Foreign Body was a 2008 webseries coproduced by former Walt Disney CEO Michael Eisner's production company Vuguru, former Walt Disney executives Dominique Bourse's and Pierre Sissmann's production company Cyber Group Studios and the internet series production company Big Fantastic, the creators of SamHas7Friends and Prom Queen. The series, which ran from May 27 through August 4, 2008, had 50 episodes of approximately 2 minutes each, with a new video posted every weekday. The series was a prequel and promotion for the Robin Cook novel of the same name, which was released on August 5, 2008, the day after the series finale. Portions of the series shot in India, and it cost a reported $10,000 per episode to create.

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.
