Mirja, who likes to hang out at the local village office just to watch public television, is often fantasizing. He wants to be a famous singer as seen on television. So he dreams about having a recording session with Hetty Koes Endang (a famous Indonesian singer). He also dreams of meeting the pretty girl, Dra. Ayuningsih. As a result, he falls in love with her. But after being rejected, he finds a shaman who tells him to meditate at the tomb of a virgin who dies on the Friday night of Kliwon (Kliwon is a marker used in Javanese calendar). The attempt fails. The next instruction is to steal 21 pairs of panties and bras. But he is caught by the police and detained. Inside the cell, he is “tortured” by a cell mate who looks like his mother. His mother splashes some water to wake him up and Mirja comes to the conclusion that he should accept himself as he is.
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.
