Use quotes from IMDB on twitter / tumblr #16

First of all: this is awesome!

However, the auto-created quotes are usually very short and only provide one camera perspective. It might be a good idea to source IMDB for multi-line quotes, fuzzy-match them against the subtitle files and create longer, more substantial quotes.

I honestly, have no interest in trying to do this myself, but it is an interesting idea so I'm marking it as 'up for grabs' and someone else can work on it if they like.=

I am planning to implement options to allow combining multiple subtitle-indexes into a single gif (which will then have changing subtitles). Should not be very difficult and should cover this use-case. I will not however, do any sort of scraping from IMDB, intelligent matching or other complicated stuff.

Should work something like this:

python makeGifs.py --movie hope --index 580 581

Naturally that would allow people to basically edit together gifs, but that seems fine to me?
