When you watch a movie at home, do you IMDB it?

Dusty1 — Wed, 08 May 2024 01:44:01 GMT

I can't watch a movie or tv show without going on IMDB & reading about the actors & seeing what other shows they have been in.

Yes, I do that often, especially look up the lesser known actors.

I don't do it with all movies but I go to IMDB a lot. I also use it to research the character actors in old TV series. Great resource.

I do all of the time! When I watch a movie with DD she gets really annoyed.

Not only do I want to know about the actors, if it's an older movie I'll want to know all of the trivia about it!

@Dusty1

Most definitely I look at both IMDB & Wikipedia.

It can take 2 hours to watch a 1 hour Love Boat with all the stars ha.

No, I don't want to know about the actors. My interest is in the characters in the move. There are actors I avoid, so if they're a main charactor, I give the movie a pass.

If it's a movie that I really enjoyed, I'll do it, to see what others thought of it and to get a little more background info on it.

I'm terrible. I read the synopsis, and look up the actors too. My husband prefers to watch it without any background information. I believe that is what movie critics do too.

No. While watching the movie sometimes I cannot figure who someone is but I recognize the voice or face so I will look on IMDB to find out.

One movie I recognized the voice of one guy but couldn't figure out who it was? It was Kent McCord from Adam 12 from back in 1968. LOL!!! He played a General in some movie I watched past couple of months.

If I do, which is seldom, it's usually to see if the actor is still alive or if not, when they died!

I do that sometimes depending on the movie.

@Dusty1 Yes, I also look up the Wikipedia entry in case I miss some of the plot. Sometimes I pull up old reviews.

Sometimes all this looking up takes me away from the actual movie, so I usually end up rewatching parts.

Well I learned something! I had never heard of this, however since I'm not interested in actors, no, it is not something I would do.
