Boske moved to Newcastle at the age of 18 to work as a professional rugby player at the Newcastle Falcons. Earlier in the Netherlands he played at the Rugby Club Hilversum, where he played with Scottish international Tim Visser, among others. After three years he got injured during the County Cup Final and stopped playing rugby temporarily. Back in the Netherlands, he resumed his career at the Rugby Club Hilversum two years later, winning the Dutch title five times. In the same period, Boske became active for BNN University, where he learned to make radio and conduct short interviews. After four years he switched to Veronica, where he presented several programs, such as the Brouwersch and De Fukkers programs. He participated in the Roadtrippers travel program in 2014 and 2015, with which he and two others competed against the StukTV team who could hitchhike the most kilometers in a given time.
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.
