Export List: add column for Cast
When looking at Exported titles, either from a custom list, or from my Ratings, I often need help remembering what a particular title is. If you could add a column for the top-billed cast, that would be very helpful, even if it were only the top 2 names. 3 names might be even better.

Sometime there should be an update to putting in Miscellaneous Links and Official Site Links all in at once rather than one at a time, could save having to keep going back and fourth with finding more. If there was a way to see 2 pages at the same time.

Trailers Page
IMDb administrators could/should pay attention to the trailers/video pages, because there are trailers there that should be uploaded automatically to the IMDb page. EGhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078346/externalsites - Superman (1978)http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096895/externalsites - Batm

TV Special keyword should be added automatically from title form selection
Hi!I suggest that the keyword "tv-special" should be added automatically when you have chosen the (type Made for TV and) subtype TV special in the Adding a New Title form.Otherwise this separated selection seems quite redundant from the subtype TV movie since this keyword is (seemingly) the onl

Notifying about the activities.
It was brought down to me that the other users are reporting the reviews that is against their opinion or for some other reason, which then further leads into rejection of that review.
