One day, the weary Count Purée de Carottes comes to Kronkel's real estate office, asking him to find a buyer for his castle as soon as possible. The Count is going crazy because of the harassment of the ghosts that live there. While cleaning up the castle, Jonas, Kronkel's seventeen-year-old son, finds a pair of glasses in the cellar with a very special property: he can see the ghosts with them. These ghosts initially see Jonas as a threat, but eventually they become friends and Jonas becomes an ally in bullying away potential buyers brought in by Kronkel. Each ghost has its own character and carries its own personal past, which sometimes leads to tensions between the ghosts themselves. After all, they often died less heroically than they claim to the others.
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.
