Ouch... They must have changed the structure (or blocked my parser?).

Must review/update the code.

Bad news.

IMDb completely changed the layout/dynamic loading of their pages on November 25th, 2022, making it nearly impossible to get full results with a simple page parsing.
Only first most recent 15 hits for each category will show up, usually too recent to catch anything related to 80~90's LDs...

https://help.imdb.com/article/imdb/new-features-updates/imdb-name-page-redesign/GMWASETVPLJYXEZE#

Only alternative is to use their paying AWS API, which I won't do.

So... no more IMDb extracted information, except for the first 15 hits.
