Art Mann Presents is a reality travel show on AXS TV hosted by Art Mann. It features eclectic public party events and festivals in North America. Mann's persona is a straight-shooting "everyman" reporter who interviews colorful, often inebriated, characters he meets at the events. Art Mann Presents has aired on HDNet/AXS TV since February 2005. Events visited have included Mardi Gras festivities in New Orleans and various other cities, Bay to Breakers, the Indianapolis 500, and tailgate parties at Jimmy Buffett concerts and other shows and sports events. The network had also aired an uncensored late-night version of the show featuring ample female nudity, Art Mann Presents: Unrated, until HDNet became AXS TV in July, 2012, and in accordance with the network format changing to a more gender-neutral live entertainment focus, the explicit version was dropped from the schedule. Notable guest stars on the program have included Carmen Electra, Jesse Jane, Jessica Mathews, and Kimberly Fisher.
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.
