Oh Hi Cowboys & Aliens!

I love movies as much as the next nerd. But sometimes they’re just full of crap. So I’m going to post a few “spoilers” for real life from some famous movies. I worked on a bunch of these with some friends (props to Josh and Chase), so send me your ideas in the Comments section [...]
