Title Literature Pages
As Col mentioned in his recent announcement (https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/upcoming-changes-to-several-imdb-features-du6man1opd5q0), we are implementing several changes to IMDb.
One of those changes is the deprecation of the Literature title sub-pages. The pages today are a mix of media related to the title,including: books on which the title was based; academic articles about the title; and even some written interviews related to the title. The Literature title sub-pages have generally received very little customer usage.
While we understand that some of you may be disappointed with this decision, it’s worth noting that your contributed data will not be lost. Taking down the Literature title sub-pages will enable us to build a more compelling experience in the future.
Some areas that we’re exploring are: possibly introducing a more obvious tie between a title and a book,and potentially enabling you to vote on how closely the title aligns to the book. When we move forward with any new Literature functionality, we’ll leverage your contributed data.
Thank you.

https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/why-is-literature-a-gray-link-for-every-title-in-the-databas...
For every title in the database, Literature appears as a gray (supposedly inactive) link
-- even if the film does have Literature to list.
Below, you can see an example,
where Bonnie and Clyde (1967) has Literature as a gray link.
But, in fact,
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061418/literature
shows that the film has eight different items listed under Literature....

Thanks for reporting this,
I have alerted our technical staff who will take a look as soon as they can.
Once I hear something I will post the information/updates here. Thanks!
Following up on this particular issue with the Literature section,
this section will be migrated to Java in the near future,
during this migration the issue will be addressed.

Frankly, the entire External Reviews section blows! I'm not even remotely interested with what some feeb on You Tube thinks about a movie nor do I give any weight to "user reviews". I am however, most irritated to see the decimation of the Literature section at the IMDB. Literature wasn't just book adaptations and source material but also printed reviews and production process protocols and essays and all sorts of, thoughtful, scholarly information on the medium that isn't remotely in existence on the Web's braying, posturing and, frequently, infantile, collection of social media cacophony.
Note: This conversation was created from a reply on: User-submitted reviews are terrible.
