Tmdb and their API is awesome. But I wish they would provide a dump of their database. I wonder how did you get a copy of all their data, did you build scraper and grab every movie?

Apparently they're using an scraper. See his/her other comment here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4054755

The TMDb API v3 is good. We're scraping Torrentz for the results, might do our own indexing later.

Oh, and "his".
