The idea of the name "FoQUE!iu! Fala que eh nois!" comes from the English expression Fuck-you, Brazilianizing the vulgar expression to praise the performance of Brazilian surfers and represent the content of the film's images, and Fala que é Nós! it is so that no one forgets who is responsible for this. To keep the line of always showing what the best athletes of the new Brazilian generation are doing in the water, this year's highlight is the new maneuver executed with perfection by Marcos Sifu, specialist in aerials and show man. He presents the Kerrupt Flip to the public, a maneuver invented by surfer Josh Kerr and still little explored in the world. Sifu is the first Brazilian to perform the trick and was praised by international surfers, including the creator of the trick: (This was the most perfect Kerrupt flip I've ever seen!).
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.
