When you are looking at the cast listing of a movie, you might want
to know which of the actors you have seen in other movies, and in
what roles. And when looking at an actor's filmography, you might
want your attention drawn to the movies that you've seen.
If so, this script helps, by letting you do two things:
(i) On a cast listing, click on "Where have I seen these actors?" to
see next to each actor other movies you've seen that actor in.
(ii) Keep track of which movies you've seen, by highlighting links
to them wherever they occur, and making it easy to add movies to the
list (using a [+] link next to any movie you haven't seen).

Notes
=====
* This script keeps track of the seen movies in its own table (an
about:config preference), not online on IMDB. It's a good idea to
backup the list occasionally; click on "Show seen movies" in "User
script commands", hit Ctrl-A, and copy to a file.
I plan to make it save to IMDB's "My movies" in a future revision.
* For each cast listing, it actually visits each actor's page to
find all his movies. Not only can this be slow if you're on a slow
connection, it might also be considered too much strain on IMDb's
servers. Use with discretion.
