Site that I would use from the website presentations

The site from the presentations that I think I would use is imdb.com. This site is a great place to go if I have a question about a movie, or need to look an actor or actress up to see their history. The site is a great one for everyone, not just people who work in the movie industry. It is a great resource for movie research or just to find out some random piece of trivia information. I first learned about this site in my Introduction to Mass Communications class and use it all the time. For example, I just saw “V for Vendetta,” and thought it was a great movie. I wanted to figure out who played the character “V” since his face is never shown in the movie, so I went right to the site, and entered the movie’s title into the search box that is located conveniently at the top of the home page. The page came right up in the search results, and as soon as I clicked on the page for the movie, I knew that Hugo Weaving, the man who played Agent Smith in the Matrix movies, played “V.” Also, I found out a lot of interesting information about the movie, and even found information about errors or mistakes in the movie. From that page, I can access every character and who played them, and then go to an actor or actresses site within IMDB to find out what they have been in before, and other important information about their history in Hollywood.

If a person has a question about a movie or an actor, even if they have only a fraction of the information, this is the site to go to. For example, one night, while at dinner with my parents at a little hole in the wall restaurant, I saw a man who looked just like an actor I had seen in a movie. It was going to drive me nuts until I could figure out what his name was. I knew what it was and what the movie was, but I just couldn’t remember his name. So I went on the site, and searched. I searched by a bunch of different keywords I knew were in the plot (the more I searched the more I remembered), and finally, I found it. The movie I remembered was “Aspen Extreme.” It came out in 1993 and was one of my favorite movies at the time. I just couldn’t remember what the title was. The actor I saw is Peter Berg, and I remember him from that movie specifically, and since I could remember some of the bigger plot points, I could search through them and figure it out. The site is perfect for times like those. It may take a little while, but I knew I would find it eventually, especially with the extensiveness of the site. If it ever was a movie, mainstream, foreign, independent, or otherwise, it will be on this site, and a user will be able to find it. I think that is what makes the site so popular. It is a one-stop-shop for movie information and is easy to use for most people. I think it is a fantastic site and will continue to use it, until, if it’s possible, something else better comes out.
