For Halloween this year I decided to go full nerd and create a jQuery pumpkin. I’m sure no one else understood what it was, but it was unique!

New GreaseMonkey Script: Add Netflix Links to IMDB

Posted by Matt at 7 October 2009

Example

This script was born out of a simple problem: I wanted to find out which movies have been released to theaters or DVD lately, and add them to my Netflix queue. Unfortunately, Netflix doesn’t provide an easy way to browse "major" movie releases by release date. However, IMDB always has a nice interface for this. Further, I’ve found myself at IMDB before, looking at a movie that I would like to add to my Netflix queue, but I had to go to Netflix, search, find the movie, then add it.

Solution? A new GreaseMonkey script!: Netflix Links on IMDB

I created this simple GreaseMonkey script, which adds a little red "+" next to movie titles on imdb.com. Clicking the image pops up a new window that searches on the movie name, usually finding the movie you want as the first match.

Easy! Hope it helps!
