Looks like Sony isn't the only one ready to take a
crack at improving BD-Live, Fox has revealed its "Live Lookup" feature, that will pull info from IMDB.com related to the movie being watched, slated to appear first on the
Wolverine Blu-ray. Besides an internet hookup,
Wolverine will bring a 5.1 DTS-HD MA soundtrack, a digital copy and several Blu-ray exclusive featurettes when it is released September 15. Ready to find out if the performance of Fox's Java applet navigated via remote can beat having a laptop sitting open next to you?

Finally a BD Live app I will actually use.
I'm always on imdb via my blackberry trying to figure out what other movie an actor was in. It would be really cool if I could pull up an on screen window showing the names of each actor on screen ad then link to their IMDB page.
I'd try this feature out if the movie didn't suck. Let's see Fox get out some great catalog titles like Fight Club and Moulin Rouge instead.
I was with you when you said Fight Club. But Moulin Rouge!? Come on now!
Seriously! I thought the same thing.
What? A useful feature?? What's going on?
Sorry for the sarcasm there but the IMDb link feature is genius. I frequently watch shows and movies and have to pull up IMDb on my phone to get names of the actors/ actresses and figure out where else I have seen them.
I hope they start doing this with every movie because the feature isn't enough for me to buy this movie.
i use to watch movies and tv while on imdb alot. i should see how well my phone handles the site.
I'm with everyone above, instant IMDB access would rock. I too check it all the time during a movie for cast info (especially during animated movies) and other tidbits. My hesitation would be if it is as slow as everything else on BD-Live seems to be. Takes forever just to load it on my Panny BD60 and then it is confusing to click around in and runs like a snail. But this is definately a step in the right direction.
By the way Cap BD, I also enjoy Moulin Rouge. It's so over the top...
What is Moulin Rouge?
Hi everyone.
I have a LG BD370 upgraded to the last SO version, the Wolverine Blu-Ray is not playing on it. Does any one have a problem like this? I tested the Blu-Ray disc on a Sony BD350 and works fine :(
Thank you for your help
Same thing on my ps3 which just took updates to play the latest need for speed
