My Movie Votes List

After wor­king on the artist ima­ges pro­ject, essen­tially a site that shows you an image of any musi­cal artist you spe­cify, I deci­ded to home my efforts on movies. IMDB has all the movie details you could ever need. Using a simi­lar sys­tem I have devi­sed a method (which again will not be made public) to obtain direc­tor, pos­ter image, year, run time, plot out­line, rating and most impor­tantly title when given an IMDB num­ber (the num­bers with which movies are cata­lo­gued). On each movie load the infor­ma­tion and image is sto­red or cached respectively.

My first use for this new script is to dis­play my IMDB movie votes on my blog in a neat little pac­kage. Recently my votes list was made public by IMDB so I did not have to create a bot to login etc. Scra­ping the IMDB num­bers and my votes from this page has allo­wed me to enter the movies into my ser­vice and create a sexy little list. You can now find this list of 500 movies here: http://​fofr​.tri​vial​being​.net/​p​a​g​e​.​p​h​p​?​p​=​m​o​v​i​e​v​o​tes (or under the “My Movie Ratings” link to the right)
