fix imdb scraping
IMDb now seems to require JS for the challenge on every request. This
unfortunately means that we need to spin up an actual browser to make
the request. I couldn't get a non-JS request to work, even in the
browser (with cookies cleared) a non-JS request would fail.
I'd massively prefer to use geckodriver, but on average a chrome request
(including process spinup) takes around 2s, while FF takes 2-3 as much
time. That's a massive cap I can't in good consious add to every movie
show request requiring a scrape.
For completeness, here's the code that works with FF:
```ruby
options = Selenium::WebDriver::Firefox::Options.new
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.binary = '/snap/firefox/current/usr/lib/firefox/firefox'
driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox, options: options
