Well, that's too bad. I'll give it a miss entirely then.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

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?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I'm pretty sure you can stream it from Amazon on your computer without prime membership. Or rent it from Google Play and play it on your computer. You only have 48hs to watch it once you start streaming it though: [link]

iTunes might also have it. You could check WhereToWatch.com to find out which sites have it available to rent or buy.
