How to Make F**ked Up Movies
Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 57
An Indian filmmaker arrives in the USA to make a movie about his friend's neurological disabilities. The global pandemic maroons the filmmaker in the USA for five months. The filmmaker didn't have much of a choice, but to keep filming with an ensemble cast of an American lunatic, scientist turned belly dancer, cranky military veteran, neurotic clergyman, Mormon comedian, LGBTQ musicians, pro wrestlers, a porn star and full-time dreamers. The perfect recipe for a f**ked-up movie.
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.
