Mr. Phil Culture provokes his friends by boasting of his remarkable strength and physical perfection. In order to get even, four of his friends decide to play a joke on him. One at a time they meet him and each man tells Mr. Culture that he looks ill. By the time the fourth man greets him with the same information, he is so worked up that he is really beginning to feel ill, and presently has to be assisted to his home, where he is put to bed and the doctor called. His friends waylay the doctor and let him in on the job. Mr. Phil Culture "comes to," however, when he overhears his friends talking and laughing about him. His strength returns, and getting out of bed, "cleans up" the bunch.
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.
