What's this newfangled hyperlinking y'all youngsters are doin'?

In case you weren't aware, for some godforsaken reason, the Internet Movie Database is probably the best concentration of movie information on the internet.  You can see the entirety of a star's career, get movie news, reviews, synopses (just in case you decided to not see a movie we were supposed to review), and cross-reference just about anything.  That isn't to say that the IMDB is the final word when it comes to all things film and television.  But like Wikipedia, it's a great place to start.

Also useful is the Internet Movie Firearms Database, which is like IMDB in name only, and apparently staffed by crazy people that just watch movies to identify what guns appear in them.  Like me.  So, if you didn't quite catch the difference between the two submachine guns used in Gran Torino by the Hmong, you can always look it up and see that both a MAC-10 and a Mini Uzi made appearances.  If you're a weirdo like that.
