You may or may not have noticed that sometimes Siri says crazy things. We recently noticed that Siri summarizes movies in a pretty funny way, too. Siri seems to have a distinct preference for Sci-Fi (who can blame her?), though she also has a few words to say about the classic Wizard of Oz, as well as Pixar’s Toy Story.

Siri is such a dear. Not only can she give me the weather report, the latest game stats, remind me to milk the cow at 4:30 am (on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays), but she can also tickle my funny bone.

I trust that Apple, without Scott Forstall (the head…

It all started with a red puffy vest Cooper already had and a side comment from my husband about Marty McFly in late September. I’ve always loved Back to the Future, and love cars since I was little and grew up going to car shows with my Dad; what better way to tote my 1yr old son around on Halloween than in a transformed $25 Step2 push car I bought off of the kidsale alias at work? So, I spent a few weekends and nights in October recreating the iconic DeLorean with cardboard, tape, paint, and a little help with some EL lighting from my husband, Jeremy. The perfect costume for Cooper’s…

When it comes to choosing a presidential candidate, you have to think of what they’ll bring to the table. And if it’s a zombie apocalypse you want, then you should vote for Mitt Romney, according to filmmaker Joss Whedon.

The Avengers director released a spoof video endorsing the Republican candidate, saying, “Like a lot of liberal Americans, I was excited when Barack Obama took office four years ago. But it’s a very different world now, and Mitt Romney is a very different candidate.”

Why is he different, you ask?

That’s funny. I thought that the last few presidents have worked…

Hopefully a marriage joined with this ring will last more than 38 minutes. The Seattle-based company Wedding Band Designs says that the inner ring spins like a real stargate!

Okay, wow. I have no reason to link to this other than just the utter absurdity of such a thing. I love me some Stargate, but I sure wouldn’t be interested in a Stargate wedding ring.

Still, you have to marvel at the sheer nerdery involved here.

“My drug days have long since passed,” Pitt told THR as reported by The Guardian. “But I could probably land in any American city and within 24 hours find whatever you want. But we still support this charade called the drug war. We spent a trillion dollars over 40 years and a lot of people have lost their lives over it.”

“After prohibition, we regrouped and said it was a bad idea what we’re doing. Now we have a system where alcohol is illegal for children; the government profits off it; grownups can use it responsibly, which means if I go out in my car and kill some one it’s…

ATG’s very own ‘Art’ shows us how to beat Super Mario Bros. fast.  No mods. No hacks. No cheats. Just pure vanilla Super Mario Bros. completed in less than 9 minutes using warp zones. Played using the “All-Stars” version of the game, which has improved 16-bit graphics and audio.

I know this is not strictly related to movies — I can’t even find an excuse of a relationship. But I wanted to share this because we had a special guest on the podcast which we recorded last night and which we will be releasing a little later today. This is from our friend Stewart Adams, formerly one of the…

Seems like a good superpower to me.

Yes, you were all right. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a good show. In fact, I’d even go so far as to say it’s a great show—maybe not consistently great, but one that more often than not reaches highs I’d have never thought a show with that title, on those networks, was capable of reaching.

Yes, I admit it, I’m a geek. I liked Buffy. So sue me. Certainly seasons one through three. The later seasons began to have more and more issues, but I liked Buffy. So apropos of nothing, I’m sharing it with you. You should read the linked article, it’s fun.

Yeah, it was late 90s TV and sometimes it…

Need to get your super-hero library caught up with all the current movies? Amazon may be able to help with that if one of those movies you are missing is Iron Man 2.

Who knows how long it will last, but right now, you can get Iron Man 2 for $9.99 at Amazon. Seems like a great deal to me! So go and buy.
