Sticks, cubes, supremes, medallions, rillettes, shredded, sliced: surimi comes in all forms. Having appeared on the European market about twenty years ago, its success has been meteoric. Each French family eats an average of three kilos per year: France is the second largest consumer in the world after Japan. Neither fatty nor too high in protein, surimi contains neither crab nor fish waste. Yet, originally, this product is an art. Called Kamaboko in Japan, meaning "fish flesh," traditional surimi contains almost 100% fish. From five-star Japanese surimi to industrial crab sticks, the secret of its recipe begins 600 meters deep in the ocean.
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.
