HBO Max Slashes Price In Half After HBO Leaves Amazon Channels, In Bid To Stem Expected Subscriber Losses
WarnerMedia is offering a half-off discount on HBO Max now that HBO is no longer available on Amazon Prime Video Channels . Today through September 26, the monthly subscription cost will be $7.49 for up to six months for anyone who had accessed HBO via the Channels platform. The discount is available to both new and returning subscribers. The move is aimed at counteracting the inevitable loss of subscribers due to management’s decision — set in motion two years ago — to break from Amazon Channels. The platform removed HBO earlier this week. HBO Max, which encompasses all of HBO’s programming and adds 13,000 hours of additional movie and TV fare, will still be distributed via Amazon Fire TV, which is a different part of the Amazon empire. The Channels business has enabled Amazon to control streaming data to a degree that vexed WarnerMedia and its parent company, AT&T . About five million subscriptions to HBO Max are expected to be leaving the books in the near term, …

Jane Powell, Hollywood golden-age Musicals Star Passes Away At 92
Jane Powell, the bright-eyed, operatic-voiced star of Hollywood's golden age musicals who sang with Howard Keel in "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" and danced with Fred Astaire in "Royal Wedding" has died. She was 92. Powell died Thursday at her Wilton, Connecticut, home, longtime friend Susan Granger said. Granger said Powell died of natural causes. "Jane was the most wonderful friend," Granger said. "She was candid, she was honest. You never asked Jane a question you didn't want an absolutely honest answer to." Granger was a youngster when she met the then-teenaged Powell, who was making her film debut in 1944's "Song of the Open Road", directed by Granger's father, S Sylvan Simon. She performed virtually her whole life, starting about age 5 as a singing prodigy on radio in Portland, Oregon. On screen, she quickly graduated from teen roles to the lavish musical productions that were a 20th-century Hollywood staple. Her 1950 casting in "Royal Wedding" came …

Lindsey Buckingham Brings Ripping Guitar Solos to Late-Night With ‘On the Wrong Side’
Lindsey Buckingham stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to perform his new song, “On the Wrong Side,” Thursday, September 16th. “On the Wrong Side” moves with a restless rock & roll rush, and the performance ended with some dizzying guitar soloing from Buckingham. But the most thrilling moment — perhaps unsurprisingly — were the rich, full-band harmonies on the chorus, “I’m outta pity/I’m outta time/Another city, another crime/I’m on the wrong side.” “On the Wrong Side” appears on Buckingham’s new eponymous solo album, which arrives Friday, September 17th. Lindsey Buckingham is the singer-songwriter’s first solo album since 2011’s Seeds We Sow , although it also follows his 2017 self-titled collaborative effort with former Fleetwood Mac bandmate Christine McVie. The new solo album is Buckingham’s first record since he left Fleetwood Mac in 2018. Earlier this month, Buckingham launched a North American tour in support of the record, and it’s set to wrap …
Scott Thorson, Last Living Wonderland Murders Witness, Is Finally Free
In the early hours of July 1st, 1981, for the umpteenth time in his life, Scott Thorson found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. Specifically, he was at a drug kingpin’s house when the man gave the order for one of Los Angeles’ most infamous mass killings: the Wonderland murders , where four people were beaten to death in a house in Laurel Canyon. At 62, Thorson has had a fever-dream of a life so far, bizarre in more ways than most people would care to fathom. He is perhaps best-known as Liberace ’s former lover. Matt Damon played him opposite Michael Douglas in the 2013 HBO movie Behind the Candelabra , based on Thorson’s tell-all book by the same name about his relationship with the famous pianist. He’s seen some things. Today, Thorson is the last person alive with firsthand knowledge of the notorious massacre, at least among those who are willing to admit to it. He is also a newly free man, speaking to Rolling Stone from Las Vegas in his first interview …

The Real Story of Occupy Wall Street Is What’s Happened Since
At the height of last year’s Black Lives Matter uprising, a recording surfaced of a call President Trump held with state governors. In it, he made a comparison: “This is like Occupy Wall Street .” He urged them to waste no time in repeating the coordinated police assaults that had swept away the Occupy encampments across the country. Until the Occupy crackdown began, he told the governors, “It was a disaster.” Trump’s political career had a kind of origin story in Occupy Wall Street, which began in Zuccotti Park 10 years ago today. In early 2012, his eventual campaign chief and White House adviser Steve Bannon was directing a take-down film on the movement, featuring blogger and provocateur Andrew Breitbart. Breitbart suddenly died during production and Bannon took control of Breitbart’s company, which he turned into the “platform of the alt-right” that would help land Trump in the presidency. For Bannon, as with Trump on his call with the governors, Occupy revealed an enemy that …
