The boy Styopochkin always obeyed his mother. He did not think about what he would become in the future - his mother will tell him, the boy thought. And so it turned out - he entered some prestigious university. But one day he saw paratroopers in the sky! From that moment the guy's path is one - to be in the army. Styopochkin escapes from the university and by all rights and wrongs gets into the paratroopers to realize his dream... However, Styopochkin's army entourage - San Sanych and Kuzya - are old brats who are just a little bit away from demobilization. Very quickly they realize that Styopochkin can‘t do anythinf himself himself can, but tries hard. Therefore, his coworkers even undertake to help him, including for reasons of their own safety. After all, as San Sanych says: "either he kills us, or we will make him a real paratrooper"....
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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
