It is 1995. The procession goes through the streets of a once prosperous town. Pueblo Rico celebrates the day of its patron saint, “Santa Rica.” The collective celebration serves as camouflage not only for a couple in love to sneak away to make love furtively, but also for the mayor to secretly introduce a load of toxic waste. The couple and the waste end up in the same hiding place: an old abandoned theater. This is how Ana and her boyfriend Froilán find out about the misdeeds of the mayor and his lover. In the midst of this situation, Froilán begins to irrigate his genitals with oil. The town believes that it is a miracle, turning Froilán into “The Irrigator,” a messenger of Santa Rica.
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.
