Welcome to the Technocracy: Dreams of forgotten movement from the 1930s live on

news.ycombinator.com Anton Cebalo 2025-10-23 07:49:15

Between 1921 and 1932, a strange man became a familiar face in Greenwich Village, New York City. Howard Scott lectured all who would listen on his vision for an anti-democratic state led by technicians and engineers. Businesspeople and politicians would be replaced, and a new society of abundance would be possible through science. He spread a gospel that preached “technology was the revolutionary agent of our period.” Scott believed liberal capitalism would eventually collapse and give way to a

‘Call of Duty’ May Enlist for a Movie Adaptation

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-10-24 08:30:12

Activision Blizzard and Microsoft’s Call of Duty franchise could take its blockbuster success to the big screen. According to Puck’s Matt Belloni, Paramount is currently negotiating for film rights to the long-running shooter series. Getting this IP is said to be a “tough priority” for new Paramount head David Ellison, since it’d be another major gaming property in the studio’s portfolio after Sonic the Hedgehog.

‘The Goonies 2’ Is Sailing Closer to Reality

Goonies never say die, and apparently, neither do sequels. Earlier this year, news broke that after decades of back-and-forth about a follow-up to the fan-favorite 1985 film, The Goonies, Warner Bros. had hired a writer to pen a script. Now, the writer has provided an update that makes it seem like the sequel is getting closer to actually happening.

How Marvel’s Huge Budget for ‘Eternals’ Actually Worked Against It

Chloé Zhao is currently promoting her follow-up to Marvel Studios’ Eternals, an adaptation of Maggie O’Farrell’s novel Hamnet. The 2020 book is based on William Shakespeare and his wife as they grieve the loss of one of their children, which would go on to inspire Hamlet. It makes sense that after making a movie where the Academy Award-winning director’s voice felt pulled in many directions, a more intimate movie would be her next choice.

The ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Success Story Could Be a Turning Point for Cinema

This weekend, movie history was made. For the first time ever, Netflix had the number one movie at the box office with its megahit KPop Demon Hunters. However, while every single other film distributor would’ve celebrated this fact, the streamer didn’t report the numbers. Instead, it put the version of the film in theaters immediately onto its streamer. The message was clear. This wasn’t meant to be a huge money grab or play for theatrical dominance.

Sword of the Sea is a spirited celebration of movement and the sea

There’s a persistent belief that in order for sharks to breathe underwater, they must keep on swimming. While this is partly true for a few species, the myth likely stems from how certain types of fishes (bony fish, if you want to know) need to breathe through constant motion, inhaling and pushing a huge amount of water through their gills as they swim. As the misconception goes, for sharks, much like their aquatic peers, to cease movement is to spell certain death — which is exactly how it feel

Rewatching Steven Spielberg’s 2001 film AI: Artificial Intelligence, it feels as plausible as ever, but also more misguided. In 2001, AI was barely a thought in everyday life. It was the thing that destroyed the world in Terminator, and still a lofty goal in tech circles.
