A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

My Bathtub is Linked to the Sea is a short experimental work that deals with the idea and experience of anxiety. Like an uncontrollable and inexplicable loop, anxiety often entails short but repeated episodes of intense fear. This feeling of terror comes as a series of unexpected attacks that enslaves the mind of the one who is going through it. My Bathtub is Linked to the Sea attempts to visualize and express this sense of circular entrapment. Through the protagonist’s monologue and her journey of deteriorating perceptions, the work explores the dark state that haunts those who are under the spell of psychological disorders.
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.
