Because of the scandal on the air, the famous TV presenter of the prime talk show leaves the capital and gets a job as a literature teacher at a school near Moscow. An unsuccessful joke during the release of the talk show "Shall we chat?" cost its host Arseny Platonov his career. Yesterday's star, he returns to his mother in a small town near Moscow. The new headmaster of the school, which Arseny graduated from ten years ago, is glad to meet such a respected and popular person in a local bar. And he insistently invites Platonov to school to conduct several electives for high school students on the topic "Secrets of success".
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.
