FRey: What's wrong with Netflix?Films are being picked up by platforms like Netflix and Amazon all the time and they have a great run.I mean look at Manchester by the Sea.
Aquariana: Netflix is a HUGE platform.
I am a big fan of Netflix, but NOT everyone in the world has access to Netflix. So sometimes, not everyone can even see the "great run" of the movie.
I wanted to watch Spike Lee's Chi-Raq which is available on Amazon. But hey I live in a corner of the world I can't access Amazon movies. I hoped it would get released in the cinema but no such luck. It's not even available on DVD where I live.
And yes, the speed of streaming is not the same for every part of the globe in some parts of the world, the streaming speed sucks. Try watching a Netflix movie when the streaming is not on optimal speed, and you see the images pixelating or the screen just stops.
So nothing wrong with Netflix or Amazon, unless you live in a part of the world where streaming sucks or even the streaming provider is not available. So, my first preference would be to see it in the old fashioned movie theatre if I can, otherwise I'll have to wait for it to come out on DVD (if it ever does).

Try putting the movie on pause for 30 seconds and then press play. Usually, that's all it takes. -

Thanks, Poetist. But really, we have real problems with the streaming where we live. Something to do with how badly the infrastructure was set up for 'supposed high-speed' internet. It didn't even matter what internet or telecommmunications company we went with. All of them use the same crappy infrastructure. It already made the news here that it's a common problem across the country. We have people reporting going to some places around the US, like Hawaii, and they commented that your internet is so much faster than ours!
On good days we're ok, but I just want to throw something at the TV when our speed slows down (and there are far too many days of those happening!)

Sounds interesting! Finally, Henry in something other than JL. I'm also glad to see that he's working with Daddario; she's one of the few actress who actually matches his beauty, IMO. They're going to look so lovely together.
And I have much love for Sir Ben Kingsley. He's a very talented actor and it's good that HC is working with him.
Let's hope that Henry gets a chance to show some real acting chops. -

UmmmBvS was also panned.
The Great Wall he would have starred directed by Edward Zwick could have been a different movie too.
At the end of the day, given his limited filmography, it would be nicer to see him in more movies, rather than short clips of him showing how he is recovering from a knee injury
