I thought it was kind of a mess. And yes the trailers did give quite a bit away.

I disagree. This is the trailer I am familiar with:


And this literally only focuses on the first half of the movie. Everything else is left out.

Why? The sexual preference of a side character doesn't add (or remove) anything to the plot.

For me, it'd be the exact same thing (neglecting that there's no AMC close by). The difference is I can't see multiple movies a day (lol) or see movies more than once (which tbh I only see MCU movies multiple times so it's not a huge loss).

So I'd be throwing those 10 dollars away every month.

Agreed. If you don't care for premium offerings, and don't care to buy tickets in advance (which is getting more and more difficult, as most theaters around here require reserved seats), Moviepass is the better choice.

Moviepass is still a better deal (while it's still in operation) so pass.

Disagree. If you have an AMC theater near you, and it offers IMAX, leather inclined massage seats, reserved seats, or other premium seating, this is a much better deal. Especially because you can reserve seats well in advance (which you cannot do with moviepass).

We would most likely make the switch to AMC's monthly pass within the next month or so.

We sickle cell patients used to go through the same type of thing. In the 80s/early 90s, it wasn't a common thing to come across, so majority of the doctors in ERs used to think we were faking it if a pain crisis came up. Nowadays it isn't bad at all, thanks to the wider spread knowledge of what sickle cell is. Definitely knows how it feels to be the dude in that video clip (as in you always wonder in the back of your mind if the doctors think you are there as a drug addict or something).

Though aren't panic attacks well known?

Rent a different 9mm at the range and see if it handles better.

The instructor handed me his full-sized M&P 9mm, and I reliably hit the bullseye with it, so I do believe it is the gun. However, I do want to get better at this Shield, because I don't want to carry a gun that I cannot shoot reliably well with.

Just keep and eye out on your finger placement and how you are gripping. Your best bet is to take a class or a one-on-one training session with an instructor to go over your grip and how you are taking your shots. You can read graphs and watch YT videos and practice yourself, of course, but it's always good to have an opinion from someone who is trained. Practice is useless if you are practicing the wrong techniques.

Your gun might be to small, as well. Look into getting a grip sleeve and possibly a pinky extension.

You're also shooting your wife's revolver better due to having such a light trigger pull versus your stock Shield. Those couple pounds make a difference and because your finger is doing less work, your less likely to effect your grip on the gun.

Yup! We both took an introductory NRA basic pistol course to get familiar with the techniques. Interesting thing is when I shot under supervision with the instructor, I fixed my error after a few rounds. By myself, however, it takes at least a couple magazines before I can reliably shoot within the bullseye.

I have done dry firing and I can see that I do move the gun a bit when I pull the trigger, so I need to work on bettering that.

daftpunk_mk5 posted...
Are you only at the range for like 10 minutes?


We're there for about 1-2 hours typically. I try dry firing and such in between magazines.

But it also depends on how well you shoot those 100.

So with my gun, a S&W M&P Shield 2.0 9mm, I keep shooting a little bottom left (2" to the bottom left at a distance of 20 feet). I know this is because I am jerking the trigger or tightening my hand too much, and I'm trying to work on it (this gun has such a skinny handle!).

When I use my wife's gun, a 357 mag single action revolver (with a much beefier handle), I hit within the bullseye though!

If you ask how much the drink is they are required to answer. Just get water if you can, it's free.

If not, you can share your soda with others, they are supposed to give refills for free until you can't drink anymore. So if you have a party of 4....that's about $6 (3 cups) you can save.

Uh... Restaurants are not legally required to give you free water (there are some that actually charge you for tap water now), and restaurants are certainly not required to give you free refills.
