Faris Answers Questions About Time Travel
Filed under: Comedy, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Casting, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand
Here's a question for Anna Faris, one I'm sure has been frequently asked: Why do you continue to make such crappy movies? I completely understand using the original Scary Movie as a launching pad to bigger and better things, but then how do you justify Scary Movie 2, 3, 4 and 5? (Oh yes, they are making a part five. Now, that's scary.) Granted, she was decent in Just Friends, albeit a bit over-the-top, but if she remains on this course, Faris will turn into another Amy Smart -- just some blonde girl who looks sort of familiar, but never really stands out.
For her next role, Faris will be traveling across the pond, as well as through time, in the sci-fi comedy Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel. She'll be joined by three up-and-coming British comic actors; Chris O'Dowd (The IT Crowd), Dean Lennox Kelly (Shameless) and Marc Wootton (Confetti). Pic, which was written by Jamie Mathieson, revolves around two geeks and their cynical friend who "attempt to navigate a time-travel conundrum in the middle of a British pub." Wait, a British comedy that takes place in a British pub? Get out! Faris plays some girl who arrives from the future (hot off a stint in Scary Movie 12?) to help these boys along on their adventure. Gareth Carrivick will begin directing this epic next week in the UK.

I feel kind of sad for miss Anna Faris downgrading her image by associating herself with these Scary crappy movies. But at least she is working, and (in some small way) making us laugh.
She did a decent job in Ivan Reitman's My Super Ex-girlfrind, with Uma (Kill Bill) A movie only 6 people saw.
For the last Scary Muvie I took my two nephews (15 and 17 years old) I spent about $60 with parking (New york)I kept wishing for the shower scene to show at least her back side (you know the creepy hand shaving her underamrms) Nothing. No money shot.
Damn. My $60!!!
For the next SM (what is it, 6, 7?) I only wish miss Faris would show a litle more skin. She has a voluptious figure that is not being used properly in this exploitative comedies.
Anyway, I like time travel and British humor, so I will see her next film, hoping once again see Anna's back side.
Note to slapstick directors: if I have to pay my hard-earned cash to see Borat's ass, Charlie Sheen's butt, Leslie Nilsen's crack. Isn't fair i get my money's worth with Anna's voluptious cheeks? (after all hers are better looking than these 3 guys)
Damn! my $60!!!
