    I use their Fire Stick to stream movies and shows for $Free.99 with third party apps not found in the app store. Can’t do that with restricted Roku. Thanks Amazon!

    Amazon is an anti American communist company. They do not support our 2nd ammendment nor our 1st. Their media influence grows & grows

    I rarely find anything to watch on Prime and hate the way paid shows are mixed in with Prime material. I rarely ever bother to watch and choose Netflix instead.

      I’m curious, like actually curious. Do you think Google will go under after Tesla? I mean do you think Tesla would beat Google?

    Getting people to spend more money is what all companies do not just Amazon. There is no reason to have a business if you are not going to grow it and make money.

    Of course they want our money. They are a business, not a charity.

    Expect MGM+ as a Prime video add-on for additional $14.99/month

    Don’t give Amazon any more money!

    Why didn’t they buy Disney?

    Any James Bond movie that wasn’t written by the original writer Ian Fleming is a rip off & doesn’t count IMO.

    MGM is garbage. Whoever at Amazon is doing that, needs to be fired from the company.

    Amazon wants to ruin Bond and I bet they will mess with the original movies. Get physical copies, burn them to a drive while you can. Based on what they did to Jack Ryan, I fear the worst for Bond. I’ve made my peace with this. It was a good run.

      No, Warner Bros owns the pre 1986 MGM library

      Some of the most iconic mgm ip’s are in WB now. WB recently made a movie with Tom and Jerry.

    Poor fools. They bought a worthless company. No one even cares about James Bond anymore, and that’s their top franchise, of which they won’t even have any control over.

    I thought Paramount/P+ owned the rights to MGM?

    I would rather have Amazon buy MGM than Disney buying MGM. Disney would ruin MGM and its movies.

    Instead of reboots and spinoff’s how about new stuff that the reboots and spinoffs are made from?

      It’s funny people STILL have to be reminded of the “Turner library” deal (which was 35 years ago, not 20 as the video claims). In Hollywood historical terms, today’s MGM is more United Artists than the MGM of old; Bond & Rocky both came to MGM (and survived the Turner library deal) via UA. If not for Michael Cimino’s Heaven’s Gate (now considered a classic but such a HUGE flop at the time that it forced UA to sell out to MGM even during the first of THREE times Kirk Kerkorian cased the joint — arguably the ONLY movie to flop SO badly that it sank a major studio all by itself), Leo might be completely dead by now instead of his 2021 CGI upgrade (not to mention Oscar buzz — Billie Eilish’s No Time to Die theme & Jennifer Hudson’s turn as Aretha Franklin in Respect might have won Oscars THIS year if the films hadn’t been delayed; NTTD was originally supposed to be CGI Leo’s debut) making him into Bezos bait. 😉

    It is not about movies, it is about monopolies. The Gov’t just gave Amazon 10 billion for a contract that didn’t go to Amazon…

    Sequels, spinoffs and reboots ….. yay! ….. just what we need more and more cheap to make unoriginal TV and Movie content. No originality in Hollywood these days.
