the imdb lies all the time
Right you are. A buddy of mine, as a test, submitted to the "trivia" section of the movie "Zoolander" the following factoid: "Ben Stiller took inspiration for the script from his pre-comedy career as a male runway model." Three weeks later, it was on the site for all the world to see.
Two weeks later it was gone again. So you see, we like to think of the IMDB as this infallible arbiter of film knowledge, but in reality it is little more than an expansive but poorly fact-checked cinematic Wikipedia.
