IMDB's mess: No separate boards f. separate shows. Grrrr

Just have to vent about how items from series (Great Performances, Live From Lincoln Center, American Playhouse, etc.) get lumped under the title of the series, rather than the title of each particular piece, sometimes making them almost impossible to find in searches, and making coherent, satisfying discussion on message boards of any particular piece almost impossible. The particular one I came looking for this time is INTO THE WOODS. That, being fairly well known, is not so difficult to hunt down, but many things (especially some ballets, operas, concerts) can disappear in the crowd. Sure wish they'd change this policy, and just cross-reference. Harrumph.

Multiplex: 100+ shows a day, NONE worth watching. John Sayles' latest: NO distribution. SAD.

You're absolutely right. It's such an obvious shortcoming that I'm surprised they haven't addressed it.

They used to have discussion boards for individual titles but they lumped everything into one big batch and seem to have deleted a bunch of postings. I wish that IMDb would go back to the way they used to do it.

I've noticed this myself and I completely agree, these "specials" deserve their own message boards since they really are not related to the other programming under their "umbrella" title.

Having just seen a Blu-ray disc version of "Flash of Green" (1986) and been told that this important movie based on a John D. MacDonald novel was never released on DVD and is almost impossible to find anywhere, I totally agree.

Come on lads, bags of swank!
