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.

One of the things we are the most excited about with “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” ultimate director’s cut releasing is an all-new score from Tom Holkenborg, aka Junkie XL. The composer behind such film scores as “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “Alita: Battle Angel,” and “Tomb Raider,” Junkie XL never disapoints. Warner Bros. Pictures music division WaterTower Music released a track from the soundtrack for the upcoming HBO Max release, and it’s pretty great: “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” will hit HBO Max on March 18th, 2021.

After watching this morning’s “Cruella” trailer a few times, we finally realized what it is the Disney live-action film reminds us of. Such strong Vivienne Westwood vibes for Emma Stone as the titular fashionista character. But adding in some Harley Quinn too? Kind of a brilliant move. So, let’s dive into the delicious punk fashion of it all. A young, ruby haired Cruella comes to London to study fashion. This hair color and hat are VERY Westwood.
