Bumped into this today on imdb. Linked is a subway station type of a map that connects the
250 top movies on Imdb.com based on genres. Not too usefull, but interesting anyway.

music, movies
Ghost in the Shell is originally a cyberpunk manga which was later adapted into both movies and TV series.
The original movie was made in 1995. It has a sequel "Ghost in the Shell:INNOCENCE", made in 2004. Both of these movies have music made by
Kenji Kawai.
The TV series "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex" are based on the same characters, but happen in a kind of a parallel universe. There is a second season called "2nd gig", and the story is further expanded in the third movie "Solid State Society". This parallel universe has music written by
Yoko Kanno.
Following is a playlist of many of these songs.

internet, movies
As they say on the site, IMDb today turns 18. It started off before internet browsers, as a series of scripts that made the collection of credits and other info collected on a usegroup searchable.
They also say the actual name came some 4 years later.
Another reminder of how new the internet is.

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.
