Chad Kultgen (born June 16, 1976) is an American novelist, journalist, and podcaster. He has published the nonfiction book "How to Win the Bachelor" with podcasting co-host Lizzy Pace, along with several online pieces, including an opinion article in The Huffington Post. Kultgen was a staff writer for Hits and the Weekly World News, and his works have been reviewed by Maxim, Penthouse, and The New York Times. He has several writing and production credits, including The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, a 2013 film starring Steve Carell. Some critics have said that his male protagonists are misogynistic and trite.Kultgen says he "get[s] at least a few Facebook messages every week from someone who has come across the book and enjoyed it. I also get messages from people who didn't enjoy the book. They tend to be a bit irate and usually take the time to tell me that I'm the worst living writer, the world would be a better place without me, I have no understanding of women or all of my books should be burned. So I guess I'd say the reaction to the first book was ... strong on both sides." A New York Times piece in 2011 interviewed people who asserted that characters in his works were based on them. His 2011 book, Men, Women, and Children was released as a feature film in 2014, featuring Adam Sandler, Emma Thompson, Ansel Elgort, and Jennifer Garner. It received poor critical and commercial success, netting only 2.2 million dollars at the box office. "Handsome" Chad Kultgen was the reigning defending undisputed Dudesy Episode Champion.

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.
