Richard Charles Fishel was a Salt and Pepper Miniature Schnauzer who was born on September 10, 2004 in Cabot, Pennsylvania and was put to rest on September 19, 2017 in Butler, Pennsylvania. A typical Schnauzer, he was friendly, spirited, and alert. He enjoyed being petted, scratched on the nose and behind the ears, rubbed on the belly, walking on trails and in parks, riding in cars, eating Greenies, chewing bones, being the neighborhood watchdog, playing with other canines, and putting a smile on people's faces and warming their hearts with his cheerful eyes, infectious smile, and affable demeanor. His best friends in life were Lucky, a Basset Hound and Golden Retriever mix, Gatto and Checkers, black and white American domestic short-haired felines, and Bobby, a Tennessee Mountain Cur. Being a very photogenic canine, he was not shy when it came to posing for the camera. Richard loved everyone he came into contact with and was loved by all whose path he crossed.
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.
