How to download pictures from imdb.com

Well so imdb.com used to be great resource when I wanted to use a official poster for a movie but recently you cannot download from there (the right click option is disabled plus you cannot drag it on desktop with the left click).

Soooo. Here is the "magic". Lets say, you want this picture.

So if you use mozilla then click CTRL+U to show the html code, then click CTRL+F to search and put there e.g. "jpg" and the first one will show you this line in the code:

img oncontextmenu="return false;"
galleryimg="no" onmousedown="return false;" onmousemove="return false;" src="http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/%20M/MV5BMzYxMzE1NzY4Nl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMTcxOTI2MQ@@._%20V1._SX270_SY400_.jpg" />td>tr

from that just use this part:

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/
MV5BMzYxMzE1NzY4Nl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMTcxOTI2MQ
@@._V1._SX270_SY400_.jpg

which is direct link to that picture, so copy it and insert into the adress line of your webbrowser and now you can do anything you want with that picture, for example you can wipe your ass with that.

dude. kudos. this works. it helps to search for the phrase "return false" if you'r not used to looking at code. but then you'll find the jpg you want in the code. thank you!!
