And the woman did not answer back, nor did she move a muscle. I certainly hope that some part of her listened to me. The IMDB was one of the first sites I got hooked to, circa 1994. In an instant, I could figure out how many films Moriarty appeared in and simultaneously scratch the Cohen films I'd seen off of the movie viewing list inside my head. Today, the IMDB is close to useless on a dial-up connection.
Every page takes five minutes to load up.
And, given that I couldn't find my Psychotronic Movie Guide , the eldritch cries inside my head were manifold. The IMDB was started by users and made for users. It has since become a corporate showboat for Amazon, offering suggested titles to buy and profiling such terrible movies as Bring It On within a right sidebar. And, ironically, it looks and loads just like an unpleasant dot com elephant that can't stop stampeding your tent before sunset. This troubles me, given that the IMDB is primarily about the content.
