Any idea where this guy got the data? He mentions rating distributions.

I though the majority of IMDB data was not downloadable?

Check out http://www.imdb.com/interfaces

Also you can buy a license for access to more complete datasets.

If it's on the Internet it's downloadable. I'm not sure what the IMDB TOS says about it, but I remember watching a video about sqlite that used IMDB as its example.
