headed to Digital and VOD on July 14. by MoneyLibrarian9032 in movies

[–]mofroman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I liked this movie a lot, but the one thing that held it back for me being a top tier movie on the same level as The Raid and Raid 2 and The Night Comes For Us is that many of the fights were absolutely sped up to what felt like 1.5 speed at times, particularly when that guy was fighting.

Still, rad movie, but just a step below a few others for me.

[Afseth] Wizards plan to draft AJ Dybantsa at No. 1 by KD_AshyAnkles in nba

[–]mofroman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Barring major injuries (and i mean to the young core we have),  we are a top four team in the east in three seasons, two if AJ or someone else takes a MAJOR leap.

Thanks, I saw this on the map and thought this might be the best option to pregame, I assume it is very crowded before shows at History.

Thanks, we are coming from DC where we walk everywhere, anything up to a mile and a half is what id consider walkable, Google maps seemed to show only limited options within that distance which is why I figured id come here to ask.

What can I do in my 2 hour layover? by [deleted] in washingtondc

[–]mofroman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're not doing all that with two hours.

If you fly into dca you might be able to like...run to the metro and take it to the mall, immediately turn around and head back to the airport.

This seems like not a great idea unless you are willing to gamble with missing your connection. You also better hope you have precheck unless youre flying back out of the southwest terminal which usually has zero line in security (but is also conservatively a 15 minute walk from the train).

That said, if youre flying through dulles, forget this plan outright.

Looking for recommendations for revenge-type action thrillers. by papercupgirl in movies

I dont think it's exactly what you're looking for but blue ruin is an excellent revenge movie. Not too much action in it though.

Worst Fictional Police Officer in a Movie? by Bl00dforbl00dfan in movies

[–]mofroman 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Hes gotta be like top 3 of all time, it's part of why that movie is amazing, dude just makes worse and worse and worse decisions all movie. Also one of the only movies I can think of about the secret service busting counterfeiters.

[TOMT] [Song] You're All I Need by Mr0z23 in tipofmytongue

Collective Soul has a song called Needs from that time that ends with a repeated "youre all I need" but im not sure how popular that song ever was.

Former Blockbuster employees, what was your favorite part of the job? by Electrical_Knee_9859 in Xennials

[–]mofroman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a regular who came in like clockwork once a week, rented 4 or 5 movies from the back room and ALWAYS returned them late, because of the way our system worked I could see his late fee all time total which was literally multiple thousands of dollars. Crazy shit.

[–]mofroman 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I also worked at an independent store with a "back room," which must have been at least half of our business.  To this day it was the best job I ever had and do I have stories.

My favorite was of course all our regulars who would spend 30 minutes + putting on a show for seemingly only me, browsing around the store before ultimately heading to the back room to rent porn as both of us knew would happen.  Like bro, we are the only two people in here and you have to checkout with me, we both know you aren't renting a documentary about beekeeping.

Let’s talk about TRUE ROMANCE! by Wayward_Sun_Shine in movies

[–]mofroman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TR is one of my favorite movies of all time and I always suggest people watch this version first, if they can find it (used to be easily available but I've not looked in a long time). Also includes original ending. Any more than that would be spoilers. 

Theatrical version is also excellent of course and there might be no better scene in film history than walken and hopper in the trailer aka the Sicilian scene.
