Austen Tayshus exploded onto the entertainment scene in the mid-80's and stars here in the hilarious On The Edge, a quintessential Australian road movie in which Austen gives everyone a serve - from his gross out manager to an unsuspecting sheep! On The Edge also showcases the classic Australiana video, the country's biggest-selling single ever, shown here complete and uncensored. Extra features on this DVD include Austens Tropfest award-winning short film Intolerance and the outrageous music videos The Pope Downunder and Rapping Back To My Roots. Austen Tayshus remains on the Australia's most controversial comedians, never afraid to push the boundaries of comedy to the edge. --As found on back of DVD cover
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
