Frank awakens one day to a frantic call from his associate, Sylvia. In finding that associate eviscerated on a riverbank, Frank begins investigating the murder. When his informants Charlie, Sam, and Jonathan have nothing to offer, Frank finds that he himself has become the new target of his associates' assassins. After being jumped in an alley and injected with a virus, Frank's body begins to transform. The closer Frank comes to the truth...the less there is left of Franks's physical being. Murder, Deception, and Robots...and that doesn't even begin to explain the truth. Franks learns that video is a virus and that what goes in shapes us.
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.
