Tommy John sure is good, but a little pricey. Calvin Klein and Target's Den Of Thieves are essentially the same thing for 1/3 the price

Tommy John is the iPhone of underwear. You can buy knockoffs if you want, but it's by far the best thing to wear next to your junk. Life-changing.Quote:

I just checked. It only says "HD" for Americans. Looks OK to me.
Where are you seeing that? PS - just started looking into Streaming - have my TV connected via WiFi. I don't see HD either on the web site or anywhere on the TV app.Quote:

Been trying to figure this out tooQuote:

That'll stop the next movie or show in your list from playing, but it won't stop Amazon from promoting their own shit in that space (eg: "Amazon Originals" or whatever).

How often does Amazon change what's free and what's not? I was thinking of watching The Sopranos when I saw that it was free - but it isn't anymore. A friend had already started to watch and is now hooked - and now he has to pay.
Prime just added a bunch of titles. Re-watched Miami Blues last night. Also, Bad Company (with a young Jeff Bridges) is worth checking out. They also have the recent Light of my Life.
Hmm, I just realized this thread was in Off Topic. I think we need a thread where people locate good films to watch on Amazon Prime? Is there some hatred against Amazon Prime - why does such a thread not exist?
Anyway, I've been wanting to rewatch Dodsworth (1936) for a long time and usually Prime has awful copies of the old movies but in this case the transfer was fine (not great) - and this is a great movie!
Isn't it Amazon Prime Day soon?
This is my major beef with Prime --- the transfers are a crapshoot. They have a buncha hard to find Zhang Yimou movies from the early 90s but they look like VHS bootlegs streamed at 380p.Quote:

instantwatcher.com tooQuote:

It's a little easier to find things using a web browser - but I just noticed Dafoe's first film Loveless by Bigelow (via the tv app) which everyone should check out! Most of the old film transfers are awful and it hurts more now that I have a very large screen. Two films I wanted to rewatch (Non-Stop New York and Stagecoach) are unwatchable due to horrific quality.Quote:

One interesting thing about Prime are these free trials. You can get weekly free trials several times a year it appears. I did an HBO trial week back in May and it looks like it's letting me start another one if I wanted to. Doing a Showtime trial now which I'll cancel before the week is done. Prime has free trials from several different companies - you might be able to cycle through them all throughout the year and end up not paying anything extra. Just remember to cancel before the trial is done.
Bad Company is a classic.Quote:
