The fall of imdb

It is definitely a poor piece of UI design (at minimum the ellipsis should link to the detailed section of the actors page. But it isn't a new element of their design so isn't a sign of any recent decline.

Wow. I had no idea.

I have to say, to me this deserves a big FAIL stamp. If I go to the site and want to know who played the Monarch, I need to click each voice actor's name, and even then I have to look at this snarl of supposed information. I guess I'd just search for the character name on each actor's page, but when I can go to wikipedia and find it on one page without clicking through different profiles, why the hell wouldn't I?

I'm willing to bet that most of my recent searches have been crippled by this very problem. Guess I'll come back for movie info, and nothing else.

I suppose I am pleased to learn that IMDb does still have the info, but if you can't find easily it it's pretty pointless.
