A couple notes regarding the GitHub repo.

First, adding a `.gitignore` with at least the following:

  .*.swp
  *.swp

Would help.

Second, committing the generated `gem` artifacts is not a good practice. Either publish[0] it or let those who use it build and distribute it themselves.

off-topic but why is there a vim swap file in the repo? https://github.com/isene/IMDB/blob/main/.imdb.swp

Cool project. I've been using this IMDB interface and really like its simplicity: https://github.com/zyachel/libremdb

It would be great to have an ability to browse all the imdb movies/tv series, not just top 250 - but I like the direction :)

This could be cool. I'm recently scouring lists looking for sleepers made 1930s-1980s.

Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse, if you haven't seen it yet.

I'll watch it this week. Thanks!

IMDB Virtual Terminal Browser. I was hoping for a console browser.

It's cool.

How does this access the IMDB api? I thought amazon had some pretty extreme pricing tiers for that.

it doesn't. it uses https://www.themoviedb.org/ and not imdb

It uses both.

It scrapes.

I am not disagreeing with you, I was just pointing out that the cli tool does not use the API but scrapes.
