Jihoon, the main character, guards the art museum alone. There is nothing for him to do other than sitting at the desk, answering phones, or organizing the museum. The museum is an empty space with only an Egyptian wooden coffin lying around. Only one or two people visit the museum a day. People who come are diverse, including women in their late 30s, Japanese, and middle-aged men. At night, visitors call the museum and make excuses for their deaths. Just three days after starting to guard the museum, Jihoon becomes distraught and crazy due to the strange energy of the wooden coffin and the museum and the incoming phone calls, so he quits working at the museum.
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.
