A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Pat Capone is synonymous with rock radio. More importantly, Capone is synonymous with Chicago rock radio. For over 30 years this Chicago native has been rocking the airwaves in ways few have ever done. Routinely #1 in the ratings, Capone is a proven winner. Starting his radio career at WXTB in Tampa, Capone hosted mornings and dominated the ratings in the 18-34 demographic. After 5 years he pivoted to WRCQ where again, he dominated Southwest Florida topping competitors such as syndicated giants Howard Stern, Bob and Tom and Bubba the Love Sponge. It was in 2005 that Capone's dream job came true, he was called home to rock at the legendary WLUP-FM, The Loop in his hometown of Chicago where he ended up hosting middays. Within six months of sliding into the driver's seat, Capone took The Loop's midday rankings from somewhere in the high teens to #1. Today, Pat is a popular on-air personality at Chicago radio station "Rock 95.5" WCHI-FM.
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.
