Here's a snippet to download the poster from imdb (large)

!/bin/bash

search="echo $@ |sed 's/ /+/g'" ; ttlink="curl -s "http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=$search" |grep -oiEm1 "\/title\/tt[0-9]+\/" |grep -m1 tt" ; imagelink="http://www.imdb.com`curl -s "http://www.imdb.com$ttlink" |grep -oE -m1 \/media\/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\/tt[0-9]+" ; image=curl -s "$imagelink" |grep -E "<img id=\"primary-img\"" |grep -oE "http\:\/\/[a-zA-Z]+.media-imdb.com\/images\/[a-zA-Z0-9]+\/[_.a-zA-Z0-9@,]+.jpg"; md5=echo "$ttlink" |cut -d '/' -f3 |md5sum |cut -d ' ' -f1` ; if [ -f "cache/$md5.jpg" ]; then echo "$md5.jpg - löytyy" ; else wget -qO "cache/$md5.jpg" "$image" ; echo "$md5.jpg - tallennettu" ;fi

xbox_gamer1 why would you need to close a brace that isnt opened? there is only 1 set of braces and thats on line 6 in the regex pattern.

Also there is only 1 way to execute this script, as with most bash scripts.

at that last line add this:

and in the Description put in how to use this script

Pretty neat, but it doesn't convert HTML special chars back to their ascii equivalents. It'd also be nice to have the average score show up.
