We hate lightbox as much as you do. No, more!

Yes, the backdrops are awesome (thank the amazing guys at http://www.themoviedb.org/ !), we'd like to find a cool way to let you show them without crowding the interface.

Tmdb and their API is awesome. But I wish they would provide a dump of their database. I wonder how did you get a copy of all their data, did you build scraper and grab every movie?

The TMDb API v3 is good. We're scraping Torrentz for the results, might do our own indexing later.

Oh, and "his".
