ラストメール
Watase Nozomi has a boyfriend named Hasumi Tooru, but he doesn't appear when they are supposed to meet. For the next 2 weeks she can't get in touch with Tooru. Nozomi is devastated and finally decides to go to his apartment. When she arrives, Nozomi doesn't find Tooru in his apartment, but a cell phone under a stack of cloths starts to ring and she rushes to pick it up. She also sees a sheet of paper with black spots on it too. On the cellphone Nozomi reads a text message. She goes to the person's house who sent the text message. There Nozomi discovers that the text message came from a dead person. Text messages keeps arriving asking Nozomi to do favours.
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.
