Earlier I mentioned the hilarious MovieOS, which does all the things
computers in Hollywood movies do. I finally tracked down its origins (?) to
the Userfriendly comic. The storyline about the MovieOS starts here:

and continues for a couple of weeks (you'll have to click through a couple
of different storylines that intersect with this storyline, but it's worth
it).

There's also a nice page "Things Computers Can Do in Movies" (with a couple
of references to movies) here:

Enjoy :)
