Newzbin V3 IMDB Ratings with stars + descriptions

Displays the imdb star rating, and summary for movie results in newzbin

This script was adapted from Long Johnson's imdb rating script:
* optimized the code
* increased performance
* added movie description
* changed to a 5 star rating for increased readability

2008-03-14 Update:
* Added support for alternate report layouts (crude but works)
* tested Lite, Cypher, V3 and Classic

2008-05-04 Update:
* fixed minor location security exception
* updated regex to capture plot descriptions
* changed tip tool to report /10 rating (instead of the 5 star rating)

Would it be possible to add a feature that would embed the movie poster next to each post as well? IMDB usually has a copy of it along with the movie description page.

Is there any way this script could add the ability to sort by IMDb rating? I asked Newzbin about this and they said it wasn't allowed, but it would be a beautiful option to add.

The tool tip now reports the actual rating out of 10. The star rating out of 5 has better usability since you can scan it quickly in a list.

Use this RegEx to accept both Plot Summary and Outline:

var descRegex = new RegExp("

Plot [OS]u[tm][lm][ia][nr][ey]:
([^]*?)(?=)");

Very nice script... could you make the classic 7.7/10 rating display optional? Would be greated...

Also i observed that not all Plot Outlines are captured, not quiet sure why, think its the regex.

Keep up this great work and king regards

NB: this doesn't look so hot in 'lite mode' or any other listing format than 'NV V3' (the default). I'm working on code that will sense the layout and make the code place nice.
