James Cameron Will Keep Making ‘Avatar’ Movies Whether You Want Him to or Not

gizmodo.com Sabina Graves 2025-12-03 03:45:41

Nothing is slowing down the Avatar franchise, not even James Cameron’s other cinematic projects. While there has been recent momentum on films beyond the upcoming Avatar: Fire and Ash—he’s currently developing two features, The Ghosts of Hiroshima and The Devils—make no mistake: he’s still all in with Pandora. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Cameron talked about why he is so committed to the world of Avatar and it’s not (just) because the films make the big bucks every time one is rel

Add the Tesla Diner to the List of Elon Musk Projects That Fail to Deliver on Promises

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-12-03 03:55:31

You are not going to believe this, because there is absolutely zero precedent for it happening; it appears Elon Musk has overpromised on something. It has only been two weeks since the Tesla Diner, a charging station and restaurant with a retro-futuristic aesthetic, and it is already significantly narrowing down its menu offerings, according to a report from Eater. In classic diner fashion, the restaurant offered a robust menu when it first opened, but it is down to just five sandwiches, two si

Weapons is a film filled with huge secrets and reveals. Secrets and reveals that were very carefully talked around and avoided in the marketing. But now that the film is in theaters, we can talk about them, and in terms of arguably the biggest reveal, writer-director Zack Cregger spoke to us about the different ways he approached it. We’re about to dive into some of Weapons’ biggest spoilers, so if you haven’t seen it yet, be aware. One of Weapons’ biggest reveals comes right at the beginning.

The HORI Piranha Plant camera for the Nintendo Switch 2 is on sale for just $40, which is a discount of $20 and a record-low price. This is a great deal for those who own a Switch 2 and want to take advantage of the camera functionality in games like Mario Kart World and that recently-released campfire sim. This was designed specifically for Nintendo's new console, so it's a plug-and-play affair. It's actually cheaper than the official Switch 2 camera with this sale and it looks a whole lot coo

Apple's Favoritism to Fastmail

Congrats to @Fastmail , the only provider @Apple allows to send push notifications to the iOS Mail app. No announcement. No documentation. No access for anyone else. Just quiet favoritism. We genuinely like @Fastmail . We’re happy for them. But @Apple has chosen a winner in private, giving one provider a major advantage and refusing the same to everyone else.

Secretive, Peter Thiel-Founded ‘Tech Bilderberg” Group Is Moving Up in the World

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-12-04 12:30:57

A secretive group founded by Palantir mogul Peter Thiel is planning to expand its influence in Washington, D.C., according to a report from Axios. The group, called Dialog, wants to establish a permanent physical campus in the capital, where it can carry on its invite-only meetings involving major power players. Working off information provided by a source with knowledge of the group’s activities, Axios claims that Dialog—which it says is “often compared to a tech-era Bilderberg”—has plans for

The End of Bullshit AI

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-12-05 08:50:47

In every conversation about AI, you hear the same refrains: “Yeah, but it’s amazing,” quickly followed by, “but it makes stuff up,” and “you can’t really trust it.” Even among the most dedicated AI enthusiasts, these complaints are legion. During my recent trip to Greece, a friend who uses ChatGPT to help her draft public contracts put it perfectly. “I like it, but it never says ‘I don’t know.’ It just makes you think it knows,” she told me. I asked her if the problem might be her prompts. “No,

Zach Cregger’s first major film Barbarian was tense and frightening, but it was also infused with a healthy dose of absurdity. The movie’s twisted sense of humor made it easier to stomach its grotesque violence and a bit more difficult to anticipate how its unhinged story would unfold.

Mafia: The Old Country, from developer Hangar 13, is the fourth entry in the Mafia franchise, which started in 2002. The open-world game series, mainly focusing on the Italian mafia's organized criminal activities in fictional US cities, came out less than a year after Grand Theft Auto III, which firmly established the open-world style of gaming.

Jeff Buckley died young but is immortalized in a new documentary

Jeff Buckley captivated an audience of generations with his transcendent voice and soaring guitar. After his untimely passing in 1997 at age 30, he gained posthumous, cult-like status. Never one for the charts, his album Grace has stood the test of time and is listed on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. His live performances were famous for transforming any space, regardless of size, into an intimate listening experience. And his unfinished demos are something fans have collected

‘Freakier Friday’ Barely Scrapes By on Its Nostalgic Charms

Freaky Friday is back after over two decades since we last saw Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan swap bodies thanks to a suitably freaky family curse. However, Disney’s new follow-up, in theaters this week, leaning heavily on the charms of a stellar ensemble, is a sequel constantly threatening to fall apart under the weight of uneven execution. In Freaky Friday, it was just mother Tess Coleman (Curtis) and her daughter Anna (Lohan) who swapped bodies, a kooky way for mother and child to better

‘Gags the Clown’ Leans Into an Urban Legend That Maybe Wasn’t a Legend

It’s been nearly a decade since an outbreak of clown sightings frightened people, first in the U.S. and then later across the globe. A clown in the right context isn’t necessarily scary, but a random clown just appearing with no obvious purpose is horror movie material. And, in fact, some of the creepy clown epidemic of 2016 can be traced back to Gags the Clown, a found-footage indie that turned some clever grassroots marketing into a stunt that went viral.
