Huttyán stands with a bottle of beer in his hand in front of the pub in Öcsöd. The police approach him and report him for "illegal drinking in a public area". Huttyán does not have a thousand forints to pay the penalty, he prefers to go to prison for twenty forints a day. He gets sick in prison, despite seeking medical help; He dies at the age of 57. This is how a career that never began ended. One of Huttyán's sons, Géza, watches TV all day from a wheelchair. He doesn't do anything else, it's his only connection to the world. In the spring of 1996, he sees the Grammy awards being presented in Los Angeles, and among them Deep Forest in the World Music category..
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.
