Welcome to the Powet Top 5, where we explore the top (and bottom) 5 items we think are relevant to any of a variety of topics that span the imagination. Sit back, read, and respond.

Artificial intelligence or AI as it’s known for short describes the minds of robots, computer systems, pretty much software. This intelligence is the basis for some of our favourite sci fi characters. This is not a list of the best AIs. This is a more specific list of only the best AIs with AI in their name. How common is that? Very common, as it would turn out. Are all of these intentional? Hard to say for sure but I think most of them are.

Keep reading to see my top 5 favourite artificial intelligences with A and I in their names.

Here my three hands on impression of the new Total Recall film starring Colin Farrel, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel and of course Kaitlyn Leeb as the prostitute with three boobs.

If you’re a child of the 80s you surely remember ALF! This Alien Life Form was the star of a successful sitcom that no one cares about anymore. But hey, no one cared about Garfield or Alvin and the Chipmunks, but that didn’t stop them from turning into successful film franchises! That’s right, there’s an ALF movie in the works!

Hollywood Reporter tells us that Sony Pictures Animation has aquired the rights to the franchise and plans on making a live action and CG hybrid film. That’s right, no more puppet, he’ll just be bad CG this time around! Will Gordon Shumway still be from Melmac? Will he once again be shacking up with the Tanner family? Will he still try to eat cats? If he does, will Seth McFarlane be involved? Will he be going to the city like those stupid Smurfs? Is there any chance this movie won’t be horrible?

If you were a fan of ALF back in the day and hate yourself, why not pick up the DVDs which include episodes which are conveniently edited for syndication!

Vulture brings us an interview with Lycia Naff who played Mary, the prostitute with three breasts from the original Total Recall. Lycia has since moved on from acting to work in journalism and gives us a very honest look at what was going on with her career and the film back in the day. Fans of Total Recall, Star Trek and even Baywatch should check it out.

It’s interesting to learn that the original plan was to have Mary have four breasts, but they found it made her look too much like a cow so they went with three. Like in the new film, this effect was done with three completely prosthetic breasts, rather than by simply adding one fake breast to two real ones. I’d spent quite a bit of time staring at these things to try to figure out which one was added, and had convinced myself it was the left breast (stage left) but it turns out I was totally wrong there!

Total Recall starring Kate Beckinsale was released today in theatres. I caught it this afternoon and thought it was great. A Q&A over at Next Movie has Kate revealing that when it originally looked like she couldn’t play the lead character of Lori in the film due to a scheduling conflict that she would have done a one day cameo as the fan favourite prostitute with three breasts!

That role eventually went to Kaitlyn Leeb who we’ve spoken about on this site a number of times. I would just like to confirm that despite a PG-13 rating we do actually see her three bare breasts in the film, though Kaitlyn herself has mentioned that all three are in fact prosthetic. She makes me wish I had three prosthetic hands!

Bonus three boob trivia: Colin Farrel’s character Douglas Quaid mentions in the film that his birthday is August 29th. This is the actual birthday of Lycia Naff, the actress who played Mary, the prostitute with three breasts in the original film! Coincidence? Probably. There are only 365 days in the year and 50 credited actors in the old film. It’s also Judgment Day…

Disney Channel shows get a bad rap! I get a lot of flack to watching them. While they are at times pretty horrible, there are a few of them that are really good and worth checking out. While everything on this list is admittedly fairly juvenile, and often subject to cliches, these shows are often very funny, and are a kind of proving ground for some pretty good actors.

Disney makes a lot of shows, but this list is just about Disney Channel series. This means nothing from the Disney afternoon or anything that wasn’t made for Disney Channel proper will be included. I also understand that everyone is in love with Phineas and Ferb but I haven’t watched that show so it’s not on my list. If you don’t like my list, let us know what yours is!

Kaitlyn Leeb, who will star in the upcoming Total Recall remake as the prostitute with three breasts made an in costume appearance at San Diego Comic-con and makes us wish we had 3 hands! Kaitlyn worked at the Total Recall booth and even posed with fellow Total Recall stars Jessica Biel and Bryan Cranston. We here at Powet are big fans of the original prostitute with three boobs from Total Recall and are very excited to see Kaitlyn in action in what will surely be the defining role of her career. She can be seen in the latest trailer which we posted a few weeks ago when we first talked about this very important character.

The question on everyone’s mind of course is which boobs are real and which are fake? Well, as Kaitlyn has mentioned on twitter, they’re actually all prosthetics.

Jessica Biel shared a photo of her and Kaitlyn Leeb saying “I found the most popular girl at #ComicCon! Two girls, five boobs. #TotalRecall”. Intentional 2 girls 1 cup reference? Maybe…

Total Recall hits theatres August 3rd. Keep reading for more photos of Kaitlyn Leeb at SDCC 2012.
