I learned a lot about jquery altho I do know how to use themoviedb api.
It's hard to keep track of you... Speaking of ADHD I got distracted about adding another feature on my website... I'll resume this one when I'm done 😉😜

It's "Dances with Wolves"!!!! I've been trying different movie APIs to see which one is the most comprehensive and has all the movie details. I'm finding My API Films is very slow to respond, and seems to return the same data as The Movie Database API. Both don't seem to have directors or cast at the moment (there's a struggle keeping the APIs up to date when IMDb is changing). My solution at the moment is to generate a list of movies from TMDB, make them anchors, and pass the IMDb number to Open Movie Database (which currently has the most movie details, but doesn't return an array of movies with similar names/remakes).

Hey awesome tutorial, I am having trouble getting the data to render to html. My js code is exactly like yours. the data is showing in the console but it won't render in the browser. Also I noticed what shows up in my console is different from yours. Mines look like this Object {data: Object, about: Object} but yours looked like [ object, object, object ]. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't get past the "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost" And I have no option to pick JSONP anywhere I looked. Using TMDB btw.
