Command exist?

[hoffman-log.livejournal.com]

Here's my question. I doubt this command exists, but man would it be sweet...

I have some movie files. The file names are the names of the movies. I would like them to be in folders that have the same name as the file (without the extension). I've been creating new folders, renaming them, and then moving the files into the appropriate folders. This has become tiresome.

Is there a command or a program I can use instead to automate all this? Basically something to create folders of the same name, and move the files into those folders. Sounds like a nifty little batch file if somebody can script it. Hmmm.... maybe i'll start on that myself....

And thanks to everybody who helped w/ the auto-play question i had earlier!
