Yuu feels trapped in his hometown. He decides to go to Tokyo and visit his girlfriend, Megumi. Yuu tells her that he wants to live with her in Tokyo, but she is confused by his sudden visit. They end up having an argument. Yuu doesn't have a place to stay in Tokyo, and he ends up staying at a cheap sharehouse named Hakobune. Other people staying there include Yamaguchi, Maru, Yoshiko, Goro, and Kirishima. During his first night there, Yuu sees Yamaguchi and Maru having an argument. The next day, Yamaguchi seems to have disappeared altogether. Yuu gets a strange feeling because he remembers Yamaguchi stating his intentions to stay there for another six months. Soon, Yuu suspects some of the creepy residents at the sharehouse are responsible for unconscionably evil acts.
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.
