Another entry in the series that chronicles the rise and implosion of ECW, is here. This time we head back to 1995 with the guy who was wearing the ECW title that year…The Sandman. ECW was headed for an explosion in popularity as the extreme nature of its brand began to reinvigorate jaded wrestling fans…the gang from South Philly started branching out…Florida, Delaware…and began to show the business that fans can believe again! Hard to believe that so much happens in only 12 months…but those are ECW months. Let Hak take you back to the year he carried the best for the growing company, set to blow up!
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.
