Used to go to:

  • Look up cast lists
  • Read the forums on trailers

Now:

  • The cast list is obfuscated and harder to navigate
  • The forums were removed

I use TMDB now

Tmdb is a much nice experience than IMDb. Site loads way quicker, there's no irrelevant articles and ads plastered all over every page, and not owned by billionaire ghouls. I hope it stays exactly the way it is for many years.

And an API with an excellent free tier

may I make a mention here to a TMDB-based cast lookup tool I made not too long ago?

Twodeg(rees of separation) allows you to find connection between several titles or actors.

Wow. This is super nice. Thank you. Like an immediate upgrade from what IMDb is.
