From Paris to Montreal, via Kingshasa, Eddy King has had an extraordinary experience. With his disconcerting stories and his ease in talking about disturbing subjects, this young man bewitches, surprises and disconcerts! His universe is nourished by cultural references and a good dose of derision! His favorite subjects are taboos. Its mission leaves no doubt: to proclaim loud and clear what people think softly. Incisive, with punch, punch and more punch, Eddy King has adopted a winning formula: simple and authentic. Show recorded on July 20, 2012 at the 5th auditorium of Place des Arts, Montreal.
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.
