Don't count on it being temporary. Imbd has made the "transission" from being an entirely free website to being a predominantly pay site. It still offers some freebies, like quick description of films, performers, etc., but if you want more than that, you've now got to dish out almost thirteen bucks a month for the privilege. That's over $150 a year. Yeah, right, as if that's going to happen in this economy.
