Alex Steacy (b. 1983)

Born:
December 27, 1983

Formerly known as LRR's "Foreign Correspondent," Alexander Marshall Steacy grew up in Victoria, B.C., and attended Oak Bay High School, where he met Graham, and the men who would later form LoadingReadyRun. Known for his editing skills and soundwork, he has helped with some of LRR's early videos, and made the bonus videos While Wii Were Waiting and Extreme Battle Challenge working long-distance from his then-home of Toronto. He also designed the sound for the ninja fight in The Return of The Bill.  On October 18th, 2008, he held a special 3 1/2-hour long Ask An Alex Live for fans who were unable to attend the 5th Anniversary Screening when the crew were not able to get a live feed working. Ask An Alex Live became a weekly feature. It first premiered on Saturdays at 8:00 PM EST, 5:00 PM PST. It next played at 6:00PM EST, 3:00 PM PST, and finally aired Fridays immediately after Inside the Moon. He also hosts more sporadically-scheduled broadcasts such as Let's Play (Watching Alex play various video games, such as Penumbra and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) and The Grill (Watching Alex and friends watch terrible movies, such as Dragonball Evolution and Twilight). Ask An Alex Live has gone on hiatus.  He has since returned to Victoria and is now a full-fledged member of the LRR crew. He writes the comic Cacti and made shazbot (on hiatus). His latest comic is The Tower. Most recently, he has revived the microshort spinoff series Crapshots. He also hosts Corrector's Commentary with Cam.

The Search Form


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.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
