I made a movie finding service
I made this movie finding service I call omive.com. It helps you find movies (and tv-shows) based on different criteria (genre, rating, keywords etc.).
Please, try it out on http://omive.com and give me some feedback. :)
*Up again. I would love if somebody who is really good at sql could msg me.

Do you want Facebook to pay you a gazillion dollars? Because this is the kind of thing they buy for a Gazillion dollars.

This is awesome. I'd add a section for language. Maybe make it little more intuitive that multiple tabs should be clicked and selected.KWIM?

You seem to be having some SQL database issues.

Good job guys, you crashed the site.
stevewyshy
it'd be nice to know what databases you're using to find the information from.

Looks like IMDB, that's where it takes you if you click on any of the movie titles anyway.

It seems like many people want this. Now I just need to figure out a clever way to do it.

Cache all inclusive results of a search query and filter out the unwanted categories using DOM manipulation like Backbone.Js or Angular.Js

You need to also include the G-PG-PG13-R ratings system. I keep looking up movies and they're always kids films.

You can click multiple numbers. I think the way he has it is fine.

I scrapped the idea of have a slider based system since it makes it more difficult to user for users with trackpads and mobile devices.

Really like this. An anime section would be good, as well as maybe a few more sub categories. Not too many, it's not Netflix :D

So I hear you like romantic horror movies based around mundane office work.

TheThingNoNotThatOne
Is there any way to do a "so bad it's good" genre/search? It's hard to determine if those movies get high scores or low scores.
PekingSaint
My favorite podcast has a segment called "Why is this a thing?" They basically summarize terrible movies.

I'm far from an expert in this kind of stuff, but I imagine you can look at movies with positive user scores, but negative critic scores

PickingUsernamesIsHard
When you get it up and running you might want to disable spilling warnings/errors:
vyral
I would recommend setting up a New Relic agent. Awesome service, and I think there's a free plan with some limitations.
zigbigidorlu
Or at least redirect them into a flat-file log for review. Can't fix something if you can't get the errors on what's going on.
PickingUsernamesIsHard
My assumption was his host was already logging errors.
thatanonymoususer
You can use tail -f on your logs while you browse. (follow the end of your log file) Better security that way as users don't see errors.

We're mostly out of our IP allocations so we can't provide more than 50 IP's per server until we get another allocation approved. :(

Ideally, you will want to hit the database as little as possible- try caching what you can (memcached, reddis, varnish).
daPhantom
+1 Sir
IateABearOnce
actually, you would like to fix your app and db first. Then, if you really are dealing with that high traffic (most don't...) cache.
CaffeineAndHate
Always plan for success, never failure. Be a shame to have a cool app die because it wasn't ready for its moment in the spotlight.
IateABearOnce
Indeed. But caching isn't an all purpose solution. It has it's pros and cons. You should load test before announcing to a large group (1/2)
IateABearOnce
and figure out the bottlenecks. Most of the times you can live happily without caching - unless you are Facebook etc...
