Yeah I see your concern here. If the -New files were not found in a
previous run, they'll be searched on again. Technically, a bogus IMDB
number could be entered into the DB as a place holder for those that are
not found. This would prevent the imdb-bulk-update script from searching
on them again.
You could of course do a full lookup with -A at another time, or -Title
lookups if you wanted to check them again.
