During the Ming Dynasty, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill and fell into a coma. The court was leaderless, causing chaos. At this time, Hei Ni, the king of the Black Teeth Kingdom, came to visit. The 18th prince Long'er hosted a banquet to entertain the guests. During the banquet, Hei Ni boasted that the country's national power was boundless and it had four unparalleled masters: the God of War, the God of Poetry, the God of Cookery, and the God of Chess. Long'er secretly laughed because these four were exactly the strengths of the Han people, so the two sides immediately decided to compete, but the cunning and despicable Hei Ni had already bribed the four masters of the Ming Dynasty. Only then did Long Er realize that he had fallen into his trap. In desperation, Long'er signed an agreement with Hei Ni: Three months later, the two countries will have a competition; if the Ming Dynasty loses, it will cede territory and pay compensation to the Black Teeth Kingdom.
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.
