"Rise of the Jellyfish/3D" is a groundbreaking documentary special from Story House Productions. It takes an in-depth look at a new natural disaster: a growing scourge decimating coastlines around the world. The special examines the emerging jellyfish invasion that is descending on coastlines from Korea to Hawaii to New England to Florida and The Gulf Coast. Hear from scientists who are racing against time to understand why these primitive, mysterious creatures are suddenly breeding and spreading abnormally, wreaking havoc on unsuspecting populations worldwide.
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.
