IMDB.com

I like IMDB.com. If you're anything like me, you don't watch a movie without heading to IMDB.com before the credits start rolling to find out all you can about the film--especially the trivia. Not sure why, but I like to know what actors were originally considered for certain parts or who had a cameo in what movie.

IMDB.com is also great for finding out the names of well-known actors in obscure roles--the kind of information that winning bets are made of. And it's a huge help in confirming your six degrees from Kevin Bacon.

There's a lot of useful useless knowledge in my brain from years of watching Saved by the Bell, The Simpsons, Full House and many other shows of the 80s/90s. And thanks to IMDB.com, this exorbitant amount of information has been compounded exponentially in recent years. Don't tell my parents, but I think I forget college because I needed to make room in my brain for all the anachronisms and continuity goofs in Braveheart.

  1. Scott always points out the mistakes in Braveheart! It makes me angry because now I notice them everytime I'm watching it!

    IMDB is great though- it def. helped me win many battles with Scott!
