Is it the new Cold War, this time fought with the weapons of tariffs and counter-tariffs? The trade conflict between America and China is an unprecedented economic clash between two superpowers. It goes back to the trade policy credo of US President Donald Trump: "America first!" As a result, the USA imposed numerous tariffs of 25% on Chinese imported products in 2018. China responds with counter-tariffs. The trade dispute between the two largest economies escalated in 2020, causing a tremor that shook Europe and the entire world.
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.
