They Don’t Make Princesses Like They Used To

by Bill McCurry | Jun 18, 2013 | Confidence, Entertainment, Humor, Movies

Because I am the best husband in the world, I recorded a Disney film on our DVR and left it there for my wife to find when she went to watch “True Blood.” I admit it wasn’t a premeditated act, but that doesn’t invalidate my best-husband status. You see, Friday night...
Something to Amuse and Perplex the Entire Family

Something to Amuse and Perplex the Entire Family

by Bill McCurry | Apr 10, 2013 | Confidence, Creativity, Entertainment, Fear, Humor, Life, Love, Marriage, Movies

Last night I looked up from writing my novel synopsis and eating peanut butter cookies, and I realized that this blog has achieved a phenomenal milestone. It has existed for 660 days. The significance may not punch you in the face right away, so I’ll explain. The...

Baron Yörg Goes to the Movies – Despicable Me

by Bill McCurry | Sep 29, 2012 | Acting, Entertainment, Humor, Movies

One disadvantage of being a soulless, horrific fiend, who with a mere glance can boil the marrow in the bones of the innocent, is that people think you don’t like cartoons. Peasants, tradesmen, and scruffy German professors who should know better all clasp this flabby...

Nobody Respects the Human Bladder Anymore

by Bill McCurry | Aug 10, 2012 | Acting, Entertainment, Humor, Movies

I’m watching this movie called Red Beard, and it’s a cool Japanese movie, even though it doesn’t have any sword fights. It does have Toshiro Mifune in it, who was a Japanese movie god in his day. For Japan, he was like Clint Eastwood and Robert DeNiro put together,...
