"Image not available" for *every* movie.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. From Movies tab (title or rating), click on any movie (e.g., WALL-E).  See 
attached screenshot.
2. Note that thumbnail does not show and the text "Image not available".

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

An image.  Note:  I don't even get one for WALL-E, for which an image is 
displayed in the 
screenshots.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

presumably 1.0 (that's what the app store states), iPhone 3G w/ iPhone 2.0 
firmware

Please provide any additional information below.

 Before submitting this issue, I did the following:
1. deleted the app.
2. turned off wifi so I would be on 3G
3. re-downloaded and re-installed the app via the iPhone.
4. noted the same behavior -- so it is not a firewall issue

I have noted that no one else has filed an issue on this.  I'm not sure why.  I 
have a plain vanilla 
iPhone 3G (i.e., no hacks).

Looking at the code for ImdbPosterDownloader at head:
http://metasyntactic.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/GoogleCode/BoxOffice/Classes/ImdbP
osterDownloader.m

I see this:
    NSString* urlString = [@"http://www.trynt.com/movie-imdb-api/v2/?i=" stringByAppendingString:imdbId];

If I take that string and append the imdb title id (tt0910970) and past the url 
in my browser:
http://www.trynt.com/movie-imdb-api/v2/?i=tt0910970

I get a response of:

WALL·E 2008 http://ia.media-
imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTczOTA3MzY2N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTYwNjE2MQ@@._V1._SX94_SY1
40_.jpg 
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910970/

If I paste the jpg URL in that response (http://ia.media-
imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTczOTA3MzY2N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTYwNjE2MQ@@._V1._SX94_SY1
40_.jpg) 
into my browser, I do indeed get the WALL-E poster (or any other poster for 
that matter).

With the URL pushed to my iPhone, the URL also works on my iPhone to get the 
WALL-E poster.

So I don't see any issue looking at the code, although I have no idea how 
closely that resembles the code 
shipped in 1.0.
