From 26th April to 16th July 2004 Marillion were joined on their Marbles World Tour by THE boom boom BOYS. Marbles on the Road shows you the polished live show after 3 months of touring - but Colours and Sound takes you behind the scenes to show you how it all works in the first Marillion documentary in over a decade. From the Marbles album campaign, to the album's release and the subsequent tour, follow the band and crew on the road across Europe featuring interviews with the band, staff, touring crew, plus producer Dave Meegan and graphic designer Carl Glover. The 2 DVDs also contain over 6 hours of extra material, including featurettes going into the full story of Marbles - from the music and technology, individual songs explained by members of the band to the artwork. Also included are a band audio commentary, crew diaries and hidden extras.
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.
