dl8··on Show HN: CinemaBuff - Actor graphs using IMDB ratings
It should be working again in a minute or two, sorry for the inconvenience.

Or is that just a total # of votes for each movie combined?

Yeah I was planning to add very similar pages to those once I've cleaned up my data. How did you do the popularity rankings, or were those somehow included in IMDB's data dump and I overlooked?

I'm not sure, I'll look into it. I know I excluded many of the "Behind the Scenes" and "Making of" movies, but I'm not sure why legit ones are missing, thank you for reporting that specific example so I trace the problem.

Yeah absolutely, I initially want to start it small and slowly expand it to encompass a lot of those things with a variety of features.

When I initially had the random actor, a vast majority of the time I would land up on someone who only had 1 movie, so basically a dot on the graph, so I restricted the eligibility of the random page for the actor to have at least 3 films under their belt.

Very awesome
dl8··on Show HN: CinemaBuff - Actor graphs using IMDB ratings
Thanks, will fix it tonight.

Definitely. I only parsed through the names, ratings, and years. Going back to parse more stuff such as the number of votes, genre, etc. is going to be the most painful part of this project.
dl8··on Show HN: CinemaBuff - Actor graphs using IMDB ratings
Yes, I'm currently working on that. I think I may be able to restrict a lot of the unwanted movies by filtering based on the number of votes.

IMDb has a data dump: http://www.imdb.com/interfaces

It's kinda a mess to parse through it and get the data in though.

This sounds like an awesome process since I'm not the best interviewee, but I can see how it might not be the best for people who already have jobs.
