Harvey Weinstein unexpectedly crept back into Hollywood just in time for the 90th Academy Awards. Street artist Plastic Jesus teamed up with sculptor "Ginger" Monroe to create "Casting Couch", a golden statue of the disgraced movie producer, which they displayed during Oscars week. "For Your Consideration" documents the making of the built-to-scale installation as well as the reaction to the thought-provoking art piece which went viral. The 20 minute documentary by filmmaker Patrick Green tracks how activist art like the "Casting Couch" can affect culture through interviews with Plastic Jesus, Ginger, Dawn Dunning (one of the original women to speak out about her encounter with Weinstein), feminist street artist MegZany, and right-wing guerrilla artist Sabo.

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.
