After being contracted to speak at a university in Oklahoma—then surprisingly cancelled—an ensuing national media frenzy led to the re-booking of an event that might otherwise have slipped quietly under the radar. In a packed auditorium at the University of Central Oklahoma, AiG founder Ken Ham showed that cultural issues like abortion and gay "marriage" are viewed differently because people start with different foundations. Dr. Georgia Purdom (PhD in molecular genetics) then did the same for scientific issues like mutation and natural selection and showed that science supports a biblical, not an evolutionary, worldview.
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.
