IMDB

One of the websites I have been going to for years is the Internet Movie Database.  It's because the information seems to be factual and I can see everything an actor has done on film when I want to know "What's the name of that movie?"  Or "Who is that guy?"  Or, "What else has she been in?" Or "How old is that lady?"

The site has a feature where you can see actors paired together and that's cool if you want to know how many Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant films there are; or how many Ingrid Bergman films with Cary Grant there are.  There are also character pages so you can see a list of everyone who's played Cleopatra, for instance.  Or Spiderman.  Isn't there a new Spiderman trilogy that starts every five years?  What happened to the old ones?

You can also see estimated profits and how many awards a person or a movie received.

Sometimes I am shocked to see an actor with a few roles upcoming that have been announced.  Some have one or two listed; and most have none.  But every once in awhile there is someone with so much work.

  1. One time I was shocked to see how many roles the Hercules tv star had in the works- I think this was after his role in God Is Not Dead.

    But the above referenced star's upcoming release schedule is amazingly more prolific than any I have ever seen.

  2. Sorry IMDB: grammatically it's either Internet Movie Data Base or IMD. You can't have it both ways.

    Oh wait, you can. Alternate facts.
