Amazon Prime subscribers are undoubtedly licking their chops while they await the Rings Of Power series, which premieres September 1 and sets off a mythological tete-a-tete this fall with House Of The Dragon over on HBO. The Lord Of The Rings series gives Prime has a pretty strong base of programming for the next couple of months, and now the service is surrounding its fancy new show with movies designed to keep audiences tuned in once they’re done watching episodes about elves and dwarves. Toward that end, Prime has lined up plenty of complimentary film content for September, including the full set of Middle-earth movies, a lot of solid horror films, and much more.

There will never be a Buckaroo Banzai sequel or show. The rights are so fucked up nobody knows who really owns them and there isn’t enough potential profit in the franchise to make something, then have someone come out of the woodwork and have to pay them off or go to court. I believe that David Begelman’s production company, Sherwood Studios, sold off the rights in a The Producers style scam to dozens of different people which makes it impossible to do anything now without getting sued and it just isn’t worth the trouble.There are lots of Hollywood people who love it and would love to give it a shot, but nobody will ever bankroll them
And no one could know better than Dr. Lizardo.
There are lots of Hollywood people who love it and would love to give it a shot, but nobody will ever bankroll themThis feels like lots of Hollywood people just trying to be nice to the dozens of obsessive Buckaroo fans.
AVCLUB, STOP! Stop using “The best” in titles. This is just 22 movies coming to Amazon Prime. Many should not be anywhere near the word “best”
Open Water is arguably the best shark movie since Jaws. Most of this list is justifiably forgotten, though.
The Hobbit, eh? Well, have fun!
I don’t know if you get the same movies in the US as we get in Canada, but Amazon Prime has much better selection of classic films here than either Netflix or Disney Plus. Particularly film noir, where they have both Out of the Past and On Dangerous Ground, two great examples of noir.
Which film is that clip from? Image search is giving me nothing.
you’re a fucking horn dog.
On Dangerous Ground, one of the films I mentioned in my post.
Duck Duck Go’s image search failed me.
It’s similar in the US. Mostly because I believe a lot of these older movies may actually be public domain at this point and Amazon is fine with hosting that stuff where the big companies wouldn’t waste their time

I used to be anti-Oxford comma but the older I get the more I realize how stupid people are and so use it more often than not nowadays.
That decision was brave, bold and stupid.(See how daft that looks?)
Yeah. I do exclusively technical writing so I have to make content as simple, readable, and engaging as possible. Stylistically, I never liked Oxford commas but in technical writing it really helps things along.
AP style says to use the Oxford comma when needed, not reflexively. I would have assumed you’d have the AP Stylebook on your volunteer proofreading shelf.
If “Pi (1998), Requiem For A Dream (2000) and Black Swan (2010)” and “Fred Willard, Randall “Tex” Cobb and Reb Scott” don’t have one, “John C. Reilly, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Samuel L. Jackson” shouldn’t have one either (or they should all have one)
shouldn’t have one either (or they should all have one) Per the AP Stylebook, in the cases cited, none of them needs an Oxford comma.
It seems to me that you can remain consistent (i.e. “correct”) if you A) use the Oxford comma all the time, B) never use the Oxford comma (which is madness, but I wouldn’t count it as an actual error), or C) use it only when needed per AP style.But if it’s used and not used willy-nilly whether AP style says you should or not (as it is in this article), it’s definitely wrong in at least one of the instances
