We are all dependent on something. Addiction to communication and loneliness, sex and abstinence, food and sports, drugs and religion. But sometimes we are afraid to admit to ourselves and others in our phobias, fears and complexes. It is necessary to confess, because this is the only way to get rid of addiction. This strange year bared our fears, made us more vulnerable, we had a lot of time for ourselves, we became more honest. Let's try to talk about why and what we depend on. And how can we help each other become stronger and cope with everything. Addiction is not licentiousness, not permissiveness, but a disease of loneliness, which is almost impossible to overcome alone with yourself.
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.
