Biography from TheMovieDB

Scott Hanson was one of probably just a dozen babies born to mothers in Soldier, Iowa in 1961. The city leaders, staring down the double barrel of Scott's intellect and talent, quickly realized his educational requirements would demand the cooperation of neighboring Moorhead, Iowa. Thus the consolidated East Monona Community School District was formed with just 3 years to spare. As one of only twenty three students in his grade, Scott met the rigorously enforced "warm body" requirement of the Act Club and took to the stage for school productions. At the same time, the student newspaper beckoned, and Scott committed forced entry on the world of print journalism. Next stop, broadcasting! It all began at a small, 10 watt radio station in Sioux City, IA. Morningside College's KMSC (Your Big Friend in the Midwest with the 10 Watt Arms) offered Scott the first opportunity to embarrass himself in front of a sizable group of people efficiently. Soon, he was being paid to put on make up and say true things at KCAU-TV, while completing college. Resettling in Raleigh to begin a video marketing company, Scott was shooting an audition as a favor for a friend when she suggested he contact her agent since casting directors believe former news people to have the range and depth needed to play news people. He did, and they do.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
