Golf, a sport where the prizes are really large. Meet Tadamichi Aoba also called Dandoh. A normal kid who's still in elementary school, he also really likes baseball. But because of a clash with his principal over golf, Dandoh switches to golf when he hears that he can earn about 30 million yen if he can win a tournament. When he was young, Dandoh lost his mother due to money problems. This is why Dandoh really wants to play golf, so he can bring his mother back. Under the guidance of a famous ex golfer, Dandoh aims for one thing... To master golf and win a championship so that he can bring his mother back.
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.
