I have a trial subscription to Amazon Prime but can't figure out what good it is since most of the movies I've wanted to watch require you to rent them........go figure.

Pay for a subscription then pay for movies??????

I just subscribed to Netflix and am thinking of cancelling my Amazon Prime. Prime movies are, for the most part, second rate.

That’s happening to us more and more. Instead of one stop shopping, most is going behind a paywall.

Note to Amazon: the reason we stream is because of cable. You’re just becoming another cable company.

Over time, different movies and TV shows appear in Prime. If you’re into sci-fi, Prime is currently streaming, for free, series like “Stargate SG-1”, “Babylon 5”, “Battlestar Galactica” (rebooted series), and “The Expanse” (Season 1 and 2 are free with Prime).

A movie theater charges $36 for two tickets. Plus $25 for refreshments. With kids, easily passes $100. So you can sit with kids yaking on their phones and talking to one another. Eech.
