Bald Headed Blues: A Doctormentary on Sarcofiguy tells the hysterical true-life story of reluctant local television pioneer and artist John Dimes and his "charming̕"alter-ego "Dr. Sarcofiguy" as they navigated for more than 15 years the diverse D.I.Y. worlds of modern television horror hosting with cutting edge improv, humor and wit. Featuring interviews with television hosts past and present, including Dick Dyszel ("Count Gore De Vol"), Jerry Moore II ("Karlos Borloff"), Bob Hinton ("A. Ghastlee Ghoul"), Leanna Chamish ("Boo dePest"), and narrated by New England horror host "Penny Dreadful," Bald Headed Blues is un-apologetically self-indulegent as it picks up where the documentary Every Other Day is Halloween left off, telling the story of how one person inadvertently changed the face of horror hosting forever.
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.
