Siri Gets Sassy

With all of the buzz surrounding the new Spike Jonze film “Her,” it seems like Siri is getting a little bit jealous! In the film, a lonely writer played by actor Joaquin Phoenix begins to develop strong feelings towards his operating systems named “Samantha” voiced by actress Scarlett Johansson. While none of us actually have our own “Samantha’s” I’d say that Siri is a close second. In the photo above, it looks like Siri is throwing some shade at her rival.

Is anyone else going to see this film?! I can’t wait to catch it next weekend!

Her

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS8zOLOcPMQ]

Apparently, I’m a little behind the times since this trailer came out this week and I’m just watching it now. This looks quite interesting though starring Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, Rooney Mara and Scarlett Johansson.

Don Jon

Written and directed by Joseph Gordon Levitt, the actor plays a character that resembles someone of a guido. Does this take place in Jersey Shore? I didn’t look it up, but probably. This seems like a very interesting character though and he’s co-starring alongside Scarlett Johansson.

Oscars 2011

Natalie Portman in Rodarte

I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to be the worst dressed at the Oscars these days because just about everyone has a stylist. I can’t say anything bad about the gowns worn this year, but obviously there are some I like more than others.
