Production Accountants are Department Heads that oversee $100 Million or more in a season. We even get on-screen credit as Production Accountant or Production Controller.  Why does IMDB throw them into "Series Additional Crew" with PA's and office staff?  Other department heads such as Ar

IMDb needs a Season 0 for TV series

So I would like to suggest IMDb adds the option for a Season 0 for TV series (eg 0.1; 0.2; 0.3; etc.). The reason for this is that sometimes TV series might begin broadcasting episodes prior to an official Season 1. For instance, the classic TV series, Unsolved Mysteries (1987-2002), began as a s

Make sure reviews are reviews again (minimum of 50 words instead of 50 characters)

Idea: Make sure reviews are reviews again.Current situation: Recently, IMDb has decided that a user review should at least have 50 characters. I feel it is impossible to write a review in - let's say - 60 or 70 characters. However, because IMDb allows this, a lot of useful, insightful observations l

Photos with spoilers (Question/Idea)

I was very surprised that major spoilers from the final episodes were included in the Itaewon Class photos area, especially from #6 onwards. Is this considered acceptable?  Is there a way to report them (I notice 'spoiler' or 'other' are not options in the current report menu for photos).

Ratings and particularly Reviews

I would suggest that the reviewer have an age bracket attached to them.- not actual age. There are some very bad reviews on very good films and vice-versa. Of course young reviews only want to see super hero, apocalyptic stuff. Some don’t understand the movie at all- so an age bracket would be extre

Should Trailer Music Be Credited on IMDb?

The impact of trailer music on a film's success is undeniable. It can evoke emotions, pique curiosity, and even influence our decision to watch the movie. In many ways, it's the unsung hero of the marketing campaign, often overshadowed by the film itself and the A-list actors. But who creates these
