September 26, 2018 would have turned 60 years old Ilya Kormiltsev - an outstanding poet, brilliant translator, prose writer, essayist, literary and musical critic, a multifaceted publisher, a person of the broadest culture - a personality not just bright and large, but legendary in his own way. Ilya Kormiltsev (1959-2007) is widely known as the main lyricist of the Sverdlovsk rock group Nautilus Pompilius. After his early death in the UK at the age of 47, several memoir documentaries were made about him. And now - fortunately, he predicted a lot - the first results of his life and cultural contribution are being summed up in the most unexpected directions. The authors of the picture will try to find a worldview vector that united these so different occupations, but which became the fate of our wonderful contemporary and compatriot.
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.
