N/A
Covering all aspects of his life from his early years through his initial meetings with the other U2 boys and onto early band practise sessions and first gigs.The story continues of course, with the global rise of U2 and the massive record sales that followed. But it also looks at the many other aspects of Bonos life. Using much previously unseen footage of both Bono and U2, many exclusive interviews with Bono and those whove known him best, and numerous hitherto unseen photographs, Gods Favorite Son reveals the complete story of the type of man they used to call a hero.
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.
