David!
On the cmd line you can use wget. It is probably already installed on your
machine.
If you are a more sophisticated user and would like stream lined processing of
the information then you can use your favorite high level language to fetch
it.
I use Perl with the LWP library, then convert the HTML to standard XML (HTML
is abnoxious when it's not standard) and then use the XQL language to query
for information in the page. This setup is terrific for things like getting
the release date of a film from it's IMDB page for instance...:)
Have fun,
Mark
