Hmm, thanks for that, that seems to help a lot.
Except when I use httpThin, I don't get:
1) production companies
2) producers
3) casting directors
4) editors
Everything else seems to be complete far as I can tell (except no
longer getting an obscene amount of actors).
Is there some documentation somewhere that shows what exactly is
missing in httpThin and how to get each individual item missing
manually?
