Blog of Leonid Mamchenkov

I was wondering around IMDB and noticed that my voting history was rather small. I checked it for a few movies and realized that a lot of stuff that I’ve seen isn’t there. Not that they lost something. It’s just I never voted in the first place. Some movies I saw before I knew what IMDB was. Others were even before I knew what Internet was. Yet others I saw recently, but forgot to vote. Or just didn’t care much.

So, I opened profiles of a few famous actors, and voted for those films that I remember seeing. I checked blog archives for all of them, and some were even mentioned. That made the whole thing easier.

Anyway, I have voted on about 50 films. My current total is 436. There’s still plenty of stuff missing, but I’ll find it eventually.

I have also noticed that IMDB now allows sharing of Voting History, so I made mine public and you can check it out here (you still have to be registered and logged in to view).

Once in a while there is some extremely stupid thing that goes around many blogs on the web. This time it is a list of 200 things to do. You put this list in your blog and you mark the things you did with bold. Then you get surprised how many things you’ve actually did already. Anyway, the examples are here, here, here, here, and here.

Read further for my results, if you are interested.
