Biography from TheMovieDB

Charles Albert, nicknamed Mowgli or Barefoot Charles, born September 10, 1997, is a French climber, bouldering specialist. Charles Albert is known for his high-level bouldering achievements (8C/8C+) barefoot.  Charles started climbing around the age of 7, with his father and the Avon climbing club. He mainly practices bouldering, on the site of Fontainebleau and has distinguished himself for a few years by his "minimalist" style, that is to say climbing without the traditional bouldering equipment (neither slippers nor crash-pad). Around 2015, his high-level barefoot achievements began to be reported in the specialized media.  In February 2016, he won the French Junior Bouldering Championship. Charles Albert has barefooted several high-level boulders, around 8B+/8C, mainly in Fontainebleau, such as Gecko assis (8B+), La Pierre Philosophale (8B), Mystério (8B). In 2016, aged 19, he repeated barefoot The Alchimist (8C) through the original release (left), which he rated 8B+. The same year, he rehearsed La Révolutionnaire (8C)5 and The Caliper (8C+) using an original method. In 2017, he produced the 8C seated version of Délire Onirique in Fontainebleau. In January 2019, he made (still barefoot) the first ascent of "No Kpote Only" in Fontainebleau, for which he offered the rating of 9A. Until then, only the Finnish Nalle Hukkataival had offered such a rating for "Burden of Dreams".

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.
