When a rejected guitar player falls into a manhole, he meets a welcoming group of misfit musicians who try to help him find his way back home.
This is the story of Hector, a boy who gets kicked out of his band because he is not cool enough. On his way home, upset about the happening, he falls in a hole and ends up in an underground world, inhabited by many strange creatures. But it is in this weird place that he is going to find everything he was looking for: true friends and a rock'n'roll band that does not care about stereotypes, only the passion for music. The Under-Undergrounds, together, will have lots of fun adventures trying to help Hector finding his way back home. Tolerance, diversity, companionship and self-knowledge are values that our 'Rock Star Hero' will learn in order to be respected and loved by the 'Undergrounders'.
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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
