But I Don't Have A Spoon is about the effect of low self-confidence and the consequences of trying to cheat looking after your mental health. Emet feels his voice & life are empty, not as important & interesting as all the other spoons. When visiting a university reunion, he sees his old friends, all of whom seem to be doing so well. Feeling the pressure of looking like a loser, Emet begins tweaking his stories to be a bit more interesting so he maybe he can finally have the admiration he's always wanted. A Masked Figure sits opposite him warning him that he's not the person he's saying he is, telling him he needs to eat his cereal and look after himself, but how can he eat without a spoon?
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.
