Which Firesticks are you using? I'm currently getting all my content streaming using an Apple TV, netflix, Prime etc. Thinking of expanding my options.
Get a 4K Firestick. It has all of the aforementioned streaming apps/services you mentioned all on one tidy little device. You can even download movies onto the Firestick for offline access.

You have to "jailbreak" them first and then side load the apps - but jail breaking them now days is built in and about 4 clicks of the remote. Then open a browser or download "Downloader" and download the apps directly.

A chimp could do it. Obviously if I can.........

Agreed - even if you don't care about 4K - the faster processor and more memory make this a no brainer. The $ difference is nothing.

I think the new Firestick 4K MAX is even more powerful - I don't own one yet though, so I can't speak from experience. I did upgrade several from old firestick to 4K ones and the difference is very noticeable.

Don’t waste your time on Finch. Wish I had that 2 hours back. Too bad Hollywood can’t come up with any more original ideas.

Hollywood has been out of ideas for quite some time.

Watched Mandy again last night and was reminded what an incredible experience this is.
Would love to see this in a real Dolby theater, but for now a big screen and an excellent audio system are highly recommended for maximum enjoyment.

I have this booked in theater for tonight. Is it worth going? I can cancel and not waste time if it was crappy. Reviews seem very mixed.

Two comments for user of firestick/kodi + apps for stuff that shouldn't be free.
1. Someone is always watching. Even with a VPN there is risk.
2. More importantly god only knows what are in all those packages that get installed. I'd keep a close eye on your traffic at the router.
Given the above and that piracy funds some very shady stuff for me it's worth it to buy the UHD BD or HD BD.
And in a decade or so you'll have something that will be valuable-physical ownership of media.

If you're a fan of the original game, I think you will like this movie.

Watched it. I was the only one in the theater and near the front. That added to the creepy elements. I enjoyed it.

I'm glad you enjoyed it as well. It was far better than any of the prior RE movies IMHO.

Thinking about checking out the new Sandra Bullock drama that was just released on Netflix called "The Unforgivable". Anyone see it yet?

Are you sure? The fact you're posting here when watching the movie makes me wonder.
