Where faith meets practice former Methodist Pastor Ted Dotts finds himself facing the biggest challenge of his life, his own death. After being diagnosed with prostate cancer he has decided to forego treatment. Ted and his wife Betty fought for civil rights in the 60's in Texas, and were denied the right to adopt an African American child. In 1993 Ted became the founder of the Lubbock chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays. Now he and his wife Betty reflect on a life well lived, a legacy of love, and Ted's transition into death. Ted's faith and all that he lived for is encompassed in the Wesleyan Covenant Prayer. 'Put me to doing, put me to suffering'.
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.
