History Website / IMDb

[[http://www.imdb.com The Internet Movie Database]], a website that records every movie ever released, along with television series and episodes, video games, actors, voice actors, major characters, and so on and so forth. Each movie has its own forums, and these forums are often plagued by {{Troll}}s and {{Sockpuppet}}s -- particularly the "Politics" and "Soapbox" subforums, which are troll-magnets. You'll more than likely find every variant of FanDumb and HateDumb ever named on these forums and [[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement to put it simply]] you'll either be highly amused at their antics or lose your faith in humanity.

Users can give 1-10 grades to movies. After the death of HeathLedger, many users [[PraisingShowsYouDontWatch pre-emptively gave]] ''Film/TheDarkKnight'' a perfect 10 rating, while at the same time giving perennial high rankers such as ''Film/TheGodfather'' a rating of 1. Prior to the release of ''The Twilight Saga: New Moon'' the more avid of the ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' FanDumb gave mass ratings of 10 to the film [[PraisingShowsYouDontWatch before it even came to theaters]], luckily /b/ was there to even it out with a healthy dose of 1s [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch without even seeing it]].

It doesn't help that most of these trolls don't seem to know all that much about movie history or how they are made, either.

Due largely to the infamous trolling that goes on and the antics with the rating system, the site is pretty much considered to be an AcceptableTarget if you go to any other movie forum. Particularly hated posters will often be called "practically an [=IMDb=] poster" or something along the lines.

!!Tropes that apply to the IMDB:
* SpoiledByTheFormat: When looking up a TV series on the site, you'll see each actor listed on the main page of the series with the number of episodes they appear in. Woe to you if you've just gotten interested in a series and see that one of the main characters appears in less episode than the rest of the cast - it sometimes can lead to the realization that someone is going to be KilledOffForReal or PutOnABus.
