Netflix (31.6%) holds its ground as the leading downstream application in North America and together with YouTube (18.6%) accounts for over 50% of downstream traffic on fixed networks. I've read 60% for all entertainment apps. Netflix has data usage ranging from 300MB per hour to 4.7GB per hour . |

Maybe too sad to watch? Alzheimer's is so devastating. I'm thinking I couldn't watch it. I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

I'd recommend it anyhow. There is a lot more there than just the disease, there is a lot of reflection on the nature of humanity. The presentation is matter-of-fact, with no artificial heart-tugging. And the performances, across the board , including Kristen Stewart, are excellent. |

| Ayecarumba Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 89 Posts: 1744 | Saw a preview screening of "The Age of Adaline" last night. Blake Lively stars as a woman born in the early 20th century, who ceases to age. Unless you are a Blake Lively fan... Pass. Harrison Ford does a great job in a third act supporting role, but it comes too late to redeem this yawner. |

| Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | Just saw Ex Machina. Outstanding! Best movie I've seen since Promethius, and perhaps better than that. I must admit I'm a little biased because I love robot and alien movies.  Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

I think you like robot movies that ask the big questions. Which many of them are willing to take on. Movie made $100K/day for two weeks in four theaters, and now just $1M/day for 6 days in wide release. A24 films has mostly released small or horror films until now. It looks like this is their bid for artistic awards. http://a24films.com/ I like the trailer. |
