Actually, what I've been itching for is a way to grab movie showtimes, a la 
Apple's Sherlock utility.  It gets its data from Moviefone.com, but I think 
it must use a direct feed... I'd love to sniff the traffic on it and see what 
it looks like.  There's got to be a better way of doing things than parsing 
somebody else's HTML!
