Lennon and McCartney double take

Fans of The Beatles did a double take on Monday when Sean Ono Lennon, the only son of the late John Lennon and Yoko Ono, posted a selfie with James McCartney, the son of Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney, to Instagram.

The two famous offspring certainly have some striking similarities to their famous fathers, not least of which is their love of music.

In the shot, which is simply captioned, “Peekaboo,” James is holding his acoustic guitar, and giving a smile just like his dad.

[3/12/18] Fandano joins Movies Anywhere

***

[10/12/17] Movies Anywhere is a new service that solves a major problem.

Using a single app, you can now access your Amazon, iTunes, Google and Vudu movie libraries. For real. That not only eliminates the hassles of jumping among four different services depending on what you want to watch, but also dissolves some platform barriers. For example, Roku owners can watch movies purchased from iTunes. Amazon Fire tablet owners can watch Google Play movies, and so on.

Ready to get started? Movies Anywhere is free, and when you connect at least two of the aforementioned services (which Movies Anywhere refers to as "retailers"), you'll score five free movies:
  • "Big Hero 6"
  • "Ghostbusters (2016)"
  • "Ice Age"
  • "Jason Bourne"
  • "The Lego Movie"
[Actually I don't use the Movies Anywhere app.  Your movies largely migrate to all the services, so I generally use Amazon Video, or Vudu, or iTunes.

Most, but not every movie is supported however.  And no TV yet.]
