Introducing Amazon Video On Demand
by Armchair Commentary at 4:48 PM PDT, September 3, 2008
Downloading movies and TV shows is fine, but watching something immediately ... now, that's the stuff! And you can do exactly that at the just-launched Amazon Video On Demand. It's a new, PC and Mac-friendly way to enjoy shows like Heroes and movies like The Bank Job immediately. Miss this week's episode of Gossip Girl? Don't fret--it's here, commercial-free. And you can sign up for a TV Pass to guarantee that you'll get every episode as it airs (and save at least 5%).
Oh, and did I mention that the first couple of minutes of pretty much every title is free? Yup, it's true: You can try before you buy. We've also got a lot of stuff that's totally free: Watch it and it's yours today--and down the road. Speaking of down the road, once you've purchased something, you'll be able to access it later in Your Video Library. You don't even need to be at your own computer--you just have to be able to sign in to your Amazon account (and, of course, be connected to the web). Watch The Office at the office (you know, when you're on a break). Watch Waiting while you're waiting for a table at a restaurant. You'll still be able to do the download thing at Amazon Video On Demand, of course. Just use our Unbox video player and take your videos on the go, or download them to your TiVo DVR. Give it a try with a free episode of Heroes, 30 Rock or Lipstick Jungle. And let us know what you think (there's a feedback link in the video player on our new product detail pages). -- Stephanie Reid-Simons, TV Demander Best DVDs of September 2008: "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" - Season Three

More Fun with Celebrity Interviews
by Armchair Commentary at 9:11 AM PDT, August 22, 2008
As those who were kind enough to watch my video from the Stargate Continuum red carpet already know, I'm the single coolest, most naturally-gifted celebrity interviewer the world has ever known. (Haha--sarcasm!) Below, you can hear me titter incessantly in the background as I try to professionally interview the guys from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. (This is a hilarious show, BTW.) And ask Jensen Ackles from Supernatural the de rigueur question about Dean's (his character's) beloved Impala/his trip to Hell and back. Again, a huge thanks the folks who were hapless enough to stumble in front of my camera--especially Rob McElhenney (Mac from It's Always Sunny)--for not being too cool to have his picture taken with the world's foremost entertainment journalist. --Leah (PS: New seasons of both Supernatural and Always Sunny are pre-order-able now. Just saying.)
Freebie Watch: Are You Ready for Some Football?
by Armchair Commentary at 6:05 PM PDT, August 21, 2008
I love NFL Films. The booming voiceover. The super slo-mo. I swear, they could make turf toe seem majestic. So I'm feasting on their handiwork in the form of a bunch of free past-season recaps in our NFL Network store -- even the ones that aren't about my team, the Seahawks (hurry, they're only free through Tuesday). The New York Giants' story has the happiest ending, of course, so I've attached a preview of that one (you can get the whole thing here). -- Stephanie Reid-Simons, Unbox TV Freak How to Be A Rock Star

Amazon.com Exclusive: Building the Bird's Nest
by Armchair Commentary at 3:46 PM PDT, August 13, 2008
To me, Beijing's Olympics stadium -- dubbed "The Bird's Nest" -- looks like one of those impossible places, elaborately imagined by Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron but impossible to translate in the real world. (As someone who lives near the mind-blowing work of Frank Gehry and Rem Koolhaas I should know better, of course.) But Bird's Nest is about more than architectural marvels: It's revelatory of culture, of the ways history is written -- and rewritten -- and of the way people and politics intersect. It's available only at Amazon Unbox, to rent or buy, starting at $2.99. (And you can a taste of the bold vision with the preview below.) -- Stephanie Reid-Simons zon Bernie Mac, 1957-2008
