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.

The report from this morning indicates that Angela Robinson (“True Blood,” “Professor Marston and the…

Paramount Pictures is moving ahead with another entry into their modern “Pet Semetary” installment, announcing a follow up film is on the way with director Lindsey Beer at the helm. This is exciting for a number of reasons, number one being that the original 1989 film based on the Stephen King story was helmed by Mary Lambert. The other more annoying modern reason being that really poorly thought out comment from Jason Blum from a few years ago: “There are not a lot of female directors period, and even less who are inclined to do horror.” (Yes, really.) That idiotic…

Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since the very first “Fast & Furious” film hit theaters. The franchise immediately struck a chord with both the culture of young street car racers, and those who craved a slightly outrageous action series.

A new featurette was released this morning, celebrating “The Originals” who launched the series back on June 22nd, 2001, some of whom have stayed all the way to “Fast 9.” Here’s what Universal had…
