We didn’t know we needed this video, but we absolutely did. Someone decided to replace Oscar-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides with Elmo. Specifically, the moment when Paul attempts the Gom Jabbar.
Elmo holds his own, going toe to toe with Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam (Charlotte Rampling) in this scene from “Dune.”
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. 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.
