#53"The Owen Wilson Wow API is not affiliated, associated, authorized, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected with Owen Wilson, or any of his subsidiaries or affiliates." That's just sad. Interjecting myself into a movie star's position, but if someone made a site like this based on my work in a fun light hearted manner like this, I'd endorse it. It's only an ignored request or a polite no response away, or a f…
Honestly, an endorsement by Owen Wilson would be amazing. Unfortunately, I wouldn't know how to reach him even if I wanted to. If anyone has any way for me to personally reach out to Owen Wilson, though, that would be dope.
Why not tweet at him while it’s hot on hacker news?

I don't even think he has a Twitter account. I found this, though: https://www.thehandbook.com/celebrity/owen-wilson/, worth a shot

#55Someone should make a celebrity soundboard of this where all the buttons just say "Wow"

#56Is this 'just' an insane amount of manual effort? I'm not particularly up on ML, but suspected it at first partly just because 'insane amount of manual effort', but also because many seem clipped too short. But the repo makes it seem very much just like a manual clip collection; acknowledges a 'listicle' of Wilson 'wow' films with 'wow' counts (slight reduction in novel manual effort.. but no timestamps).
100% manual effort, you're right. Took me about three weeks to compile all the clips and data in my spare time and upload them all to Contentful. I'm aware of three clips that others had told me to make a bit longer - I Spy, Drillbit Taylor (second wow), Shanghai Knights (third wow.) If there are others, feel free to let me know, the more input, the better.
I have to ask, what motivated you to see it through?

#57A bit off topic, but: What’s a funny test api that allows put requests?
I have a personal cheat sheet that I refer to when I need to make JSON/REST api request using base Python or Curl, since I don’t do this enough to actually remember how. Right now my examples pull chuck norris quotes, but it would be nice to have examples that aren’t just `get` in my tool box.

Basically, I had just finished coding a Twitter bot called @BreakingCasting which posts fake movie remake casting announcements. I really liked using the TMDB API for that so I figured I'd make another small project along the lines of movies/actors/Hollywood until I came up with something more substantive.
I'm pretty sure I came up with this Wow API in the shower and figured it'd be fun and easy - it ended up being fun and tedious. I started working on it on Valentine's Day, finished in early March. The main motivation to finish was my current project, Hollywoodle (https://hollywoodle.ml/), which I refused to start until the Wow API was done.

There are "curl builders" that provide UI for dummies like myself to create a curl cmd and then you can use a "curl to {golang|ruby|python}" [0] to generate code from the curl.
