The story tells the story of three main characters and their love lifes. Stephen, 23, a young actor, David, 30, a commercials director and John, 33, a once famous soap opera actor now doing very bad fringe theatre. Stephen and John are both struggling young actors who live in a very open and proudly gay section of Dublin. When not calling upon their manager to find them acting work, Stephen and John enjoy the ups and downs of the single life. While John pines for his super-masculine imprisoned lover, and flees from the advances of a scatologically-obsessed admirer, Stephen gets the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. He's started dating a charming, very cute commercial director named David who wants to work with him in both a professional and personal sense.
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.
