One on One with "Cloudy 2" Star Anna Faris
(July 2013) At the 2013 San Diego Comic Con Anna Faris talked to us about playing a smart character in an animated film.
Anna Faris "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" Interview
Anna Faris lends her voice to a perky weathergirl covering the unusual phenomenon of food falling from the sky in "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs." Faris joined writer/directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller at the LA premiere to chat up the comedy.
Anna Faris and Seth Rogen on "Observe and Report"
Seth Rogen chases Anna Faris in the twisted comedy "Observe and Report," but that one-sided pursuit only exists on the screen. In real life, the two get along well and are admirers of one another's work and of "Observe and Report's" writer/director Jody Hill ("The Foot Fist Way").
On the Red Carpet at the "Observe and Report" Premiere
Anna Faris co-stars with Seth Rogen in Warner Bros Pictures' comedy movie, "Observe and Report." And looking absolutely gorgeous, Faris chatted up the film at its LA premiere - and talked about her new Pug puppy.
The Cast Talks About "The House Bunny"
Anna Faris, the star of the "Scary Movie" franchise, was an integral part of "The House Bunny" process, helping to come up with the basic storyline, pitching the story to producers, and seeing it through to the end. "It was amazing," Faris said of being intimately involved behind-the-scenes.
On the Pink Carpet - Anna Faris
Not only does Anna Faris star in "The House Bunny," she also worked hard behind the scenes as an executive producer and helped come up with the idea for the story. At the film's premiere, it was apparent Faris is very proud of the finished film.
Anna Faris Sets Up a Stalker Comedy
(Apr 2011) Anna Faris pitched a strike with her idea for a stalker comedy, with Paramount Pictures coming on board the project. The Hollywood Reporter reports Faris is set to star and executive produce the untitled comedy, with Joe Roth and Palak Patel producing.
Anna Faris to Star in "Private Benjamin"
(March 2010) I'm not usually a fan of remakes, but this one might actually work. Might. New Line Cinema's readying a "Private Benjamin" remake and has set, according to a story The Hollywood Reporter broke, Anna Faris to star.
Anna Faris Nabs a Lead Voice Role
(Sep 2008) Anna Faris, Bill Hader, and James Caan will voice characters in "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs," an animated comedy based on the bestselling childrens book.

