Re: IMDB (internet movie data base) Banned In China
I noticed they banned that too.
Maybe they leaked the plot of most Chinese TV shows and movies-
Girl meets western guy, he beats her, a Chinese guy (who shockingly has perfect hygiene and doesn't spit) saves her from a descent life in the West (which hates Chinese people) and in the end she burns her Green Card.

It's been on and off over the last few months now.
That was my go to site for find out if a movie was worth downloading or not.

Try Metacritic instead.

The ratings are usually pretty accurate. Though there are a few mishaps in there - Napoleon Dynamite got only 70%.

Re: IMDB (internet movie data base) Banned In China
Napoleon Dynamite at 70% sounds about right, maybe 80%.
Why the blacklisting though?
Seems fickle, like a woman.

They probably noticed IMDB had some Norwegian movies listed on it.

Shame, I love this site.
http://www.imdb.fr/ is not blocked. Mouahahahaha. Ok its lame -way less choice- but not blocked.
I personnaly only go to rottentomatoes for new movies. Most critics are so bad so even the average is bad.

If you use Google Chrome and go to imdb.fr and let it translate the pages to English you can see what you wish to see.

Re: IMDB (internet movie data base) Banned In China
I guesss this is only because google translate gives better (???) translations from English to Chinese than from French to Chinese. In fact, a lot of French stuff is not blocked.
To come back to IMBD, I understand why I could not access it half an hour ago ...
