An acronym for "Internet Movie Database." A website with the intention of being a go-to for film enthusiasts who wish to research films, actors, directors, etc. And also have the opportunity to discuss those films and people on one of many thousand message boards available on the site.
However,
even the best intentions could not save IMDb from the internet. It is now basically a breeding ground for trolls, pricks and lifeless douchebags who spend all day, every day fighting,
bitching and annoying eachother on the message boards. It's pretty much impossible to have a decent, civilized conversation on IMDb anymore thanks to the fucktards who encompass 90% of its audience.
Other current problems with the site include:
-Films being massively downvoted by trolls and
haters, meaning that most of the user-
average scores on the site cannot be trusted anymore.
-An on-going witch hunt for so-called "studio plants." (people who have allegedly been paid by studios to give positive reviews to films) The problem is that because 90% of IMDb's audience is made of
haters, if you
even try to admit that you
like a film, there's about a 50% chance you will be labeled a "studio plant." (Even if you obviously are not)
-People spending all-day, every-day asking if every male actor is gay or not on the message boards.
-Similarly,
sad,
lonely men pining away on just about every message board for every actress about how much they love them and want to
bang them.
Joseph knew that IMDb would be
able to answer his
question about that one movie with Nathan Fillion a few years ago, but he didn't want to go to IMDb, because he knew the
second he went on the message boards, he would get so angry he'd vomit.
