Message to the IMDB: Nooo, don't fall prey!
 

I was browsing around the good ol' IMDB when up pops this:

http://www.imdb.com/ad/?id=15716&spe...ame/nm0911910/

This was the first time I've seen something like this on the IMDB. I hope it doesn't become a frequent thing, as that'll make skipping from page to page looking for new movies quite an annoying chore.

I'm in no position to complain, as I understand their free site must cost quite a bit to maintain and provide...but I pray on all that's holy that this doesn't evolve into something that occurs every time you click a link on their website.

Yep it's all to blame on IGN.

I would hope that Amazon could make more from imdb via sales than having to resort to stuff like that.

I used to hate all the pop ups. Couldn't figure out where the hell they were coming from at first, but eventually realised. IE6 SP2 blocking them nicely though :)

Firefox... no popups... IMDb search engine in the browser itself... glee

So, you were looking at Vincent Ward's filmography.

I use Mozilla, and it still came along. :(

Haha, I wasn't sure if anybody stuck around to see what page I was trying to go to. I was skipping from page to page playing six degrees of separation when I saw "What Dreams May Come" on somebody's filmography. I was impressed with the overall aesthetics of the film, so I decided to see what else he's done.

Interstitials have taken the place of pop-ups, which is fine by me. A takeover ad has never locked up my computer and I can click through it in half a second.

I actually think we launched them on our network before IGN. :)
