A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Bob Schreck (born February 2, 1955) is an American comic book writer and editor, known for his work for publishers including Marvel Comics,Dark Horse Comics, Oni Press, DC Comics, and Legendary Comics. One of Shreck's earliest jobs in comics was working with Creation Entertainment on their Creation conventions. He later served as administrative director at Comico Comics. For much of the 1990s Schreck was an editor at Dark Horse Comics, and went on to found Oni Press in 1997. Then he went over to work as an editor at DC Comics, where he worked on the Batman comics and the All Star titles, but was laid off in January 2009. Schreck writes the comic book series Jurassic Park: Redemption, as well as being an editor, for IDW Publishing. In 2011, he served as the editor-in-chief to the new Legendary Comics, a graphic novel venture from Legendary Pictures.
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.
