So i just saw a preview for Frequently Asked Questions about Time Travel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBV340x3GcA

and it looks pretty interesting. It doesn't hurt that it stars one of my favorite actresses, Anna Farris. (go see house bunny). But yeah, the description of doctor who meets shaun of the dead makes me think its gonna be awesome, but it'll probably be a let down. hohum.

Anywho, it got me thinking about time travel, and how ridiculously kick ass it is in fiction.

whether its to go back in time to bone your mum and rock out

travel back in time to prevent robot apocalypse

travel back in time to stop a demon army

or travel back in time to graduate high school

one thing you know is gonna happen when you time travel is you're going to have a kickass time. There's also a lot of interesting ideas to bounce around, like predestination and fate and paradoxes, and dude, if you touch a past version of yourself, will the world really end? so lets discuss.

Also, more recent movies like primer and time crimes have really brought up some interesting ideas about time travel, so its gonna be interesting to see whats coming down the pipeline, and this FAQ about Time Travel looks like an interesting premise, at least
