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.

    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!
