The official website is soliciting ideas from viewers under the theme "Let's make elementary school kids laugh for real!". The seven members of WEST. embody comedy sketches, songs, dance, and more in this all-contribution variety show that fully supports children's free-spirited ideas. The show's title, "Unpyoko," is a coined word created by the show and refers to "those exciting, free-spirited ideas that pop out when you think about it." Idea submissions are welcomed not only from elementary school kids, but also from adults who still have a childlike heart! WEST. will bring smiles to everyone's faces, from the children's generation to the parents' generation!
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.
