shadowkat1. Spiderman No Way Home is finally available to buy on streaming - Apple TV, Amazon and Vudu. I'll probably buy it this weekend for $20. Ditch my 12.95 a month National Theater Live subscription.
"Spider-Man: No Way Home," the highest-grossing movie of 2021, is now available to watch on-demand; the film was originally scheduled to release digitally on March 22, but the release date was moved up one week to March 15.
Though the movie is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it won't be included on Disney Plus. Instead, it's currently only available to buy for $20 from streaming retailers like Amazon and Vudu.
With stars like Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Benedict Cumberbatch, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" ends a trilogy of films in the MCU that began with "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and "Spider-Man: Far From Home." The film also brings back characters from the earlier trilogy of "Spider-Man" movies starring Tobey Maguire, and "The Amazing Spider-Man" films series starring Andrew Garfield.
"Spider-Man: No Way Home" recently surpassed "Avatar" as North America's third-highest grossing movie release, generating $760 million in the domestic box office. The film has grossed $1.8 billion globally, making it the sixth-highest earner in film history. The movie also received critical acclaim, and currently holds a "93% Certified Fresh" rating on review-aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
Where to watch 'Spider-Man No Way Home'
"Spider-Man: No Way Home" is now available to watch at home through most video-on-demand retail services. You can buy the movie from Vudu, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and the Google Play Store for $20.
$19.98 from Amazon
$19.98 from Vudu
$19.98 from Apple TV
A cheaper rental option will likely be available in the near future, but a release has not been confirmed. Rentals are typically available on the same day movies are released for purchase or about a month after. Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray versions of "Spider-Man: No Way Home" will launch on April 12 for collectors who prefer a physical copy of the film.
Is 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' coming to Disney Plus or Netflix?
Sony's streaming contracts for films like "Spider-Man: No Way Home" will keep it off Disney Plus and Netflix when it's released digitally — at least initially.
Instead, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is set to make its subscription video debut on Starz, the cable network and streaming service. "Spider-Man: Homecoming" is available on Starz right now too.
Starz CEO Jeffrey Hirsch recently said "Spider-Man: No Way Home" should be available on Starz within the next six months. You can subscribe directly to Starz for $9 a month; a current deal offers three months for $5 or six months for $20.
Sony completed a separate deal with Netflix for films released in 2022 and beyond, so it's possible that "Spider-Man: No Way Home" will end up on Netflix after the initial release window with Starz is over.

2. I love this song by "The Chicks" and sung by Beyonce with the Chicks.
Daddy Lessons
and here's The Chick's version of it:
I love both - but Beyonce's voice nails some of it.
3. On a personal note? I got my blood pressure meds. They had them. I'm so relieved.
Mother: You must be relieved.
Me: Yeah, I had this whole worrisome storyline played out in my head on how it would go on down - and it didn't happen at al.
Mother: You are definitely my daughter.
Later she told me a story about the day I was born. We were discussing moments of being touched by "grace" or "god" or "the universe".
Mother: I had one of my best moments when my first child was born. Then I was touched by god. I held you in my arms. You were so tiny, and so precious, with a full head of hair - and it was crazy hair - it was frost tipped. The ends were blond as if you got a frost job.
ME: Kind of like highlights?
Mother: Yes, tipped with blond or white.
Me: And now, I have it again.
Mother: It was just the ends. And your eyes were so very blue. They say all babies have blue eyes, but that's not true - your brother's eyes were very dark brown. But your grandmother...I remember looking into hers towards the end and hers were so beautiful - the color of sapphires.
My mother is 25 years older than I am, and her mother was 25 years older than she was, and fifty years older than me. If my gran were still alive, she'd be 105.
Another bit of good news - I was right, my entire little group, managers included - unanimously does not want to go to head honchos party. BYT said their intent may have been in the right place, but just no. It's not only a pain to get there, but it's still a pandemic, and some of us are germaphobes, and don't particularly want to go to a crowded office party without masks, and everyone breathing on the food.
Plus, it's not like we aren't busy or anything.
There's not many of us in this little group - just seven.
4. And here's... Redesigning Women by the Highway Women
And..a gender flip on The Highway Men ...The Highway Women
And the original version Highway Man.
5. Today once again, I was reminded of how differently people view things...
Gabe posted on FB and keeps mentioning at work all the things she does. She studies on her commute, reads books on botany, and on her phone watches youtube videos educating herself. She wants to be a professional florist and landscape designer. People are impressed with how much work she's doing. In an attempt to be snarky - she quips : "What are other people doing on the phones and commutes?"
And I thought, not everyone has the same job or life you have. Some sleep.
Some relax. Some read. Some eat. Some play games. Some text their kids. Some post amateur photos.
And on Soap Twitter - where fans were upset that a character they despised was doing something nice, and having a nice conversation with a character they preferred. And both were shown in a nice light - they couldn't whine about her. Their reaction was fury.
They felt the character was out of character. That for years she had an ingrained misogyny because she preferred hanging with men. Etc. (Women were calling her a tramp to her face.) And people who disagreed or saw it differently were in bizarro world - because of course their view was the only valid one.
This same group of fans? Gets upset when one of their fav's gets slammed.
My god. I wonder if people see themselves or rather read themselves? Do we?
I ask myself if I am a hypocrite sometimes without meaning to be. I think so. Contradicting myself.
At any rate - I've been restraining myself from fighting with folks on Soap Twitter over a fictional soap opera character. It's really not worth the bandwidth or the time and energy. Been there done that with television characters in the past, still have the battle wounds.
Also...I kind of like this statement from Twitter:
"A fighter never knows when it's the last bell. He doesn't want to face that. We have distorted views, pictures of how our lives should be.'"
It's raining finally. And it is time to sleep. Good night.
