Best Sources for your TV and Movie Info
March 26th, 2008
I know that IMDB is a great resource for certain things. Say, for example, that I want to know Horatio Sanz’s birthday. Yeah, they’d have that, along with every film he’s been in and every time he’s been on TV during his lifetime. OK, neat information, but it definitely loses something of the human touch.
I’ve started following a tv and film blog more closely to connect with other film and TV addicts and get their take on things. That’s what the entertainment experience is really all about, right? It’s connecting with other people and watching them through situations that you can actually relate to. So, don’t get me wrong… I love IMDB and probably use it on a daily basis, if not every other day, but it’s just missing something, right?
The downside of the blog format is that you’re at the writer’s mercy as to when you get to read some more. I know the same could be said of regular sitcoms and the like, but they carry the advantage of being, well, regular. Unless the writers are on strike, I can catch my Office episodes every Thursday.
But, again, on the upside, I can get information from a trusted source (whether I agree with the author or not, I can discover where they stand and how compatible our likes and dislikes are), but one that is also dynamic. For example, I’m no expert on Asian cinema or maybe have not had any previous experience with it, but I can find out more about it after I’m done reading an interesting article on Scrubs.
So there you go, different sources give different angles. I think to get the most out of your online experience in discovering the world of film and TV, you just have to know how to balance your input.
