Quarto + Shiny

Finally got the refresh to work!!! The Shiny App is hosted at: https://hardin47.shinyapps.io/horrormovies/

The Data

Data set was extracted from The Movie Datbase via the tmdb API using R httr.

New Movie Titles

Once again, imitation is the most sincere form of flattery. I’m building on the analysis by @c_borstell. Most of the code is taken directly from their GitHub post.

The basic idea of @c_borstell is to take the horror movie titles and break them down into their parts of speech (nouns, adjectives, adverbs, etc.). Then to create a new movie title, randomly select to put together a title which is:

The Noun1 Adposition Determiner Adjective Noun2

The sentence structure breakdown is done using the package udpipe.

Make one poster:

A horror movie poster created from the parts of speech taken from the titles of a large horror movie dataset. This one says 'The Tales at the Paranormal Exorcism: We will be rising...'