The Stupak Bomb
by Charles Lemos, Thu Nov 12, 2009 at 06:03:37 PM EST
In a story about Representative Bart Stupak, D-Yooperville, making threats -"there will be hell to pay" - if his amendment prohibiting any coverage of abortion in the public option and prohibiting anyone receiving a federal subsidy from purchasing a health insurance plan that includes abortion is struck down, Steve Benen of the Washington Monthly quotes the office of GOP Minority Whip Eric Cantor as "if defeating Stupak wouldn't [have changed] the outcome on Saturday, then it is clearly evident that having it in and sparking a civil war amongst the Democrats is the best way to stop the overall bill."
The GOP is beyond gleeful that the culture wars have opened wounds within the Democratic party and given them an opening to derail passage of any comprehensive healthcare bill. That tells you all you need to know about the mindset that pervades today's GOP. Still Time's Amy Sullivan offers some comfort:
I'm also not sure that Stupak can count on 40 pro-life Democrats to oppose health reform in the final hour. The best estimates from House Whip James Clyburn--which match what I'm hearing from calling around--are that the Stupak amendment moved about ten Democrats who would otherwise have opposed health reform. Given the very small margin of victory, the Democratic leadership needed all ten. But it also looks likely--and I'll have more on this later--that a compromise short of the Stupak amendment would have assuaged almost everyone but Stupak.
It's worth noting as well that at least 40 pro-choice Democrats led by Congresswoman Diana DeGette have vowed to oppose a final version of health reform if it includes the Stupak language. I've talked to a lot of people this week who outright dismiss that possibility because "these are liberals--they want health reform. They won't vote against it." But that's the same thing we heard for months about the Stupak coalition. "They're just making noise. They'll vote for it in the end." And while, yes, some of those pro-life Democrats were also conservatives who opposed health reform--and voted against it anyway--on other grounds, many were Catholics who want health reform for social justice reasons.
Bottom line: this fight isn't going away. Polls may show that voters care far more about the economy and other matters than social issues right now. But in Congress, decades of old wounds over abortion fights have been reopened.
In allowing a vote on the Stupak-Pitts Amendment, Speaker Pelosi may have unwittingly altered the direction not just of this healthcare bill but of the Democratic Party and perhaps of the Obama presidency. It is safe to say that we are in a pickle of our own making. As Dave Weigel noted in the , "by letting it [the Stupak-Pitts Amendment] pass, a decision intended to give some temporary cover to vulnerable [Democratic] incumbents ended up opening a rift in their party.
The ripples of the Stupak vote are hitting the Senate before they can hit Pelosi. A major reason for Republican and conservative self-congratulation about the amendment is the puzzle its created for Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nevada). A semi-reliable vote against abortion rights until he became his partys Senate leader in 2004, Reid is in the position of crafting language that can appeal to Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.)who has said he approves of the Stupak amendmentprovide cover to Democrats like Sen. Bob Casey (D-Penn.), and avoid losing pro-abortion rights votes like that of Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.)
"Theyre in a major bind," said Michael Franc, director of government relations at the Heritage Foundation. "The only way to get out of it is for one of the two Democratic camps to go against something they believe deeply. There has to be intellectual flanking movement, somebody convincing them that the future of party at stake, they cant let this 100-year achievement flounder over this one thing."
For anti-abortion rights activists, the muddle is a victory nine months in the making. "If it hadnt been for National Right to Life working in the trenches since January," said Douglas Johnson, "this legislation would have passed sooner and by a larger margin. Remember, the president and the speaker and much of the mainstream media had been saying all year long that abortion wasnt in the bill. If they had been able to pull off this smuggling operation, it would have moved faster and passed sooner." It happened, said Johnson, because of "the tenacity of pro-life Democrats like Stupak."
In an op-ed in today's New York Times, Kate Michelman, the former president of Naral Pro-Choice America, and Frances Kissling, the former president of Catholics for Choice, lay it all out:
The Democratic majority has abandoned its platform and subordinated women's health to short-term political success. In doing so, these so-called friends of women's rights have arguably done more to undermine reproductive rights than some of abortion's staunchest foes. That Senate Democrats are poised to allow similar anti-abortion language in their bill simply underscores the degree of the damage that has been done.
Many women -- ourselves included -- warned the Democratic Party in 2004 that it was a mistake to build a Congressional majority by recruiting and electing candidates opposed to the party's commitment to legal abortion and to public financing for the procedure. Instead, the lust for power yielded to misguided, self-serving poll analysis by operatives with no experience in the fight for these principles. They mistakenly believed that giving leadership roles to a small minority of anti-abortion Democrats would solve the party's image problems with "values voters" and answer critics who claimed Democrats were hostile to religion.
Democrats were told to stop talking about abortion as a moral and legal right and to focus instead on comforting language about reducing the number of abortions. In this regard, President Obama was right on message when he declared in his health care speech to Congress in September that "under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions" -- as if this happened to be a good and moral thing. (The tone of his statement made the point even more sharply than his words.)
The party has distanced itself from the abortion-rights movement in other ways. It has taken to calling Democrats who oppose a woman's right to choose "pro-life" (and not "anti-choice"). The group Democrats for Life of America, whose Congressional members ultimately led the battle to exclude private insurance companies that cover abortions from health insurance exchanges, was invited to hold a press conference in Democratic Party offices. The party has promoted "pro-life progressives" like Sojourners, Catholics United and Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, organizations whose leaders have stated that abortions should be made "more difficult to get."
This, then, is where we stand as party leaders celebrate passage of the House bill. When it comes to abortion, they seem to think all positions are of equal value so long as the party maintains a majority. But the party will eventually reap what it has sown. If Democrats do not commit themselves to defeating the amendment, then they will face an uncompromising effort by Democratic women to defeat them, regardless of the cost to the party's precious majority.
In the meantime, the victims of their folly will be the millions of women who once could count on the Democratic Party to protect them from those who would sacrifice their rights for political gains.
Abandoning principles for short-term political gain is never a recipe for success. We're in a bind.

Criação De Valor Através Da Estratégia De Procrastinação
AbstractThis research considers a mathematical model for pricing the procrastination option. The concept of procrastination will be discussed from the point of view of Psychology, Economy, Finance and Strategy. The maximum limit of the strategy of procrastination will be investigated, considering the cash flow loss due to the possible first move of the competition and considering the benefit of the reduction of uncertainty due to the information that becomes available as time passes. A simulation will be presented aiming to establish the benefits of the optimum exercise of the option. The results, amongst others, suggest that one must delay projects in environments in which the costs of procrastination, measured by a salience parameter, are low; the factor of decline of the cash flows of projects is low and the increment of risk in the short term is high. The limitations of the study and the applicability of the model for the Brazilian reality are also discussed.

