In the prosperous period of Kaiyuan the crown prince was seriously ill. Emperor was secretly looking for a remedy for his son and one of the experts diagnosed that the prince had a very special destiny and needed to convert to Buddhism with a "Buddha bone relic". Emperor didn't want the crown prince to suffer, so he ordered Pei Lunde, who had the same eight fate characters as the crown prince, to become a monk on his behalf. There are rumors that "Buddha bone relics" can make people become immortals. As soon as the news that Pei Lund was taking the "Buddha bone relic" to the Jinshan Temple was exposed, the demons and evil spirits of the Kuhai Territory were ready to move, spreading nets around the world, trying to snatch the "Buddha bone relic" The abbot of Jinshan (Golden Light Temple) foresaw that Pei Lunde was afraid of a disaster, so he assigned Xiao Wu of the Demon Subduing Monks to escort Pei Wende to the temple.
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.
