It's true. Pittsburgh is seldom the city you expect. And in the first season of It's Pittsburgh & A Lot of Other Stuff, producer Rick Sebak and his collaborators celebrated some surprising people, places and donuts in the Pittsburgh area. So we've gathered some of the program's best stories to help answer unexpected questions: Can you ride your bike up the most treacherous streets in Pittsburgh? How early do you have to get up to get donuts at the little shop on Steuben Street? Do you leave your holiday lights up all year? You'll find out here.
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.
