MovieLink free download

Movies-Online.jpg

If you've been wanting to test out a downloadable movie service, or you'd just like to relax and watch a free movie on your computer, here's a link to southwest.com that will allow you to get a free movie download from MovieLink. They don't support Mozilla, BTW. So, if you're using it, grit your teeth and open IE. I did it, and I'm still alive... I think.

All you have to do is provide an email address so they can send you an email containing a code and a link to get started. Here's the juicy info from the e-mail I got.

1. Rent a movie at southwest.movielink.com.
2. Enter this Movielink Money code at checkout: .
3. Download and enjoy your movie…our treat!
Code valid until 11:59 p.m. PT on 8-31-05.

NOT READY TO RENT? You can register now and use your $5 later. Just visit the My Account section and go to My Wallet to enter your code. The $5 in Movielink Money™ will be deposited into your Movielink Wallet which you can apply to future transactions. Any unused balance will be valid until 11:59 p.m. PT on August 31, 2005. We hope you enjoy the speed and convenience of downloading movies with Movielink.

You can click the unsubscribe button on that email to quit receiving movielink email.

Here's a list of the movies they're showing on their teaser page (only a small selection of the movies they offer, I assume):

Shaun of the Dead
Ray
Mr. 3000
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
The Grudge
Shall We Dance?
The Manchurian Candidate

I'm gonna give it a try and post the results. I hope it saves someone a trip to blockbuster one weekend.

I'm listening to:
Jackson 5 - Never Can Say Goodbye
