The amazing information system known as DNA bears the stamp of being designed and created by God. You learned about DNA in high school biology, but did youknow that DNA includes hidden codes, regulatory information (that for many years was considered by evolutionists to be "junk" DNA), and epigenetic information that consists of chemical markers that affect the expression of DNA? The complexity of DNA and the many layers of information encoded by it greatly constrain the ability evolution would have to achieve the random changes necessary for molecules-to-man evolution. Clearly, DNA is not the result of evolutionary processes and disorder but the creative processes and design of the Creator God.
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.
