movie_meta.rb

# A windows script to lookup movie files in Wikipedia, find the entry for the film,
# and extract the film synopsis, download the film's poster, and stuff it in iTunes.
# It's a bit naive about over-loaded names at the moment but the simple hack to that is
# add "(film)" to the file name.

# We hate physical media in our house as my wife and I have a tendency to lose/destroy DVDs.
