Since 1988 a curious Doctor Who event has been taking place. Almost unnoticed by fandom in general, Dan Harris has been quietly organising cruises around the coast of America with fans and stars from Doctor Who. This must surely be the most obscure and unique fan activity of all! Join the intrepid Reeltime crew as we board the good ship Fascination with Nicholas Courtney, Yee Jee Tso and Lisa Bowerman as it leaves Miami on it’s way across the Gulf of Mexico. Somehow in this totally unique video (between trips on a glass bottom boat and to the Mayan ruins at Tulum) we manage to… squeeze in a Writers Workshop with Gary Russell, Stephen Cole and Simon Gerard… chat to the stars and fans about why they signed up… and include highlights of previous cruises.
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.
