Flammable is the story of Richard, a middle-aged man who finds himself caught in a world that is crumbling under the weight of growing anger and violence. Even Richard's own family no longer relates to him, and has been consumed by their own inexplicable, unavoidable anger. All around him the news screens report society's growing chaos, mass protests, riots, and controversial video footage of prisoners left to die in solitary confinement. In desperation, Richard quits his job and leaves his family, trying to escape the growing danger of the city, only to find himself in a face to face collision with his own fear and anger.
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.