We're a little under 24 hours away from the arrival of the 2014 Oscar nominations: tomorrow morning at 8:30 a.m. EST/5:30 a.m. PST, Chris Hemsworth will drag his space viking physique out of bed to join Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs in reading out the nominations. We made our predictions yesterday, and as you've seen, many of the categories are still in flux, with the potential for lots of shocks and surprises to follow tomorrow morning.
But what of the poor films and performers who were never really in the hunt? Oscar prognostication is valuable in many ways, but there's a slight sense that it leads to a narrative that's hard to break out of—if enough people say that a film's an Oscar nominee, do the Academy follow suit? (We're planning an experiment for next year, by using the term "Best Picture front-runner 'I, Frankenstein' as often as possible" and seeing what happens.)
Back in November and December, we spent some time highlighting the performances that we thought were deserving of being at least in the conversation. We'll see tomorrow if the Academy were listening (spoiler: no, they weren't, they were watching "Saving Mr. Banks"), but to bring us into the home stretch before the nominations, we thought we'd pick out some of our favorites again, as well as talk about a few other nominations that we'd love to see (but are, frankly, very unlikely to). Take a look below, and let us know your own wish-list in the comments section.
Best Supporting Actress: Joanna Scanlan - "The Invisible Woman"
Among a very fine cast led by the terrific (and also awards-worthy) Felicity Jones, the absolute stand-out of Ralph Fiennes' underrated biopic of Nelly Ternan, the long-time mistress of Charles Dickens, is a face who may not be especially familiar to American audiences—Joanna Scanlan, who plays Dickens' wife Catherine. Scanlan is best-known in the U.K. for her amazing performance as civil service jobsworth Terri in Armando Iannucci's "The Thick of It," and as the co-creator and star of dark nursing comedy "Getting On" (recently remade by HBO). But given the comic nature of those parts, she's a rather unexpected face to see in a role like this; a woman whose marriage has been sexless and loveless for so long that she's become cold out of self-preservation but who can't disguise the deep hurt when she finds that she's been betrayed. Scanlan only has a few brisk scenes, and is mostly absent from the second half of the film, but she makes an indelible and crucial impression on the whole: one scene in particular, as she comes to Ternan to deliver a present from Dickens that was delivered to her by mistake, is one of the most heartbreaking, generous and powerful bits of acting I've seen all year. Unfortunately, Scanlan's low profile, and the lack of heat on the film as a whole, will see her overlooked.
Best Supporting Actress: Adepero Oduye - "12 Years a Slave"
Bar Brad Pitt's distractingly saintly late-game cameo, almost every performer in "12 Years a Slave" could make a strong argument for picking up an acting nomination: it's an ensemble of such depth and diversity that an Oscar-nominated actress can crop up almost unnoticed in the opening scenes (yep, that's "Beasts of the Southern Wild" star Quvenzhane Wallis as Solomon Northup's daughter). The film looks like it'll lead to nods for Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and, in the Supporting Actress category, breakout star Lupita Nyong'o, but there's plenty more where they came from. In terms of supporting actresses in the film alone, Sarah Paulson continues to demonstrate what an asset she is to filmmakers with her loathsome, but recognizably human mistress, and Alfre Woodard risks walking away with the whole film with an enormously impressive one-scene cameo, one of the movie's highlights. But if we had to pick one other actress to join Nyong'o as a nominee, it'd be Adepero Oduye. The actress deserved awards attention a few years ago for her role in Sundance breakout "Pariah," which sadly didn't break into the awards race (though she picked up a Spirit Award nomination), and her role in "12 Years a Slave" is an unshowy one: she plays Eliza, a free woman captured alongside Ejiofor's Northup, and separated by Paul Giamatti's demonic slave trader from her children. It would be easy for the part to be nothing but weeping and wailing, but Oduye does a remarkable job with only a few short scenes in painting the true depths of Eliza's despair, while also going toe-to-toe with Ejiofor as she points out the kind of complacency he falls into early on. Being smaller than Nyong'o's part, it's been overlooked in the awards season, but hopefully it'll remind filmmakers of Oduye's talent going forward.

