All of that output appears to be perl debug/error output, none of my
code comes anywhere near any of that.  While TMDB *should* be used
from here on out, there is nothing in the patch that I can imagine
that would affect the behavior or the movie grabber in the least.  All
my changes to the ticket in the past half dozen revisions or so have
had no bearing on the grabber behavior, let alone that of the movie
grabber.

On a non-code related note, the reason we need to use TMDB now is
because of the Terms of Service violations involved in using IMDB, who
have been clear about not wanting people to use scrapers.  I figure
you knew that, but it was worth saying for posterity.

FWIW, I wiped out my entire DB last night and used TMDB and TVDB to
rebuild it from scratch, and ended up with flawless filename parsing
and grabbing without ever touching the metadata.
