Original Title:
Blaze the Pot Smoking Deer
Ratings / Certifications:
N/A
Runtime: 21
A wild, eccentric, surreal no-budget animated series, which has absolutely nothing to do with drug use. The creators (Adam Cooley/SeaMonster3D) aren't into drugs -- the show is here to ask the question, "Why do people want to watch a show about a superhero who is on drugs?" An absurdist existential essay on the idea of animation and superheroes, the core of the show is primarily about a pot-smoking superhero deer who knows he's on "television" and constantly talks to the audience about what it's like to be a superhero. He is fully aware he is being animated.
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.
