Fatal Parasitism Cab driver Ah Wei has been named and criticized by the newspaper for his poor service attitude. Girlfriend Ah Li wants to break up with him. When buying flowers, he was accused of stealing flowers by Ah Hao, a girl selling flowers. In a bad mood, he was impounded by the police for driving under the influence of alcohol. Unlucky, he wants to buy peach blossoms for good luck and comes across Ah Hao's stall again. Ah Hao refuses to sell the peach blossoms left for her lover. Ah Wei got drunk and went to Ah Hao's stall.
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.
