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.

Ok so it’s maybe not a real murder house, but the iconic three-story Victorian house location from Jonathan Demme’s incredible “Silence of the Lambs” that served as Buffalo Bill’s home is up for sale right now. Located in 8 Circle Street in Perryopolis, Pennsylvania, this four-bedroom home is currently listed for $298,500.You can even tour the property virtually in this video from The Sisters Sold It.We were super disappointed to learn there is no well in the unfinished basement.

This just in- Cineworld owned and operated Regal Cinemas chain have made the public statement that they will be shuttering and halting ALL business by the end of the day on Wednesday, October 8th 2020.

Leslie Morgenstein, Elysa Dutton, and Carpenter are producing for book-to-screen…

It’s been awhile since we’ve heard anything about the live-action feature film adaptation of popular video game, “Monster Hunter,” starring Milla Jovovoich. We didn’t FORGET it was happening, it just sort of…..slipped our minds for a bit. That said- this teaser strangely echos “Dune,” with giant creatures rising from the desert sand. Behind our world, there is another: a world of dangerous and powerful monsters that rule their domain with deadly ferocity. When an unexpected sandstorm transports Lt. Artemis (Jovovich) and her unit (TI Harris, Meagan Good, Diego Boneta) to a new world, the soldiers are shocked to discover that…

We knew it was only a matter of time before MGM opted to further delay the upcoming 25th installment in the James Bond 007 franchise, “No Time To Die.” This comes not a moment too soon, as it was scheduled to open on November 20th (it’s what, third date?). MGM and Universal Studios collectively released this statement about the delay: “MGM, Universal and Bond producers, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, today announced the release of No Time To Die, the 25th film in the James Bond series, will be delayed until 2 April in order to be seen by a worldwide theatrical audience.  We understand the delay will be disappointing to…

If there was ever a movie set we could sneak onto right now (you know, since Dune is done and all)- we WISH we could be with the original trio of stars from “Jurassic Park.” Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum, and Laura Dern are all returning as their iconic characters for the upcoming “Jurassic World: Dominion” film.In a new Instagram post from Goldblum, we see him reenacting an iconic scene from “Jurassic Park,” where Dr. Ian Malcolm explains his chaos theory to Dr. Ellie Sattler and Dr. Alan Grant. But this time….he uses Neill’s hand rather than Dern’s. The BEST PART…

Just in case we had forgotten for five minutes that 2020 sucks- we were SUPPOSED to be getting a sequel to the Alicia Vikander-starring “Tomb Raider” reboot film next year. It was supposed to be filming right now, and we’re upset. True, out of ALL THE THINGS we were supposed to have this year, this isn’t even in the top ten, but it still sucks. Vikander recently appeared on Good Morning America, and offered an optimistic update on the status of the Ben Wheatley-directed return of Lady Lara Croft flick. “The plan was for us to start making one this…
