Augusto is a man of about 50, the father of a classic high-bourgeois family. Alone in the house he is attracted by the sound of a cell phone. Augusto finds the cell phone forgotten by his teenage son at home. A series of messages attract his attention, they are those of Trilly99, a young user of the social network MatchUp. Trillly99 proposes a game: she will start sending photos of small details of herself and he will have to replicate in the same way. Intrigued Augusto decides to play along but it will not be easy for her to hide her true age. He dresses in his son's t-shirt, shaves his chest, hides wrinkles and a white beard behind a Wrestler mask and spreads his wife's body oil. How far will this grotesque ploy in search of the perfect photo push our Pater familias 2.0?
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.
