Why Does IMDB Want a Credit Card To Post In Their Forum?
Wednesday, July 15th, 2009I’ve never posted to IMDB forums, but I read them a lot. These are the posts at the bottom of a movie or person, users post questions or comments or what they’ve learned.
Today I felt compelled to post a thought and comment about a movie I just watched. Even though I am a registered user the site says:
Registered users can post and have control over board viewing options. We’d like to hear what you have to say! Register/Login now
Clicking Start a New Topic brings me to a page about how to post:
Interesting, I’ve been logged in for a while and my account is quite old, so why do they need to verify me now? OK, Verify me.
Then BOOM! The next page has some pretty heavy validation options just for posting in their forums.
The three options are: login to Amazon, which is the least resistant, but still weird. Offer up my credit card, yeah right. Lastly give em my phone number. Serious? I just wanna post on your annoying site. Even the FAQ on the right column offers no reason except that I then use IMDB’s “cool features”.
This is one of the reasons I started abmoviedb.com (which is still be worked on) – so I didn’t have to deal with IMDB’s horrible, horrible interface and spam ridden website.
I’ll just post my thoughts here anyway. I watched the documentary ‘American Teen‘. It was fine and all, then there was a scene of the basket ball player character playing Solitaire on his Windows computer. As he mentions how he has nothing, he loses at Solitaire, and in large text prints the phrase “You Lost” over the screen. Anyone (and that’s about everyone in the world) has played this card game and knows no such works are displayed like that. Made me think the movie was fake. Sure enough there some talk about it on the boards where I was going to put my 2 cents. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0486259/board/thread/141182244?d=142571727&p=1#142571727 (im not even linking it).
Roger Ebert Hates Transformers 2
Wednesday, June 24th, 2009I love it when he hates movies.
“The plot is incomprehensible. The dialog of the Autobots, Deceptibots and Otherbots is meaningless word flap. Their accents are Brooklyese, British and hip-hop, as befits a race from the distant stars. Their appearance looks like junkyard throw-up. They are dumb as a rock. They share the film with human characters who are much more interesting, and that is very faint praise indeed.”
Rainy Sunday MovieFest
Sunday, May 3rd, 2009Crummy day outside, give me opportunity to watch movies while I work.
Gran Torino
A tale of an old crotchety man, who isn’t happy with the current state of the old neighborhood which he refuses to move out of.
He befriends a young asian family and get into a scuff with neighborhood gangs. Oh, and everyone wants his Gran Torino.
Hamlet 2
A very surprising funny-as-hell movie! Steve Coogan plays Dana, a failed actor and theater director who has been making bad plays for his school for years. When budget cuts include the drama department, he decides to put a controversial version of a sequel to Hamlet, which includes Jesus.
The cast of this movie is perfect including Elizabeth Shue as herself. Probably worth just seeing her talk about Hollywood alone.
