El Grosso Concerto, opus 58, fue un espectáculo del conjunto de instrumentos informales Les Luthiers en compañía de la Camerata Bariloche. El título, El Grosso Concerto, es en realidad una variación del título de una obra incluida en el espectáculo: el Concerto grosso alla rústica (un verdadero concerto grosso barroco, al estilo de Vivaldi). Esta obra fue compuesta por el compositor ficticio Johann Sebastian Mastropiero, inspirado en un poema del "famoso" poeta ficticio Torcuato Gémini. El título de la obra no tiene nada que ver con la forma musical de que se trata (el concerto grosso barroco), sino a la dedicatoria que le hizo Gemini a una regordeta y tosca doncella del altiplano argentino, a la que iba dedicado el poema. Dicha dedicatoria decía así: "Con certo sentimento d´amore, alla signorina grossa e rústica".
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.