I really enjoyed Prisoners and Her, although I didn't see all the movies. Hollywood is clearly deliberately ignoring the talent of Joaquim Phoenix. Don't understand the hype over Wall Street which was way over the top, a caricature except for the performance of the federal agent, as you stated. The choices as always are primarily politically driven.
Bartleby | January 26, 2014 3:27 PM
Isn't it the case that Scarlett Johannson is ineligible for an acting award because she does not appear on screen? Isn't that why Andy Serkis was never nominated for Lord of the Rings or Rise of the Planet of the Apes? Or, perhaps reaching a bit, James Earl Jones for Darth Vader?
I know I was really frustrated a few years ago when what I would argue was the best score of the 2000s decade--There Will Be Blood--was cut out because it sampled some music.
The Academy only recently added Best Animated Feature, they need to continue to move into the 21st Century by recognizing such performances.
FP | January 18, 2014 2:10 PM
Oliver, as always, you prove out why this is my favorite place on IndieWire. An excellent and thorough accounting of the films and performances that will stay with us long past March 3rd.
FP | January 18, 2014 2:02 PM
Are we talking about the same MUD? Did this morph into a conversation about Misty Day and the swamp in AMERICAN HORROR STORY: COVEN? Because if you meant the MUD where Reese Witherspoon swans around in short shorts with nothing to do except look like a trailer trashy Helen of Troy as a grown man sends boys out to do his bidding, I think I recoil in horror at the idea that this is a better film than 12 YEARS A SLAVE, WINTER'S BONE, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, THERE WILL BE BLOOD, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, MEMENTO, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, THE INSIDER, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. The idea conveyed in MUD is, women make you do stupid sh!t. Pity that women think so highly of it.
suzaman | January 17, 2014 1:48 PM
I called the Academy about Mud it wasnt just the best picture of the year but the past 15 years
Debbie | January 17, 2014 12:03 AM
Prisoners had some great acting! And what about "Mud"??????? I loved that movie. And thought those young boys were awesome in it.
Me | January 16, 2014 1:32 AM
Joaquin Phoenix? Her was a back step for him, there were moments when i thought i was watching his Jimmy Emmett character.
Tom | January 16, 2014 1:19 AM
Upstream Color in all categories, but editing especially
buddy | January 15, 2014 9:54 PM
The title of Joaquin's documentary was 'I'm Still Here', not 'I'm Not There' which was of course the Dylan biopic.
tracy | January 15, 2014 8:14 PM
And where are the noms for the BEAUTIFULLY shot, edited, cast, written, directed acted, and soundtrack of "42" !!!!!!( Sure it's a terrible title) - but Harrison Ford deserves a best supporting nomination, Don Burgess should be a shoe in for best cinematography, and though it's been a stellar year for African American leading actors - Chadwick Boseman is incredible as Jackie Robinson! Brian Helgeland's script and direction are fabulous! ( and I HATE baseball)
I can't stand it when films that are released early in the year are COMPLETELY ignored come awards time!
keifer | January 15, 2014 8:06 PM
I'm hoping:
Toni Sorvillo will get a Best Actor nomination for "The Great Beauty".
Kristin Scott Thomas will get a Best Supporting Actress nomination for "Only God Forgives".
Joel Edgarton will get a Best Supporting Actor nomination for "The Great Gatsby".

My biggest disappointment this year has been Prisoners fading in the race for gold. It is still being discussed at our house and has been watched three times and will probably be watched again. Most of the films nominated tomorrow will get a once over and then consigned to history. Yes the film was flawed, but it proved what a great ensemble and director can do with less than spectacular material simply by conveying twisted lives dealing with unspeakable horror.
cirkusfolk | January 15, 2014 4:19 PM
You forgot Dennis Quaid for Best Actor in At Any Price.

I hope Amy Adams gets a nomination full stop because shes adorable and a masterful actress. I'd also love to see Oscar Isaac get recognized, I love that performance. Julie Delpy would be wonderful but isn't going to happen. Also ones that are not going to happen which is a travesty are Adele Exarchopoulos and Lea Seydoux who are so stunning in Blue that its almost unbelievable their lack of recognition (even at the Baftas!).
Anyway the film I'm most annoyed about not getting any love is MUD, which is such a terrific film and I just wonder if it had come out November/December would it be getting more love? McConaughey is great, the kids are great and in my perfect world Jeff Nichols would get an best director nomination along with McQueen, the Coens, Cuaron and Linklater. HER and WOLF aren't out in the UK yet...
Oscar the grouch | January 15, 2014 3:47 PM
I know I'm in the minority, especially with the staff on this site, but Her and Frances Ha are easily the two most overrated films of the year. neither is terrible but they're not worth celebrating in my opinion. I personally miss pre - wild things Jonze. I guess I'm more of a Kaufman fan.

It wouldn't be a surprise if Llewyn Davis was nominated for Best Picture.
A Serious Man was nominated, and it wasn't exactly a typical oscar bait. Neither were No Country For Old Men or True Grit and those were nominated too. The academy has started to love the Coens, and that's good. They are in a position where they can pretty much make any film they want.
Kari | January 15, 2014 2:37 PM
I hope Joaquin still gets a nom tomorrow and I think Amy Adam's performance in it is a way better than in Amercian Hustle.
Also, I am still shocked with the fact Llewyn Davis is not getting the recognition it deserves. Oscar Isaac is fenomenal in it.
Oh well...

