#62"Besides being an Actor, he tried his luck in acting and singing."
I thought I was cross-eyed for a second, but it really says exactly that. [0]

That's an intriguing idea... I'd be interested if you care to expand upon it!

#64Poor boys from India game a system that was set up by Rich Tech Bros in Silicon Valley to fund their "family foundations" and 20-room houses in Atherton? I don't call it Outrage; I call it "Slumdog Millionaire: Part II"
I hate it when people create a false narrative to back up their prejudices.
The beginnings of IMDB started in 1990 as personal files, soon moved to Usenet with a few people managing different information, then first on the WWW hosted by Cardiff University in 1993, and the company was then incorporated in the UK in 1996, and sold to Amazon in 1998.

This seems like one of the widest tangents to an unrelated (even if important) topic I've seen on HN :)
Hoenstly, the recent trend of specifically created accoubts posting shit like that under everything even just remotely India related is troublesome. Especially since it either to paint any, slight criticism as being anti-Hinu and anti-Modi or to paint Indians as victims of cololianism (true, but no excuse to do whatever you want and usually used totally out of cont!xt) or those evil Muslims (using the same made up shit Islamophobs in the West use). HN is no place to spread propagabda of any kind, would be nice to keep it that way.

#66IMDB lost all my respect many years ago when they made clear with their actions that they support fake reviews. When the problem started to grow beyond the occasional vandalism, they still had a very effective discussion section in which users soon began to expose fake reviews. Their response? Of course remove the discussion section!
IMDB today has some use for their database only; but they lost any credibility on everything else.

#67Is the Apu trilogy good for real?
I'm very proud to say we did show that in the Google Cinema Club, and in fact we had a professor from UCSC who specializes in Ray films come and show it and answer questions. He knew Ray personally.

#68I remember imdb being meticulous in its record keeping ~15 years ago/before it got bought by Amazon (though its quality held up for at least a few years after). I remember looking up details for kinda obscure movies and talent, and my mind being blown when info for either was listed. Now, it takes years to see the filmography of a given actor from a streaming show.

Side note, I'd really appreciate if you could close off your opening (. I don't know where to stop reading with a lower volume in my head.
