The Dark Hack

It seems there are more problems to IMDb than just often unavailability.
As you may now, "The Dark Knight" is currently occupying the N#1 slot at the Top250 list, so I check in to see how the grade is changing. You know how it goes, with all the hype, it takes some time for a realistic grade to form. I believe the movie is very good, but a grade of 9.7 that it had for a while is probably not realistic
Well today I was supprised, since the status was garbled, like this:
Going into user mode in Opera (thru the View bar, or if you don't have it, "View->Style->User mode"), shows the following:
Weird eh? The bottom list of course doesn't list the movie.
A web search shows that other people have noticed, and slashfilm says that some other films have been tampered with, for instance "Iron Man" and "WALL-E" don't have ratings at all.

Still, the stuff about it being the greatest film of all time is silly to me. I don't know what your media is like over there, but in the States we have like 50 cable channels dedicated to making lists of the top... whatever of all time. 99% of the time, the top 10 were made in the last 5 years.
Is it because only kids are voting, or because it's just a sales gimmick?
I don't know, but it explains why I haven't had cable in so many years.

The Dark Knight could be the best super hero movie made, or at least close. I would also guess that it could be among the best movies ever made, though it will take a bit of time and watching it a few more times before being sure.
Curently the movie is #3 at IMDb right after Shawshank Redemption and Godfather, so a bit more realistic I guess. Still as they say, the IMDb top 250 is a popularity contest more or less.