What you probably mean is "The 22 Oscar Nominations I'D Most Like To See Tomorrow (But Probably Won't)".
Also, you don't need the word "Most" in that sentence.

NL East
The Mets got off to a fast start, struggled at times, but still manged to hold a healthy lead over the Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves. Then the Phillies beat the Mets in 8 straight meetings and the Mets stopped pitching in their other games. The bullpen, once a strength, has become the biggest problem.
After the Mets got swept by the Nationals, they had a match up with the Cardinals last night. The Mets dominated the Central Division this year and hoped to get healthy on the ailing cards. Pedro Martinez took the hill for the Mets and gave them his longest outing this season, 7 innings. But the hot Met bats suddenly went cold and Joel Pineiro shut them down for 8 innings in a 3-0 Cards win.
Meanwhile in the city of brotherly love (boy is that an oxymoron), the Phillies got home runs from Ryan Howard and Pat Burrell to beat John Smoltz and the Braves, 6-4. The Mets and Phillies go into the weekend in a flat footed tie for 1st place.
The Mets open a 3 game series with the woeful Marlins tonight. Here are the pitching match ups:
Byung Kim vs. Oliver PerezThe Mets have a clear advantage in 2 of the 3 games, so you would think the Mets would win 2 of 3 minimum. But with the current state of their bullpen, they might just be lucky to win 1 of 3.
Chris Seddon vs. John Maine
Dontrelle Willis vs. Tom Glavine
The Phillies host the pesky Washington Nationals for 3 games. The (g)Nats helped the Phillies out earlier this week with a 3 game sweep of the Mets. Here are the pitching match ups:
Tim Redding vs. Cole HammelsThe Phillies have a big advantage tonight with their ace going, but the next 2 are toss-ups. Kyle Lohse will replace Adam Eaton earlier if Eaton falters.
Matt Chico vs. Adam Eaton
Jason Bergmann vs. Jamie Moyer
We picked the Phillies to win the NL East prior to the season and even in August, we still felt we had made a stupid pick. People like Guillermo Mota are starting to make us look real smart.
NL Central
Milwaukee sprinted out early while the Cubbies were busy fighting each other. When the Brewers started to falter, the Cubs, and the Cardinals started to reel them in. While the Cards faded, as expected, the Cubs kept firing on all cylinders. Now its the Brewers doing the chasing and it doesn't look good. The Cubs lead by 2 games with just 3 to play. The Cubs got swept by the Marlins, but the Brewers couldn't cut their lead.
The Brew Crew's biggest problem. They started a 4 game series with the San Diego Padres last night. The Pads took the opener 9-5. Meanwhile the Cubs go on the road to face a bad Reds ball club, that just got worse with the loss of Adam Dunn to knee surgery.
Here are the pitching match ups for the 2 series:
Cubs vs. RedsConclusion- the Cubs should have no problem wrapping up the division title. Nice year Brewers.
Carlos Zambrano vs. Bronson Arroyo
Rich Hill vs. Aaron Harang
Ted Lilly vs. Homer Bailey
Padres vs. Brewers
Greg Maddux vs. Chris Capuano
Chris Young vs. David Bush
Brett Tomko vs. Jeff Suppan
NL West and Wild Card
We've already talked about the Padres series up above, so we'll focus on the division leading Arizona Diamondbacks. We never saw this coming. We know its a weak division, but the DBacks and their ugly new uni's? They have a 1 game lead over the Pads, thanks in part to an amazing 24-9 mark against the NL East.
Arizona goes on the road for a 3 game series with the hot Colorado Rockies. The Rockies looked like they were dead in the water, but they suddenly find themselves tied with the Mets and Phillies, 1 game behind the Padres for the Wild Card lead.
Here are the series pitching probables:
Brandon Webb vs. Jeff FrancisWhat a great pitching match for tonight's opener. After that you have to give the edge to the Dbacks- decidedly on Saturday, and just barely on Sunday.
Edgar Gonzalez vs. Mark Redman
Doug Davis vs. Ubaldo Jiminez
The DBacks should take 2 of 3, and since the Pads should do the same this weekend, we see the DBacks hanging on for the division and the Pads taking the Wild Card. Which means either the Phils or Mets, and the Rockies are SOL.

Hi, I have a tiny, 5000-line VCF file that I want to add dbSNP annotations to. I'm surprised to see VariantAnnotator iterating along the millions of records in the dbSNP file, rather than the 5000 variants in the input VCF file. This will take 42mins on dbsnp 137...
Am I misunderstanding how this tool works, or just using it wrongly?
thanks, Mark
