Gap
Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
There are many GAPS. These gaps cause divides and arguments and hatred. And because there are so many gaps, there must be a many lessons taught. Gap the movie, tells us that there is a man out there who is teaching this lesson by taking the blood of the ignorant. The rich, who distain and distance themselves from the poor, the "skater dudes" slamming in to the aging hippie, the attacks on color and culture, the media's mockery of the overweight. The left and the right are both Americans, but from different worlds. The pretty, pretty pressed against the ugly in disgust. Short and tall, thin and wide, all we can see are the differences. These differences are chips that fall away from our core. We need to open up. We need to stitch the gaps together. Slice the gaps open and then stitch them back together.

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.
