"Have Tig at Your Party" is a video of comedian Tig Notaro standing still for one hour, filmed from the waist, up. Tig acts as though she is at the viewers own personal party, using limited dialog, in the hopes of blending into any situation. Another option on the DVD, is an infomercial hosted by comedians Sarah Silverman and Angela Hoover. During the infomercial, Sarah and Angela try to sell the live audience on the possible amazing benefits to having Tig at their parties. With the help of pre-recorded testimonials from several comedians and actors, it becomes clear to the audience that having Tig at their party, is something they should not live without. The third option is the unedited testimonials from the infomercial. Finally, fans of Tig's comedy will be happy to know the fourth option contains a segment of her stand-up.
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.
