My Movie Votes List
Monday, February 05, 2007
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.trivialbeing.net/page.php?p=movievotes (or under the "My Movie Ratings" link to the right)
