In their new documentary, Mélanie Ladouceur and François "Yo" Gourd explore the 50-year history of the Rhinoceros Party, that mighty nose-thumbing at Canadian federal politics founded in 1963 by Dr. Jacques Ferron. From its auspicious beginnings to the Belgian "peace treaty" of 1980 to the recent proposal to unite Quebec and Cuba, it’s a history of irreverence and poetry, madness and pandemonium that raises the question : without its court jesters, is a democracy really worthy of the name.
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.
