Best Quarantine Performances of 2020 from Vulture — "Live from the Void: Colorado indie band Tennis. The four-piece fully entered the digisphere with their quarantine livestream shows, launched in October. A shift from their usual dreamy ‘70s aesthetic, the band jumped forward to the ‘90s, performing against a changing background reminiscent of screensavers on old PCs and Y2K text. Alaina Moore, playing alongside husband Patrick Riley, shimmies and sways as they dig into their vast discography, including many tracks from their latest album Swimmer, released in February right before quarantine. But they don’t just rely on aesthetics. They also delivered a top-notch performance of single “How to Forgive,” showcasing the control and capacity of Moore’s voice. The group also pulled fans into the void with them by creating an immersive Instagram filter that included the colorful changing background seen in their set." - Gabrielle Sanchez, Vulture
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.
