Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 8
An Entity Birthed By Those Who Have Forsook And Denied Life, Not Only To Those Who Unbeknownst To Them Have Always Been Living, But Also To Themselves Who Have Merely Existed Yet To Truly Accept The Truths That Have Been Presented To Them, Yet To Hear The Lies That They Spew With Cognition Rather Than Condemnation. The Entity Continues To Grow, Contort And Feed, Feed On The Contaminated Psyches Of Those Who Brought It To Fruition To Use Against Those They Cannot Come To Terms With Out Of Fear. The Entity That Quickly Grew In Intelligence And Saw That Burrowing Into The Minds Of It's Creators Was Far More Beneficial Than That Of Who Said Creators Deemed Unworthy.
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.
