imdb seems down too and returning 503. Is it related? Here is the output. Kind of funny.

D'oh!

Error 503

We're sorry, something went wrong.

Please try again...wait...wait...yep, try reload/refresh now.

But if you are seeing this again, please report it here.

Please explain which page you were at and where on it that you clicked

Thank you!

IMDB belongs to Amazon, so likely on AWS too.

TIL Amazon owns IMDB

Yeah, I was also surprised when I learned this. Another surprising thing is that they own it since 1998.

And it was all in Perl up until a few years ago (rewritten in Java).

Explains why nobody else has a feature similar to the "X-ray" thing in Prime video.
