Thanks for the warn off, Megan.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Thanks for the warn off, Megan.
I hate to say someone shouldn't see something but I guess that's where I am with this one. Maybe I just had too high expectations, especially after last summer, but this summer season has been a bit of a dud so far and I thought I could at least count on Bourne. And the cast seemed so promising.
In short, everyone go see Les Innocentes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Well, that's too bad. I'll give it a miss entirely then.

A question re: access to older movies:
I want to see "Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol", but I don't want to buy it (I just want to ogle Jeremy Renner's ass for a while). It's not on Netflix, it's not in any of the Redbox thingies I check. Is this the time to check Amazon for streaming options?
edit: OK, revised question. I don't have the streaming devices that Amazon wants me to use, I just want to watch it on my computer. Do I have an option other than Amazon?

Check the public library's collection?

Your computer isn't an option with Amazon? (I haven't streamed from them, so I don't know.) That seems weird as hell.

Yeah, I can stream movies from Amazon on my computer. Is that just for Prime subscribers? If so, you can totally be me for a while.

And if the public library doesn't have it, you can request it.
Don't forget to also ogle Renner's arms.

On this page for Amazon: [link] it says "To access Your Video Library: From your computer - Go to the Amazon Video website and click Your Video Library."
Unless your computer is too old? That might limit playback. Or not. I'm not sure.

Your computer isn't an option with Amazon?
It says: "Watch instantly on Fire HD, Amazon Fire TV, game consoles, smart TVs, mobile phones and other streaming devices. "
It's starting to look like the way they were showing the Olympics online, tell them who your cable provider was first to see if you were worthy of seeing it online.
I can check the library, but their collection tends very heavily to family movies and educational stuff. I suspect regular release movies at the library are seen either as unfair competition to rental outlets or are stolen quickly.
