A couple notes regarding the GitHub repo.

First, adding a `.gitignore` with at least the following:

  .*.swp
  *.swp
Would help.

Second, committing the generated `gem` artifacts is not a good practice. Either publish[0] it or let those who use it build and distribute it themselves.

It would be great to have an ability to browse all the imdb movies/tv series, not just top 250 - but I like the direction :)

How does this access the IMDB api? I thought amazon had some pretty extreme pricing tiers for that.

        I am not disagreeing with you, I was just pointing out that the cli tool does not use the API but scrapes.

This could be cool. I'm recently scouring lists looking for sleepers made 1930s-1980s.

IMDB Virtual Terminal Browser. I was hoping for a console browser.
