Are there any other websites, similar to the All Music Guide, or Internet Movie Database, for literature, painting/art, comic books, etc..?

yes, a lot of art ones (also architecture) but they are all on my old computer and my work computer: also there's THIS, which i use a lot for fact-checking (on the whole — unlike movies or music — lit seems to be gathered by genres in separate places: eg the ppl who do the GOTHIC site will not help you on Westerns...

Check out www.metacritic.com, it's sort of like the dogpile search engine, but for movies, music, video games, a few other mediums. They give you links to about 20 different review sources for an album (eg. in the music category: Spin, AllMusic, Pitchfork), and then calculate a composite score based on all of the ratings it has received. It's no exact science, but it's a neat site.

www.comics.org has a pretty good database of comics info, but it's not in the imdb class. http://artcyclopedia.com/ is a decent starting place for art. I've not found a literary equivalent of imdb, but http://www.andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Lit/ is a good directory of literary resources.

This one has a lot of architectural photographs (no commentary, tho).

Is there any alternative to IMDB? I'm fucking sick of their pop ups and adverts farting their way onto my screen. stupid twats.

There used to be a feature on IMDB where you could read all about the different DVD editions of a film - I can't for the life of me find this on the site anymore - anyone?

I really hate the IMDB redesign. (Almost always my first reaction to any site redesign.)

so I see this one user, StephenPaulC, seemingly think some not-very-funny movie is "LOL The funniest 1 hour xx minutes ever!" with a lot of !!!!! at the end. Which makes me wonder, what else does he like?

Well... all of his reviews are like that.
