Hahaha, it's more of a troll poll actually but I had a good time making it. It's my masterpiece. If the Editors have a sense of humor they should feature this on their new homepage. But I have my doubts if it even goes live...
The new homepage is shite. IMDb is losing the battle of common sense. Their IQ actually dropped 100 points when they introduced it and it's rapidly plummeting. They are now in young teen territory and rapidly approaching infancy. This does not bode well for IMDb's future as the go-to web site for written movie information.
That was a lifetime ago! I actually have toned down my anger and no longer make enemies any more. Zolly and I buried the hatchet a long time ago (Zolly trolled a lot of boards, but I only used Facebook and we became friends after battling over nothing). I learned it's better to control my anger than to let it out over nothing but nonsense. What is happening on IMDb is not nonsense. It's real! IMDb means a lot to me and my personal website. We have been connected for nearly 25 years!
I don't actually have a starting point, apart from any of the IMDb webpaths I most recently visited. Often times I arrive at IMDb from Wikipedia or DuckDuckGo, or the search bar in my browser, courtesy of the Mycroft Project.
I do not like the new home page. I don't like the design and that, as ElMo said, it feels like I'm in a mall and I do not like that there isn't always a poll on it anymore. I do like this poll. : )
'A few suggested edits:
#2: It's not very good; I think I prefer the old one. (semi-colon or colon instead of comma) #3: I hate it so much that I think I am gonna quit visiting the site. #5: It's good; I think it's beter than the old one. (semi-colon or colon instead of comma)
Dear IMDB. I've been a loyal member for almost 20 years. I've been an IT professional (including web design at various jobs) for almost 40 years. But never, ever have I seen as gross a fubaring up of a simple, elegant & functional UI, as what you have done with this last rollout! I won't even get into the slideshow performance issues on lower-spec h/ware and remote VMs where it can take a full minute to load the front page now, even on a fast inet link *sigh*...
Hope you're catching a lot of ADHD tweeny/twenties who's attention span is under 10 secs & only know how to navigate massive mobile-centric splatterfest pages, full of over-sized images & pointless icons. RIP the written word - and rest assured, you've done your part in ensuring this!
Good luck with the next gen of mouth breathers & illiterates, once you've lost the rest of us old-timers. Perhaps you can port IMDB natively to consoles next with full gorilla-thumb controller support...?
(P.S. I will gladly give your designers free prof UI/UX design advice & a lesson in forms theory do's & don'ts - just contact me on my email address...first bit of free advice: sack the entire team of monkeys responsible for this travesty ;).
Is there a home page lol? I just live on the movie search reference page, so I get the leanest page without all of the zoomer ADHD buttons larger than most other pages! Thanks Amazon...
