For years Nicky has been drinking to try and forget. The problem is, every time he hits the bottle old memories come pouring in along with the booze and it's suddenly Friday night all over again. And in Nicky's past, Friday night meant just one thing--after-hours at Lucky's Tavern for a night of drinking and shooting pool with Doug and the boys. Drinks were free, Nine Ball was the game, and everyone knew the rules up front . Or did they? Guided by his conscience, Nicky is forced to relive what began as a casual night out with the guys and ended with an event so tragic that he has never been able to put it behind him.
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.
