After another failed performance at an art competition, a shaken but fiery Jackie swears off painting for good, despite the consolation of her friend Clemens. As the pair head back to their car, they are accosted by a stranger looking to make a strong-arm robbery of their cash and cards. However, the mugger soon becomes enraptured by Jackie's painting, threatening bodily harm to get it out of her hands. Jackie, renewed with a sudden appreciation for her work, refuses his demands, leading to a stand-off where only one person has the gun.
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.
