Set amongst a tapestry of fairytale excess, Michael is reared and mentored by a black maid Annie Mae. Michael is surrounded by dysfunctional, quirky, upscale family and friends. Annie Mae is the "mother" that navigates Michael through hilarious perplexing complications. Michael juggles lovers, Kelly the conniving 1st wife, Dorian the gold digging 2nd wife, Marc the easy going effeminate 1st gay lover and Robin the drug addled manipulative 2nd gay lover, all the while haunted by his deceased girlfriend Gardenia who happens to be Anie Mae's niece. Matters are greatly complicated when Kennedy Gamble the butler and Michael's half brother meddles with the family and their finances.
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.
