Yahoo Movie Lurker is a software tool that allows users to retrieve movie information directly from Yahoo. It is a fast and convenient way to find movie details such as cast, plot, and reviews.
This software is a web page scraper, which means it can "scrape" relevant data from a webpage without having to load the page in a browser. With Yahoo Movie Lurker, you can retrieve movie theater and showtime information from Yahoo! Movies with regex and display them in a custom DD UI.
However, it's worth noting that if you have trouble with the fuzzy legality of blocking banners and commercials, this script may not be for you. It's always important to consider the legal implications of any software tool you use.
Nevertheless, one handy feature of Yahoo Movie Lurker is that clicking on the street address for a theater will open a Yahoo! Maps page for that theater. This can make it much easier to figure out how to get to the theater you want to visit.
To use Yahoo Movie Lurker, you'll need to have Dialog Director and RegEx commands installed on your computer. Once you have those set up, you should be good to go!
