I was born and raised in Texas, and I've never lived anywhere else. (That always throws people when they find out that I don't use the word "y'all" or eat barbecue.) I'm a proud graduate of SFA, where I got a degree in communications. Now I talk to myself and play on the internet for a living.

New Movies In Theaters (Besides ‘Avengers’)
There are a couple of new movies in theaters this weekend, though I'm not really sure why the studios bothered. We all know Avengers is going to make all of the money. ALL OF IT.
