The fall of imdb

Interesting. I don't use it much for individual TV episodes but for movies I still find Wikipedia woefully inadequate. Great sometimes, particularly for trivia, but wildly inconsistent. Especially once off the beaten path.

But then I really do remember when IMDb was woefully incomplete and we loved it still (back when it was the Cardiff Internet Movie Database) and I was emailing my transcription of Jackie Chan movie credits in.

I was really worried when Amazon bought them but I'm surprised at how much it has been left alone instead of being fully integrated into Amazon.
