Hank and Lank have inside information that it's meal time, but it looks as if they would have to skip a meal or two until Hank's fertile brain maps out a royal road to a big feed.
Hank and Lank have inside information that it's meal time, but it looks as if they would have to skip a meal or two until Hank's fertile brain maps out a royal road to a big feed. Into the "Ragout Restaurant" goes Hank, and soon returns wearing a pair of large signboards proclaiming the goodness of the bill of fare at the eating house. Hank is rewarded by a fine feed, for he has managed to steer a large crowd to the restaurant. Now it's Lank's turn. He has seen how easily Hank earned the big eats, and loses no time in applying to the "Apax" restaurant. They have seen that the rival house has increased its patronage by advertising, and Lank soon is at large upon the community with a pair of boards upon which the name "Apax" appears in large letters. But carrying the heavy sandwich is strenuous work, and Lank stops frequently to rest. While loafing on a corner two boys, intent upon mischief, fix upon him as a likely victim. A painter happens along at this moment, and they appropriate his paint and brushes. Stealing up behind the unsuspecting Lank, they quickly obliterate the letter "X" from his sign. Lank innocently strolls away, followed by Hank, who has come upon the scene in time to see the fun. Lank's wanderings lead him to an alley where a gang of Irish laborers are eating their noonday lunch. Lank thinks that this is an auspicious place to display the restaurant ad, and walks boldly by. However, these loyal sons of Erin do not welcome an invitation to eat at the "A.P.A." restaurant. A box of newly mixed mortar is convenient for their purposes, and Lank is treated to a most "mortarfying" bath in the plastic material.

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.
