gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-09-23 22:15:34

Mix two internet touchstones together and what do you get? We’re going to find out. LimeWire, the peer-to-peer file-sharing network, announced that it won the rights to the Fyre Festival brand in an auction. The company indicated it has no plans to use the branding for a music festival, but rather bought up the name and likeness mostly for the memes. LimeWire said in a press release that it plans to “unveil a reimagined vision for Fyre — one that expands beyond the digital realm and taps into r

theverge.com Andrew Webster 2025-10-09 12:30:00

The Toronto International Film Festival is almost like a preview of the movie slate for the next few months — and this year I’m watching as much as possible to give you all the scoop on what’s ahead. To do that, I’ll be writing a dispatch covering every movie I’ve seen that day, which will run daily throughout most of the festival. That includes bigger movies you probably already know about, like Netflix’s Wake Up Dead Man and Frankenstein, along with hopefully some great new films you maybe wer

How Burning Man VR rebuilt after Microsoft shut it down

theverge.com Janko Roettgers 2025-11-05 03:30:00

It was all just supposed to be a one-time thing. When Burning Man got canceled because of covid-19 in 2020, a number of attendees banded together to re-create the festival on the social VR platform Altspace. That virtual Burning Man experience not only attracted around 13,000 visitors, but also accolades from the Producers Guild of America. The success led to the decision to keep the digital version of Burning Man going even when the real-life festival returned in 2021. BRCvr, named after the f

I Saw the Future of AI Film and It Was Empty

wired.com John Semley 2025-11-07 22:30:00

Last year, filmmaker Paul Schrader—the director of Blue Collar, American Gigolo, and First Reformed, and writer of Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver—issued what seemed like the last word on artificial intelligence in Hollywood filmmaking. A few days after the release of Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi blockbuster Dune: Part Two, Schrader asked his Facebook followers: “Will Dune 3 be made by AI? And, if it is, how will we know?” Schrader is well regarded not only as a director, but one of cinema’s top-she

21 Best Festival Accessories and Gear (2025): The Essentials and the Fun Stuff

wired.com Louryn Strampe 2025-11-29 11:02:00

On Harm Reduction Photograph: The Bunk Police Regardless of your personal habits, drug use can be prevalent at festivals. It's important to know the location of medical tents, to pay attention to your surroundings, and to look out for your fellow festival attendees the way you'd want them to look out for you. I highly recommend getting trained in administering naloxone (Narcan). It prevents opioid overdose, and it's easy to obtain training and the medicine itself for cheap. I took mine throug

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2026-01-16 11:50:02

Seems a little steep, but sure. Fyre Festival, the doomed-from-the-start music festival that never was, is one of the most notorious failures of the internet era. And now it can be yours!

Unfortunately for McFarland, his plan to monetize the Fyre Festival name is b

The festival was hosted by Runway, a company that produces models and tools for generating images and videos. In panels and press briefings, a curated list of industry professionals made the case for Hollywood to embrace AI tools.
