Darby O’Gill and the Little People (1959)

Americans calling my nation’s national holiday “Saint Patty’s Day” is one of those things that, as an Irishmouse, I am supposed to be Very Annoyed About. Honestly, it doesn’t bug me.

[paypal_donation_button]First an announcement: WE HAVE A WINNER! Julie Christianson correctly guessed what movie I saw first. It was Darby O’Gill and the Little People.

An Ode to Sean Connery

An Ode to Sean Connery

You may think it’s weird that I am writing about Sean Connery — a Scottish man– on St. Patrick’s day. But it all has to do with one of my favorite childhood films, Darby O’Gill and the Little People. My family through my paternal grandma is very Irish and so I grew up with a lot of Irish folktales like the stories of Finn MacCool but also stories geared towards Americans of Irish descent like the…

Three truths and a lie, St. Patrick’s Day Edition:

I grew up Irish dancing and thus I never went to school on St. Patrick’s Day because I had performances.

I mostly look like a leprechaun.

Every year, my family watched Darby O’Gill and the Little People sometime around St. Paddy’s day.

I despair every time someone calls it St. Patty’s Day. Who’s Patricia?

5 Movies to Watch to Prep for St. Patty's Day

CREDIT: Artisan/Lionsgate

It’s almost St. Patrick’s Day, and we all know what that means! Wait, do we all know what that means? Okay, I’m not entirely sure what that means. However, what I am sure of is that you should be getting into the spirit of the holiday beforehand. Support your Irish heritage! Or if you have no Irish heritage to support then create an Irish alter ego for yourself.

Here are…

Deathmatch 2017: This aggression will not stand, man.

During the 2016 election there was considerable debate as to whether Donald Trump was simply a con man using nativist rhetoric to win the nomination and who would then swiftly abandon populism and ram through a hard-right platform designed to enrich the one percent, or whether he was actually the racist authoritarian that he played on TV. The answer turned out to be: “Yes.” Things have gotten…
