"Speedies this year was almost too good to be true. We thought we'd seen it all but until this year we'd seen nothing. You can never underestimate the Mecca." Paul Sargeant, Tracks. "The waves were outrageously perfect and were graced with some of the mnost mind-blowing tube threading I have ever witnessed at close quarters." Tim Baker, Surfer. 'What we saw over the last 10 days is as good as it gets, I don't care what anyone says. It takes good waves to be able to perform and show people how rad this sport is." Luke Egan, Victory Speech, Quiksilver Pro 1997.
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.
