Anyway, we're using a new database this semester. It's based on imdb, and it's nice because everyone understands how the relationships between movies/actors/roles/etc work.
The last database was also based on imdb. However, it was made in 2000, it is was getting obvious that it was dated. Even when I tried to use actors that are still well known or movies that are classics, I would get a lot of puzzled expressions. Hopefully, now that the database isn't older than most of my students, that will be resolved.
(Also, it means we're getting close to the end of the semester! This is always a nice milestone because it means there are only six more classes to go, which doesn't sound too bad at all.)
