thank you for your quick reply. as soon as i finish downton abbey, i'll be posting something. i took a glance real quick and tried to avoid spoilers which can't be helped. watching a movie then coming here is the best thing but watching a tv series is another! i caught a quick glimpse of one thread and i said "ahhh i'm outta here" 'cos i don't want to know anything :) yet.
maybe i've missed it but is there a category for "technical improvements", i.e. things we might want to see on the site that was on IMdb? you've done a fantastic job bringing the threads over and, I too, go on the individual movie/actor sites if i want to know something. however, having the content like below would be helpful. i

Storyline
The year is 1936. An archeology professor named Indiana Jones is venturing in the jungles of South America searching for a golden statue. Unfortunately, he sets off a deadly trap but miraculously escapes. Then, Jones hears from a museum curator named Marcus Brody about a biblical artifact called The Ark of the Covenant, which can hold the key to humanly existence. Jones has to venture to vast places such as Nepal and Egypt to find this artifact. However, he will have to fight his enemy Rene Belloq and a band of Nazis in order to reach it.

Trivia
The Life magazine read by Toht on the plane to Nepal is dated November 30, 1936, which is also the day the social activist Abbie Hoffman was born. Steven Spielberg would years later be initially slated to direct a project about Hoffman and his fellow defendants in the Chicago Seven. See more »
Goofs
When Indy and Marion travel from Nepal to Egypt, super-imposed over the map showing their route, is a Douglas DC-3. The DC-3 first flew on 17 December, 1935. The first aircraft of this type were delivered to American Airline during 1936. KLM Royal Dutch Airline also received their first DC-3 in that year, and from August 1937 used it on their Amsterdam-Batavia (now Jakarta)-Sydney route, replacing earlier Fokker aircraft. The majority of all the 300 to 400 DC-3 airframes built before World War II were in fact flying for American, Eastern, United, and TWA airlines within the U.S., and it would have been very unlikely to find one flying between Nepal and Egypt in late 1936.

I just watched this for the second time. I really liked it. I was looking for Jim parsons in a part. it happen to come across this movie again. It really was a very light hearted comedy that was kind of cute. Not to be taken too seriously but it got me interested in looking up a couple of the birds that they had mentioned.
..... so you can't read movies on movie chat? I'm not going back to IMDb. I deleted my account. I give this movie and 8.
looks good so far. i need to explore more. i MISS the Imdb message boards! i can't tell you how many times i look up stuff about a movie especially after seeing it. the only thing (and maybe i haven't discovered it) was the way IMdb had the gross film sales, release date, set locations, etc. all that stuff they still have on their boards.
