It’s a very popular book (same author as The Martian) and especially the audiobook version. The movie is terrific.

It’s an add-on subscription to Prime for $8. There’s a 7-day trial if you only want to watch PHM.

I use it to watch From. There’s also a pretty good show called Rogue Heroes about the formation of the British SAS in North Africa during WWII. It also has its random assortment of movies like any other streaming service. As I was checking I noticed it has Reign of Fire, so now I’m rewatching it

Wasn’t there a post a few months ago where a poster stated that PHM was a huge gamble and possibly could lose money?


It wouldn’t surprise me. Surely someone that hadn’t read the book.

Yes, I'm talking REIGN OF FIRE. This is like a futuristic dragon version of Top Gun. Only Maverick is English and Goose doesn't die. And none of them fly a plane.


You had quite the way with words and I agree with all of them. It’s probably one of my most rewatched movies and easily the best dragon movie we may ever see. Suck it, Toothless.

And as soon as it is streaming for free on one of the services,

Obviously it'll be a Prime Video exclusive at first, but once it makes it on to the other platforms, and on broadcast TV in a couple of years this will absolutely be one of the movies that she can't turn past, even though she'll have seen it a thousand times by then.

My whole thing back then was pretty much be as unserious as possible. 15 years later it's still kind of my thing but just not as goofy.

Just a heads up this is now streaming for free on MGM+ or a $6 rental from any streaming app that allows it.

Watched it a couple of nights ago. Really enjoyed it. Not enough good, clean, feel good movies these days. Some beautiful, trippy stuff they put on the screen.

A few years back now, Cox Cable used to offer Epix as a movie channel, for next to nothing. It was basically MGM+ in the infancy stage. When I kept cable but also started streaming on my firestick, I could sign into the Epix app, with my Cox provider login.

Now that Amazon has bought out MGM, it's kind of a forgotten stepchild. All the MGM stuff should have been folded into Prime, to improve the value. You'd get shows like From, SAS Rogue Heroes, Pennyworth, Counterpart, Chapelwaite, etc added to the mix, several of which I think would have become big with a much wider audience.

think about what that movie really was, 3 hours of ryan gosling acting against green screen. that's as impressive as tom hanks in cast away or matt damon in the martian. he had nobody to react too all rocky's dialogue was added in the editing room.

hey stupid question here…
I spaced out when grace and rocky were figuring out how to to communicate, then all of a sudden rocky is speaking English

can someone explain what exactly they did to be able to communicate like that?
