June 1976 Denmark DR TV Studios Original Source PAL VHS Recording from a TV show transcripted to DVD. Sange efter Lukketid translates to Songs after closing time. The whole show (songs and words) is subtitled in Danish. Tom is standing in the bar with a Carlsberg Elephant Beer (a very strong lager), hence the alternative title, while raving on about this and that, along a jazzy tune from the band. He soon moves to the piano and starts the "real" concert. Performance List: 1. Elephant Beer Blues: The Ghost of Saturday Night /Gee Baby ain't I been good to you 2. New Coat Of Paint 3. Warm Beer Cold Women 4. Emotional Weather Forecast 5. Bad Liver And A Broken Heart 6. Semi Suite 7. Spare Parts I
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.
