In January 2023 I found a video that I thought was lost: the last Christmas I spent with my uncle Carlos, in 2018. Next year would be a different Christmas for my family, both of my grandparents would pass away in the middle of the year and he would be too sick to make us laugh like he always did. Shortly thereafter, in 2020, his burial would be with a closed coffin and presence limited to just a handful of people, a victim of Covid-19. This film is not only for an uncle, but also for a great friend who left an unfilled hole in the world of this family that was never the same. His last record, an immeasurable will to live.
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.
