    Wikipedia, or Imdb (where Wikipedia ripped it's writing from anyway)?

    *should pick less obscure topics from now on*

    IMDB.

    Because it's not Wikipedia.

    This. But if I had to pick one I would say Wikipedia is probably better since it is more popular and thus errors are more likely to be corrected quickly (though it also is prone to more errors, so I'm not exactly sure what wins out there)

    However if you are looking to cite one in a paper or something IMDB hands down. People really hate Wikipedia as a source.

    I wish this were an option, but I have to give sources for every freaking paragraph I write ;.;

    Mixt: Yeah, it's for a paper.

    Eh, at least the IMDB one has a name attached to it >.<
