jsonp jquery cross domain error

I am trying to retrieve the source code of an IMDB page using jQuery and jsnop, using the following code:

$(document).ready(function (){

        var url = "http://www.imdb.com";

        var success = function(data){
            // work
        };

        $.ajax({
          type: 'GET',   
          url: url,
          data:{todo:"jsonp"},
          dataType: "jsonp",
          crossDomain: true,         
          cache:false,
          success: success,
          error:function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
            console.log(errorThrown);
            console.log(textStatus);
          }
        });
});

I am getting following errors:

object error
parse error

Actually the problem is the format, as your are hitting http://www.imdb.com which will return html which is basically a xml format, but your ajax call expecting a JSON format, try yahoo ypl

//like this 

var site = 'http://www.imdb.com';
var encoderUrl = 'http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=' + encodeURIComponent('select * from xml where url="' + site + '"') + '&format=xml&callback=?';
$.getJSON(encoderUrl, function(data){
    console.log(data);
});
