Sona Movsesian started out working as an assisant for Conan O'Brien on Conan, and appeared multiple times on the show. Her most notable segments include binge-watching 58 episodes of Friends while at work, being interviewed instead of Kumail Nanjiani when he had to cancel last-minute, and traveling to Armenia with Conan in an episode of Conan Without Borders. Sona Movsesian has been the co-host of Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend since 2018, alongside Conan O'Brien and Matt Gourley. In 2022 her book The World's Worst Assistant was released, about her time working for Conan O'Brien and how she ended up becoming "The World's Worst Assistant".
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.
