Grabs the first result of an IMDB query for a title passed in as the first argument on the command line and saves the image and basic description for the film.

imdb_info.rb

require 'curb'
require 'json'
require 'fileutils'

include FileUtils

film_title = ARGV[0]

request = Curl::Easy.new("http://imdbapi.org/?title=#{film_title}&type=json&plot=simple&episode=1&limit=1&yg=0&mt=none&lang=en-US&offset=&aka=simple&release=simple")
request.perform

films = JSON(request.body_str)
film  = films.first

mkdir_p film_title
cd film_title

file = File.open("text.txt", "w") do |file|
  file.puts(film["title"])
  file.puts(film["plot_simple"])
  file.puts(film["genres"])
end

Curl::Easy.download(film["poster"])

Reorganised so that if the query blows then an empty folder isn't created.
