I have no idea what the economics of the movie business is, especially with all the new Amazon, Netflix, Showtime, AMC, SyFy, and HBO series. But I am intrigued with what feels like a new type of show — the six-to-eight-hour movie. It's a little too long to watch in one setting, but you can watch it over a three- to five-day period.

Amazon's identity and goals are never clear and always fluid, which makes the company destabilizing and intimidating.
