    Some JERK Attacked Rick Moranis in New York City Yesterday

    We are absolutely shocked to be reporting this news, friends. Someone, some absolute idiot jerk, attacked actor Rick Moranis in New York City yesterday. Reports are still scant on information, but as far as we can glean-

    The 67-year old Canadian actor was reportedly “punched in the face,” by an unknown suspect.

    He did check into a hospital, reporting of “pain to his head, side, and hip.” He did file a police report.

    Thanks to The Hollywood Reporter for alerting us.

    Get well, Rick.

    UPDATE

    TMZ just posted security cam footage showing the attack.

    They also report there is currently a $2,500 reward for any information on the attacker.

    UPDATE 2

    We completely agree with Chris Evans, as usual.

    My blood is boiling. Find this man. You don’t touch Rick Moranis. https://t.co/VXBbTjdDwa

She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
