Thrive to spite them

Some episodes are available free and some are available for Plus only.

For example Bob's Burgers-Episodes 1-5 are free (although it looks like a few are set to expire soon) and episodes 9-13 are Plus only.

And with Plus you can stream to devices (well what shows are available for streaming to devices) where as the free version you can only get on the computer.

That Atlantic article confuses me:

Remember, many people don't use streaming at all.

I'm sure that's true, but I'm not convinced that "many" equals "most." Or even half. Netflix is already expanding into other countries with streaming, which they cannot do with physical media.

In particular, if you don't have an Internet-ready device connected to your television with a Netflix widget, then streaming is far less attractive

Yeah, how many people use magical widgets like iPhones and Xboxes and Wiis? And nobody would ever watch a movie or TV show on a laptop, or iPad, or even their phone; that's just crazy sci-fi talk!

I get that the streaming content is not for everyone, but I think that guy is skipping a few steps connecting "my wife and I don't like it that much" to " nobody will pay for that!"

I know, right? Um, I have a decent-size monitor and watch stuff on my computer all the time? Streaming is cool? Shut up?

I only watch streaming on the computer, but then I'm single. It's much less of an option for couples or families.

I suspect the comments on that article are pointing out a lot of these issues.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

From Slashdot: Bruce Campbell Confirms New Evil Dead Movie

"Dread Central reported last night that a fourth Evil Dead film is up for production in Detroit, and editor Bob Murawski, who worked with Sam Raimi on all three 'Spider-Man' films and 'Drag Me to Hell,' is gearing up to start on the project. Bruce Campbell recently joined Twitter and left one of the best comments to a fan confirming this rumor 'Believe in the remake, dawg! The project is real. In the works. Cool as hell. Scary as hell.'"

Source story seems to be Slashdotted....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I saw somewhere that he tweeted it was a remake, not a 4th.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

So now there will be three remakes of The Evil Dead in a four-movie franchise?

Directed by Fede Alvarez, Uruguayan director of the short film Panic Attack! I watched it last night, and it does have giant alien robots and massive destruction, so that's fun. I'd never seen Montenegro before, and now I've seen it destroyed!
