A high school teacher, Masato Saito, is told by his best friend, police officer Shinya Saito, about a strange murder case. The incident was that a woman broke through her belly and had an umbilical cord popping out of her belly, and at the same time three men were said to have blew bubbles from their mouths and died. One day, Shinya's wife, Junko, receives something called Baby Mail. The baby mail says, "I have a grudge against someone who is trying to have a child. I will raise my child." When she opens the attached file "@", the baby cried and the LCD of her cell phone cracked, which was creepy. A month later, she was found in a condition similar to the bizarre incident. However, she was diagnosed as four months pregnant when her body was found, even though she had her period a month ago.
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.
