The Deluge – (1974 movie)

Projects > Entertainment >

It’s taken me years to accumulate a satisfactory collection of movies.

See Movies I liked, and movies I loved. Below is a rough list, which will eventually be absorbed into separate pages.

See also:



  • DVD is/was one of the major home distribution formats.
  • Disc rot is one way a CD dies over time.

  • Superbit were high-quality DVDs.

As I re-watch, I’m adding ratings. Note that different locales have different ratings, and I’m only applying what is noted in the IMDB.

G “General Audiences”
TV-Y “This program is designed to be appropriate for all children.”
TV-Y7 “This program is designed for children age 7 and above.”
TV-G Most parents will find this program suitable for all ages.
NC-17 “Adults Only”
PG-13 “Parents Strongly Cautioned”
TV-14 “This program contains material that most parents would find unsuitable for children under 14 years of age.”
PG “Parental Guidance Suggested”. GP is early 1970s PG.
TV-PG “This program contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children.”
TV-MA “This program is specifically designed to be viewed by adults and therefore may be unsuitable for children under 17.”
MA (Synonymous with TV-MA)
R “Restricted”
X (on Wikipedia) (An unofficial rating which is contemporarily considered R or NC-17)
Unrated or NR Not rated with one of the above. Before the more adult ratings were decided, many old films were released as self-applied unrated so they could avoid being associated with the X rating, as it became de facto applied to pornography.
(inappropriately rated) Things which shouldn’t have gotten away with their rating.

Some TV ratings have additional flags:

D Sexual or suggestive dialogue (not used with the TV-MA rating)
L Coarse or crude language
S Sexual situations
V Violence
FV Fantasy violence (exclusive to the TV-Y7 rating)

Introduction ∞

Though I was working on a script I’ll do things manually. It’s got a more personal touch to it.

I’m still not entirely certain how to organize/label films, but I’m fairly satisfied with the latest incarnation. Yes, I intend to do my own thing.. fuck the world.

  2. 2019-11-10 – Once upon a time I just kept one page with all my movies listed. Maybe I wrote little notes for each one, but I quickly started making pages for each one. Fast forward to today, and all my movies are listed like that, with much more detailed notes.

    My note from back then:

    —

    Movies has been carved into individual pages. It’ll have to be figured out somewhat better in the future. For now it’s been simplified.
