Ryan Reynolds Says People Can Watch Streaming Films On Phones Or "Whatever F*cking Device You Want"

Netflix is clearly dominating the streaming industry, with its immense library of content, including a selection of hundreds of original films and TV series. And the truth is, many of the subscribers probably never stream on their TV sets, instead opting for their phone, tablet, or laptop. While this seems to get under the skin of folks like Martin Scorsese, actor Ryan Reynolds recently told Variety that he’s okay with his films being watched however the hell people want to watch.

“You should be able to watch whatever the fuck you want to watch on whatever fucking device you want to watch it on. I don’t know. I would say that’s just the way things are,” said Reynolds.

With “6 Underground” reliant on huge set pieces and crazy action, you would think the actor would be more on board with Scorsese’s plea to have film fans enjoy the movie on the biggest screen possible. At least in that respect, “6 Underground” director Michael Bay agrees with the legendary filmmaker.

“I don’t want my movies to be watched on a phone either,” said Bay. “But movies aren’t that bad on these new TVs that have HDR, high dynamic range. Listen most of the Academy votes on TVs, okay. We all love movies. I’m a big cinema guy. But, the great thing about Netflix is it’s a new voice out here and it’s a strong voice. And they do interesting content. So, that’s why I appreciate it.”

If you have Reynolds saying that you should enjoy films on a phone while sitting on the toilet and Scorsese still advocating for the big screen experience, Bay is firmly between the two, advocating for TVs instead of phones to enjoy his latest dose of Bayhem.

But regardless of what any of these folks think, the truth is that many people enjoy Netflix content (films and/or TV programs) on their phones all the time. In fact, while it annoys the ever-loving hell out of me, my wife (an avid film watcher) enjoys movies just fine on her phone, if that’s the only device available. I’m sure she’s far from the only one.

You can watch “6 Underground” while going to the restroom or sitting on the comfort of your couch on December 13 via Netflix.
