Please tell me the OP is not serious. I hate to be a snob, but are the mods going to have to start screening the noob posts around here? There have been some really weird topics from them lately.
Perhaps a few should lurk awhile before jumping right in. Ok, but thanks for the info you were trying to be helpful. |
Geeze what's with all the negativity around here. I was just trying to post a helpful website. Since movies are a hobby for all of us, I thought you'd all like to know about imdb. I guess not.

Thanks for trying to be helpful, but not very many people that enjoy movies don't know what imdb is. It's just one of those things that everybody knows about. There have been some joke posts in this thread but honestly it would be like somebody going to a sports message board and saying something like "I just found this great website. It has everything you'd ever want to know about sports. Here it is" http://espn.go.com/ Or "Here's a great search engine that I just found." http://www.google.com/ |

When I go to any new forum I check it out a awhile before posting a new thread. You know, do a search, see if I'm about to create a duplicate. If you take the chance to create a thread without doing your homework be ready for a little ribbing. That's all. ;) Welcome to DVDtalk by the way. :) |

Technically (and I know some will dispute this), it's not even an acronym, it's an abbreviation. An acronym forms a word, like "laser" {L(ight) A(mplification by) S(timulated) E(mission of) R(adiation)}.
Some abbreviations become de facto acronyms because they have become words in themselves (like "DVD"), but I don't think IMDB has reached that level. |

Actually, "initialism" would be a better word to describe "IMDb."

IMDB? Google? Damn... I am curious. Now if someone would please just invent a keyboard so I could type (I believe that's what you would do with a keyboard) the address (is that what is called?) or maybe someone could invent some sort of clicky thing where I could just click a word and go to the site? Anyone??

lowenbotten, if you are not some one just playing a joke, welcome. imdb.com is a great site, and here are a few more you may be interested in>
A good site for DVD prices. http://www.dvdtalk.com/price.html/ Release Dates and DVD news. http://www.davisdvd.com/ A great program for cataloging your DVD collection. http://www.intervocative.com/ Another site for release dates, cover images, and DVD news. http://www.dvdactive.com/home/index.html And just some helpful advice, you have only 8 posts, I think it may be worth signing up under another name, and save yourself being reminded of this thread for many years to come. -smile- |
The last thing to do is to tell a troll to get more usernames. -ohbfrank-
|
All jokes aside. Does anyone know of a site where I could search for other internet sites. I want to be able to type in a subject, and get a list of sites about it.

You know, I never even discovered the PETER PAN GUY until 2002, and posted on a forum that OMG you need to check this guy out. The public anal tobogganing was rude and sudden, unlubed and full of chafey badness.
CHAFEY. BADNESS. |
that imdb site you posted is pretty cool, but i can't find the link to download the movies? do you think i need to upgrade my mosiac browser?!?!?!?
|
You'll need one of those new 9600 Baud modems to download movies quickly. Just make sure you have a spare serial port on your computer though.

I called 1995 with this information, and everyone got excited!
