It is a morning scene of an ordinary family in what appears to be the Tama district in Tokyo, but is typical everywhere in Japan. Ikuta Kosuke and his wife Sanae have just moved into a newly-built detached house with their two children Mina and Satoru. The breadwinner of the family, Kosuke is a kind, family-oriented man, but oddly has a tendency to be a stickler for things and a dreamer. He has secretly been longing for life in his own house to be similar to what is shown in television dramas. However, reality has been quite different. Small home issues such as the problems of the dining table’s “lived-in feel”, the sofa that is practically “dead”, and the juicer that should be used to make fresh juice every morning – are very grating to a stickler like him. This is simply an average morning in any family.
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.
