Stephen McKenna

Steve McKenna is best known as the co-host of "Drinking Made Easy" on HDNet. McKenna and host Zane Lamprey traveled to US cities in the summer of 2010 as they shot 24 episodes exploring the local drinking cultures, customs and cocktails of each city.  McKenna first made his mark on television as the oft-mentioned “friend” of Lamprey on “Three Sheets”. Popping up in each of the 52 episodes, Lamprey referred to “Steve McKenna” as his friend who did funny things when he drank. McKenna became a mainstay on the show, developed a cult following of fans and his name became synonymous with drinking... Over the course of its four seasons, he became an integral part of the drinking game associated with the show: “Rule #2: When Zane mentions his buddy Steve McKenna, it’s a social (everyone drinks).” McKenna also appeared in several episodes, including Kentucky, New York City, London and Amsterdam.  In the summer of 2010, McKenna embarked on a three month tour with Lamprey and his “Drinking Made Easy” stand-up comedy show. They shot episodes for the television show by day and performed a live comedy show in 53 cities, by night. In the fall of 2010, McKenna learned to play the bass guitar for Lamprey’s second national tour, “Sing the Booze,” a comedy musical tour, which hit 27 US cities. The album, featuring McKenna, will be out in late spring 2011.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
