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.

Going from “Mad Max” to “Babe,” to “Witches of Eastwick” to “Happy Feet,” and back again to “Mad Mad: Fury Road,” all of which are awesome. This brings us to today’s press conference, officially confirming the start of “Furiosa” filming in New South Wales, Australia. This “Fury Road” spinoff is a prequel, telling the story of Imperator Furiosa, who will be played by Anya Taylor-Joy. Charlize Theron originally…

We need to first address that a statement posted on Morrissey’s official Facebook page is being touted as the singer’s direct quote. A follow up post on the same page corrects this, while also calling out various outlets for not doing due diligence to source the quote.
