The only justification that I can see for watching TV or movies on a tiny screen is because you can't watch them on a bigger screen. I can see that watching a movie on a tablet would be superior to watching one on a smartphone, but both suck, one just sucks a little bit less than the other.

We should be demanding better screens. Wearable screens. I don't want to have a four inch screen, or a nine inch screen, I want a portable device with a 200 inch screen, and the only way to do that is to come up with a wearable screen. I'm amazed that they are so bad, still. The advantages, especially in this mobile age, are too obvious to pass up. The first eyeglass screens I saw were in the mid-90s/ They weren't really useable back then, and the current ones don't seem to be any better.
There's one other reason (at least for me) to watch a movie on a slate, and that's because the PPI is so much higher than on your HDTV. I'd dig watching 1080p Star Trek on a 9.7" screen. (Not all the time, of course.)
