I don't have the streaming devices that Amazon wants me to use, I just want to watch it on my computer.
Your computer isn't an option with Amazon? (I haven't streamed from them, so I don't know.) That seems weird as hell.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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

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.

Ooo, must research. I bought this computer three weeks ago, it's a Win10, it should be fine.
And I will ogle any bit of Renner I can get my eyeballs on. I even actually bought "Hansel and Gretel" for the skinny dipping scene. That movie gets a lot of fast forwarding.
(With video tape you could just rewind it to the place you wanted to watch and leave it there)

I think you're fine on your computer. They probably emphasize streaming devices because they assume that people consider their computer to be the default device.
