  We would have believed postgres, but that's just far-fetched.

        I can't believe y'all aren't taking advantage of using MongoDB's data loss feature as an opportunity here in true HN taste.

  Not enough working blockchain implementations for this to exist. I wonder what all the white paper consultants are doing now that their profession is over? Probably working on a cannabis company.

      IMDB's search is limited to titles, and the trend is still relatively new. A search of synopses and/or other elements might produce something closer to the original request, though I'm not aware of a good resource for this. The fact that there are multiple extant and in-production projects does suggest some general interest, though.
