Alias:
Scorch Anthony

Scorch is a former actor, professional wrestler, talk show host, radio show host, and DJ from the Syracuse and Manchester areas. He's best known for his talk show Scorch's PFG-TV and his interactions and connections with multiple celebrities and artists.  Throughout his acting career, Scorch played purely villains, mean characters, and tough guys in low-budget shows, shorts, and feature-length films. He starred in a handful of Hollywood productions and music videos such as Suicide Squad, Lindsey Stirling: The Arena, Sandy Wexley, Katy Perry & Nicki Minaj: Swish Swish, Savage Dog, and American Nightmares as background extras, concertgoers, fans, and prisoners.  Scorch's first professional wrestling gimmick was a timid rabbi type guy named "Yasha Stein." During his career, he went by the name "Vito Carlucci," as his heel manager gimmick. He was trained by Killer Kowalski and worked with the likes of King Kong Bundy, Triple H, The Road Dogg, and many more. Shortly after getting signed by the WWF, he shattered his kneecap, losing his contract two weeks before his debut on television.  Over the years, Scorch has run into controversies surrounding his talk show, believed by many to be a scam for advertisers by lying about its popularity and numbers. His co-hosts, including the likes of Michael Boris and Sib Hashian, a famous drummer and father of Dwayne Johnson's wife, was reportedly denied the money and weekly paychecks Scorch promised them.  As of 2019, Scorch has taken a break from acting and other career paths, but publicly says he has interest in pursuing it once more in the future. To date, he still does different iterations of Scorch's PFG-TV and morning podcasts to his website and Facebook.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
