I've wanted a way to share my IMDb votes on Facebook for years. Since IMDb doesn't seem to care about building this, I did it myself. Twitter was an afterthought.

By the way, the script should work fine in Google Chrome as well as Firefox. If you have any problems with these browsers, let me know.
