This script adds links to Blockbuster.com search results next to each movie link in IMDb pages. If you have a Blockbuster.com account but like to browse IMDb, this script will be very helpful.

Credit
I don't deserve a whole lot of credit for this hack. This script is a hack of another Greasemonkey script by Ed Hager that adds Netflix links to IMDb from http://www.artefxdesign.com/greasemonkey/. He did all the hard stuff -- I just made it work for Blockbuster.com and made a snazzy little button instead of using text for the links.
Installation
Firefox/Greasemonkey installation
If you don't have the Greasemonkey extension, you need that before attempting to install this script.
Firefox/Greasemonkey users can right-click on the link below and select "Install User Script..." from the menu:
Install Blockbuster links In IMDb Greasemonkey Script
Internet Explorer/Trixie installation
Download and install Trixie if you aren't already running it.
Click on the link below, and save it into your Trixie/Scripts folder, then go into Tools->Trixie Options and click the Reload Scripts button.
Install Blockbuster links In IMDb Greasemonkey Script
Note: You won't get neat little BB icons like Firefox users. Internet Explorer doesn't support embedded images, so you're stuck with [blockbuster] tags next to the links until Microsoft adds support for data:image to IE.
