Original Title:
Popstars
Popstars was a Portuguese reality television series based on the Popstars international series. In Portugal, Popstars was broadcast on the Portuguese Sociedade Independente de Comunicação channel in 2001. The program was discontinued after one season. The series introduced the all girl band Nonstop sometimes stylized as NonStop. The band proved to be very successful specially with Portuguese youth with their hot singles "Ao Limite Eu Vou" and "Tudo Vai Mudar". The first went on to become the best played single for the year. In 2006, NonStop represented Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest with "Coisas de Nada".
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.
