Another tagging suggestion

I know you're changing the layout/interface in a while, but it would be nice to combine tags easily (i dont even know if its currently possible).
Say click on 'Comedy' tag, it shows a lot of movies, like 83 in my case. Well then if there was a mini-tag cloud that appears somewhere on the results listing of all my comedies, that shows all other tags that are attached to the movies with 'comedy' tags.
Quite trankly, I'm a bit surprised its not possible to do it at the moment. That is the whole point of tagging. comedy+romance brings up all your romantic comedies. comedy+sci-fi can fine tune space-based comedies. and comedy+1980s, can quickly sort out all my comedies from the 80s for a bit of old school chuckle.

and if the same logic can be applied to directors and actors cross mixing, that would be even better. All comedies that star bill murray. all horror movies made in the 1970s. all jim carrey films that are Dramas, not comedies.

I've been meaning to do the multiple tags for a while now, just one of those things that's never got completed. I will try and do it soon.

I've completed this now, it's pretty cool. It only works for your own items as getting related tags for a tag on a global level was too slow but I might be able to cache this information.
Not uploaded yet but will be on a test server soon.

looks great, Tom. Can't wait to try it out.
Also, i like the page navigation buttons.

Hm...while you're working on the ability to combine tags for search anyway, is there any way to make it more flexible? Allow combinations of more than one tag? Maybe even AND/OR/NOT statements like "children AND (comedy OR animation) NOT travel"?
I realize this may be way more complex than you want to get, but it'd really be nice. Might even get me to start actually tagging stuff... :)

I will have to see how easy that is to implement

well, I think the 'AND' combination of tags would be plenty to start off with. I cant really see myself personally using OR/NOT operations on tag searching. All we're trying to do is to simplify searching large lists, and the more tags you combine, the narrower the search will be. So 'AND' is a necessity, in my opinion, with 'OR' + 'NOT', if its tricky to implement, should probably be put near bottom of priority list.
