Five hundred years ago, when the havoc in the heavenly palace, the wick Zixia in front of the Buddha's seat was about to burn out. With the help of the Moonlight Treasure Box, Zixia sees that her lamplighter is the Great Sage Monkey King who will haunt the Heavenly Palace in five hundred years! But in this life, he is just an ordinary person named Zhizunbao, and is ready to inherit the noodle shop of his father. The first generation lights up the lamp, and the third generation becomes attached. What is the fate of Zixia? Is the Supreme Treasure the one he loves?
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.
