Blackwater told the story of the worlds most incredible wave - Now see the latest instalment with May Dayz as nature delivers one of the most incredible swells in the history of Teahupo'o. On May 1st and 2nd 2005, Teahupo'o roared like never before over two days, and it was completely documented as THE BEST EVER by Blackwater director Tim Bonython. Day one was big grey and very scary and day two delivered a day of massive, perfect waves. See the images that went around the world - including amazing footage of a jet ski going over the falls almost killing surfer, Raimana Van Bastolaer, and the biggest wave ever paddled ino at Teahupo'o with 2001 World Champ, Globe's CJ Hobgood, taking the drop on a monster of a set wave, now etched into Teahupo'o's history. May Dayz - Blackwater 2 will blow you away with literally the most insane waves ever filmed. It's a story that even goes beyond the footage.
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.
