Please update and change Categories (Camera & Electric)
Camera & Electrical should NOT be in the same category. They are Different Unions, completely different jobs, classifications, responsibilities and qualifications around the world. It's like having Acting, Hair and Make up in the same category. Actually Actors work closer with hair and

Allow em dashes in outlines, summaries and especially synopses
I find em dashes useful when writing plot summaries—especially the synopses—but IMDb does not support them. I'm hoping the staff will change this situation and allow them. Right now, em dashes are changed to hyphens. And so a sentence like this— The preacher's daughter—a young woman who recently

Separate pages for different seasons of anthology television!
I think IMDb should separate seasons of anthology television, like True Detective and American Horror Story.

Fascinating user rating list to derive
There's a potentially derivable user rating list that I'd love to see: What are the "no middle ground" movies -- ones where the bulk of ratings are either 10 or 1 with a crater in-between? The new movie QUEER where Daniel Craig plays gay is a good example. It would be fascinating to know what
