With a site like that comes a certain curse: you can't really improve on it. It's near perfect, and now that Amazon (owner of IMDB) added support for videos, my initial response was: meh. It's a welcome addition to the site, but since the 6,000 movies and TV shows that are offered from Hulu, CBS, and Sony mostly aren't available where I live (or pretty much anywhere outside of the US, for that matter), excuse me for not being too thrilled. I'd rather be able to watch little embedded trailers for all movies, thank you very much. IMDB claims that, ultimately, they want to offer every TV show and movie for free; the idea is nice, but they have a long road ahead before they get there.
