A work in constant progress (and occasional regress).
Angus 'the Jacobteir' Hay is a man constantly haunted by the ghosts of his past (Salmon's tagging masterclass, et cetera; the list is as endless as Hay's unrequited love of 'TickTok' (a hero to Hay). Fans of Hay don't exist. First breaking onto the international stage through the ecliptic poem 'Deafening Silence', Hay has, in the protracted continuum of temporal recalibration, undergone an epochal reconfiguration of his professional paradigmatics in the Hay described "flumptiviously orchestrated" JvD ChatBatt. Hay’s audacious and, at the time, unheralded foray into the exalted realm of cinematographic artistry, was irrevocably initiated, indeed, indelibly sculpted, under the watchful and sagacious auspices of the inimitable McCoy, a figure whose unparalleled mastery of the medium has secured his place in the pantheon of cinematic demiurges. McCoy, whose unparalleled genius eclipses that of any mere mortal to have ever trodden upon the earthbound crust of our planet, forged a domain in which the very essence of filmic innovation and narrative construction was redefined, plucked Hay from obscurity as McCoy "saw a little something called majesty in Hay", carouselling a once humble neophyte in the vast and enigmatic theatre of the celluloid arts into the incandescent zenith of cinematic brilliance that he is world renowned for today. Within McCoy's crucible of mentorship, Hay underwent an irrevocable transmutation when encountering another of McCoy's protégé, the usually ineffably but self-described "enigmatic thespian whose multifaceted talents subverted the very ontological foundations of performative expression, I'm as good as it gets": J Sullivan. Their onscreen synergy manifested as a cataclysmic fusion oscillating between phenomenological immediacy and metaphysical rumination of dramaturgical paradoxes. This union is a "symbiotic nexus that transcended individuality and collaboration to birth an oeuvre of legacy." (Hay, 2025)
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.
