For over twenty-five years, Magnus Betnér has heckled, cursed and sparred with the Swedish celebrity elite. Sometimes with a light pat on the cheek, sometimes with razor-sharp satire. In 2024, Magnus Betnér turns 50 and now the roles are reversed. Together with some of his "best" friends in the industry, you are welcomed to Varberg's theater for an evening where Magnus Betnér is the one who gets to receive both verbal caresses and punches in MAGNUS BETNÉRS FIFTY-YEAR ROAST! To give back, Magnus has invited some of the sharpest (and meanest) humor pens in Sweden. Well-known comedians mixed with faces more unknown to the audience, all with one thing in common: they know Magnus better than almost anyone else. Corpses must be dug up, weaknesses must be exposed and the fine qualities that Magnus possesses must be highlighted. To a minimum.

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.
