Welcome to our movies tool. You can read more about it below.
About the Movies toolTo be truthful, this was made first just to please ourselves. We wanted an easier way to get the current movie times for our favorite theatres and built this application to provide that. As Eric S. Raymond (i hope) said: "Every good work of software starts by scratching a developer's personal itch."That is certainly the case with this application (though whether it's any good will have to be for you to decide :) What you see here is nothing amazing. Just theatres and, if you click on their links, the movies playing. This simple is comprised of the cgi script and the python module moviesHandler.py. Click the links to view the source. Wireless!
What becomes MUCH more interesting, is if you have any kind of
simple emailJust send an email to allmovies@swdev.com with the theatre's "key" as the subject of the message. To see what happens, try it with your desktop email program by clicking on the "key" link to the right. If you instead send email to the address movies@swdev.com, you'll get a host of replies, one email for each movie playing at that theatre with the movie as the subject and the times as the body. Perfect for text pagers or cell phone text message. :-) Good Luck! And I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. |
