ENJOY YOUR FAVORITE FILMS EARLIER Streaming Services Change the Face of Entertainment
The way we watch our favorite shows and movies has changed drastically in recent years and even more so this year. With the pandemic impacting the world, people found themselves stuck inside their homes looking for new sources of entertainment, and many found exactly what they were looking for through the numerous streaming services available to us. The pandemic made time for people to watch their favorite shows again and again, and it also changed the way businesses, such as Disney and Universal Studios, release their movies. Throughout the spring, many movies were released early and some skipped theater showings all together. “Trolls: World Tour” was released through video-on-demand and earned nearly $100 million in rental fees on its April 10 debut, grossing far more than the first “Trolls” movie debut in 2016. Other movies, such as “Onward” and “Frozen II,” were released early on different digital platforms for purchase or rent. One of the most anticipated early releases under this new system is “Hamilton.” This hit Broadway show has drawn thousands of people to the theater since its debut in 2015. A stage performance of “Hamilton” was filmed in 2016 in just over three days. The resulting movie creates an opportunity for everyone to see the show, whether
or not they were able to catch it live on stage. Disney bought the rights to the film last year and announced this February that it would be released on Oct. 15, 2021 in theaters. However, due to the pandemic, Disney decided that what people needed most was something they could enjoy, even if they could not leave their
homes. On May 12, the studio announced the film would be available to stream on Disney+ starting on the July Fourth holiday. “Hamilton” fans and those who’ve never seen the play are thrilled to watch the film 16 months in advance of the originally scheduled release. Streaming services have changed how people consume their entertainment, and the pandemic has changed how streaming services offer it. Both changes are helping people get through these difficult times.
CELEBRATING COFFEE WITH A FEWWORLD-FAMOUS BRANDS
illy Another highly trusted Italian coffee brand, illy is known for its high-end espresso and uses a 100% Arabica blend. Known as a premium coffee brand, illy coffee offers espressos with high and low caffeine levels. For example, seasonally, they have an acclaimed
If you have never noticed the holiday before, it might surprise you just how many people celebrate National Coffee Day on Sept. 29 within the U.S. and Canada. For example, to celebrate the holiday, Krispy Kreme (historically) gives out a free glazed doughnut and one brewed coffee, and even Barnes and Nobles gives out a free Starbucks coffee. But, if you are a huge fan of coffee like we are at Hegwood Law Group, you might want coffee that tastes a little bit more extraordinary than what you can get around town. Here are our recommendations. LavAzza This is one of Kim Hegwood’s all-time favorite coffees — and it is for so many others. LavAzza is a household brand in Italy. Using a blend of Arabica and Robusta coffee beans, you will find a high amount of caffeine and more antioxidants in a cup of LavAzza than a few other popular brands out there. One of their best sellers, LavAzza Gran Crema, is a best-seller in both Europe and the U.S. Try it with a bit of milk and you will see why!
low-caffeine Arabica, Idillyum blend, grown from the rich, volcanic soil in El Salvador. Try illy’s Classico Ground Espresso at medium roast for a classic illy experience! UCC One of the most famous coffee brands in Asia, Japanese coffee brand UCC (Ueshima Coffee Co.) made quite a few industry-changing moves, like developing the world’s first canned coffee in 1969 (and, trust us, it is delicious). As an official sponsor of Tokyo Disneyland, with its own coffee museum on Port Island in Kobe and a UCC coffee estate in Kona, Hawaii, it did not take long for the brand to make a worldwide takeover. It is a challenge to get their ground coffee in the U.S., but their famous instant coffees will pleasantly surprise you.
Try one of these unique brands when you get a chance, available at most grocery stores (although you might have to check the Asian aisles for UCC!).
