.imdb returns "Unknown error" when used #63

Opening on behalf of ragazor:

Usage of the .imdb command returns "Unknown error" every time. This appears to be because the data source, OMDBAPI, is private and requires an API key for use. I don't see any reference to an API key in the source code.

It looks like omdbapi is charging for API tokens now. I couldn't find another API that provides the level of detail we need.
