Attack This: Sci-Fi Inspired Breakthroughs
Posted by Eugene Morton - Tuesday, January 15, 2008 4:48 PM
 You’ve got to hand it to Hollywood. They create fantastic inventions, people and even entire worlds for the silver screen, some of which the Average Joe couldn’t think of if you gave him a million years. What’s better is that sometimes the amazing inventions that originally exist only in the world of fantasy become real world items.
Today’s inventions are perfect examples of that. There’s no way a bunch of egghead scientists would have come up with this stuff on their own. They saw movies when they were kids that inspired them to create the wondrous. Hooray for Hollywood!

Zach In Hong Kong: Macau Tower
Posted by Eugene Morton - Tuesday, January 15, 2008 12:10 PM
 Hong Kong is rich with intrigue. There’s so much to enjoy; the food, the people, the rich cultural heritage, but the most obvious thing is the unique architecture. We’re not just talking about the traditional stuff (with roots that reach back to the Tang Dynasty or farther) either.
No, we’re talking about the more modern structures as well, such as Macau Tower, which Zach will visit today. Take in the grand sights of this modern marvel, a big part of the so called “Las Vegas of Asia,” because who knows when you’ll be able to see it up close again.

Posted by Eugene Morton - Tuesday, January 15, 2008 10:04 AM
Chris Gore, the mastermind behind Film Threat and co-author of The Complete DVD Book is back again and he’s brought a slew of new DVD releases with him.
He’ll tell you which ones deserve a prominent spot on your shelf, which one’s are fun for a weekend and which ones need to be lit on fire and set adrift at sea, like Weekend at Bernie's 7: The Awakening (which is not a real movie, so you don’t need to look it up on imdb).
Today, Chris will review 3:10 to Yuma, Sunshine and Rapid Fire.

Today On AOTS!
Posted by Eugene Morton - Tuesday, January 15, 2008 9:39 AM
 As much as we’d like to make the claim that things are back to normal today, Macworld is happening right now and we can’t claim normalcy in the middle of a whirlwind. You’d better believe we’re going to be paying extra close attention to the goings on in San Franciso, but that’s not all.
On today’s show we’ll review the latest DVD releases in DVDuesday, surf the web for the coolest blogs in BlogWatch and continue our coverage of Zach’s adventures in Hong Kong.
To think, you get all of this for just pennies a day.
