Asako is a girl who firmly believes that “she can’t live without being exceptionally pretty.” It all began during one fateful English class in junior high when she stumbled upon words that would forever change her life. Those profound words belonged to Brillat-Savarin, the renowned French gourmet: "You are what you eat." Fast forward three years, and just as Asako has dedicated herself entirely to the pursuit of beauty, a captivating and mesmerizing girl transfers into her class. What fate awaits Asako and her new friend, "Angel"?
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.
