Argumentative, sarcastic and smart girl, KUNG MING LI (CHAN SUK LAN, SHELLA) is invited to join the radio station FM701. There she meets CHANG KWOK PO (CHEUNG TAT MING) and YU TAK LUK (KOK TAK CHIU, VINCENT) who have embarrassed and humiliated her before. PO is very smart but a bit sneaky, so he only has a small post in the station. He and LUK together form a partnership, named ‘Traffic Marios’, and report the traffic news. LUK is honest and simple-minded. He is sometimes friendly but occasionally unpleasant towards PO. LI is asked to work with PO and LUK for a new show. She quite often yells at and teases them for revenge. These ‘Marios’ of course will not let her beat them and fight back when the time is right. The three of them quarrel with each other leading to lots of hilarious jokes...
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.
