If we watch a movie and I want to know more about someone, I usually go there. Anyone else enjoy reading about actors/actresses?

I use the site frequently. Usually it's to look up "Hey, wasn't he in ...?" questions. It's great!

Yes, this is how we use it. We pause the video or use the commercial breaks to answer those questions that otherwise would nag at us all through the show.

Embarrassed to say-- I check the news on IMDB every morning (def. guilty pleasure).

She remembers faces like a cop. Kills me. :D

She can see someone for a split second and then rattle off all the movies that person has ever been in. It's a gift.

I use it. If I see a movie with an actor I'm impressed with I like to see what else he's been in.

I also like the trivia and goofs! :0)

You can find all sorts of interesting information, including your favorite lines from movies or TV, in case there's a Princess Bride thread going on and you haven't memorized the script so you can't put in your two cents' worth, lol.

All the time! It's a great source for all sorts of trivia.

Yep. I visit it frequently. Especially, when we are watching an animated movie and I can't quite place the voice of a character. I have to look it up.

The same way here also. Usually, it's to solve a bet between DH and I when we argue about "Isn't that the guy....?"
I usually lose.

I use IMDb frequently, but stopped contributing when Amazon bought it, what, 10 years ago?

Oh yes. After a movie we have done that many times! "Where have I seen him before..." I enjoy knowing what they did and how varied an actor can be.

But are we the only geeks who watch the movie and simultaneously look things up on IMDB with our laptops? We often comment to each other what incredible dorks we are :D

We find it very useful and frequent it often.

It's one of my favorites! I'm not sure why I get such a kick out of all that useless trivia...

Sometimes, if I find a new actor/actress/director I like, I'll use it to see if they've done anything else I might be interested in. Found lots of good movies that way!:o

Don't be embarrassed. I use it once a week to check upcoming listings for the actor I'm currently addicted to. :)

Sure do. If I enjoy a movie, sometimes I look for other things the actors or directors have done. And it's funny/depressing to see how young they are!

After every movie he sees, he has to go to IMDB, look the movie up, then check out every actor who was in it, add all their movies to our Netflix queue, and so on. I've asked him to stop doing this, our queue is getting out of hand!

I'm an avid imdb.com user also! There is just tons of information about the movies.

Here's a similar site for voice actors: http://voicechasers.com/

And I love IMDB - I can get stuck there for almost as long as I can get stuck here! ;)
