| Netflix banned from competing at Cannes Film Festival Posted: 25 Mar 2018 01:43 PM PDT  Netflix has been banned from competing in the Cannes Film Festival, according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter. Theirry Fremaux, the head of Cannes, told THR last week the ban is because Netflix refuses to release its films in theaters, choosing instead to debut them on its streaming service and, in some rare cases, do day-and-date releases so the film can be seen both online and off. In the case of Bong Joon-ho's Okja and Noah Baumbach's The Meyerowitz Stories — films that were entered into last year's Cannes to widespread protest from French filmmakers — Netflix was unable to secure last-minute permits for one-week theatrical releases due to French media regulations. "Last year, when we selected these two films, I thought I... |
| The Folio Society just released a beautiful new edition of dystopian novel We Posted: 25 Mar 2018 11:16 AM PDT  Dystopian fiction has become popular in recent years, with the successes of books like Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games, and television adaptations such as Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale. High-end publisher The Folio Society's latest science fiction offering is one of the classics of the genre: a new edition of 1924's We, by Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin. It features original art by Kit Russell, and an introduction by the late Ursula K. Le Guin. The book is widely considered to be the forerunner to the entire genre, helping inform such classics as Brave New World, 1984, and many others. The novel follows an engineer named D-503 living in a nation called OneState. He's hard at work building a spaceship called the INTEGRAL, which will... |
| HBO will air its film adaptation of Fahrenheit 451 on May 19th Posted: 25 Mar 2018 10:30 AM PDT  HBO's upcoming adaptation of Ray Bradbury's classic dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451 finally has a release date: May 19th, 2018, according to Variety. The network announced the project last year, which stars Black Panther's Michael B. Jordan and The Shape of Water's Michael Shannon. Ramin Bahrani (99 Houses) directed and co-wrote the film. Bradbury published the novel in 1953, expanding several shorter works about censorship and authoritarianism. In this future, books are banned, viewed as dangerous to society for the ideas that impart. The government employs a task force of people, called Firemen, to set the books on fire when they're discovered. The novel and film follows one such fireman, Guy Montag, who begins to doubt his job and... |
| Posted: 25 Mar 2018 10:19 AM PDT  The recently revealed Facebook data "breach" that allowed Cambridge Analytica to get access to millions of users' worth of Facebook data has been greeted as a shocking scandal. Reporters and readers have been surprised to learn about the ability to gather personal data on the friends of people who install a Facebook app, the conversion of a personality quiz into a source of political data, the idea that you can target marketing messages based on individual psychographic profiles, and the surreptitious collection of data under the guise of academic research, later used for political purposes. But there is one group of people who are mostly unsurprised by these revelations: the market researchers and digital marketers who have known about... |
| A prisoner is given a deal he can’t refuse in an excerpt from S.J. Morden’s sci-fi novel One Way Posted: 25 Mar 2018 10:00 AM PDT  Science fiction as a genre has long been obsessed with the possibility of reaching Mars, for both expeditions, such as Andy Weir's novel The Martian, and colonizations, like in Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy. A new novel, One Way, by S.J. Morden, falls in the middle: we've reached Mars, but now, we need to figure out how to build a civilization. In Morden's future, that monumental task is placed upon humanity, and governments have contracted companies to begin building the colonies for eventual habitation. While machines will do part of the work, some are willing to cut corners by sending a team of prisoners to help, putting their unused skills to work. Frank Kittridge is a convicted murderer and one of the eight sent to Mars. Each... |
| Donald Glover and FX part ways with animated Deadpool TV series Posted: 25 Mar 2018 09:58 AM PDT  Donald Glover and his creative collaborator and younger brother Stephen Glover, with whom he works with on FX's Atlanta, are departing the animated Deadpool TV series alongside FX Networks, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The duo are exiting the project due to "creative differences." Announced last year, the animated Deadpool show was billed as an adult-themed action-comedy that would air on FX's FXX sister channel, which is also now the home of the network's animated hit Archer as of the latest season. FX says it plans to work with Marvel on Noah Hawley's Legion, which returns for its second season on April 3rd. We don't know if Glover's intensive schedule over the last 12 months — which has included working on his musical project... |
| Volkswagen will race this wild new EV up Pikes Peak later this year Posted: 25 Mar 2018 09:00 AM PDT  Volkswagen announced late last year that it would return to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb for the first time in 31 years. Now we know that the German automaker plans to tackle the competition with a wild, all-electric race car called the ID R Pikes Peak. In case you're unfamiliar, PPIHC is one of the more revered (and daunting) motorsports competitions in the world. Drivers start at the bottom of a 156-turn, 12.4-mile course, and race (one at a time) to the finish line at the summit some 14,000 feet above sea level. EVs aren't new to Pikes Peak — in fact, they've flourished there since showing up a few years ago, in part because they don't wind up gasping for oxygen like internal combustion engines are wont to... |
| Mark Zuckerberg apologizes for Facebook’s data privacy scandal in full-page newspaper ads Posted: 25 Mar 2018 08:46 AM PDT  Facebook on Sunday took out full-page ads in seven British newspapers and three American ones to apologize for the ongoing Cambridge Analytica data privacy scandal engulfing the social network in a legal and regulatory nightmare. The ads, which take the form of an apology penned by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, attempt to clarify the situation by reiterating that the company has already stopped third-party apps from "getting so much information," and that Facebook has started "limiting the data apps get when you sign up," an announcement the company made earlier this past week.

| Tidal adds pre-save option for upcoming albums Posted: 25 Mar 2018 08:00 AM PDT  Tidal has added a new feature that will let you automatically add albums to your library as soon as they are released. The new "pre-save" feature will allow Tidal users to add albums to their collections as soon as they are uploaded to Tidal's service ahead of the release date. Spotify has a similar feature, but it's seemingly only used in marketing campaigns by artists and labels, and you need a direct link to the album to use it. Tidal is launching the new feature alongside Deadmau5's new album, which can be pre-saved now and will be officially released next week. |
| This video is a beautiful reminder to look up at the Moon Posted: 25 Mar 2018 07:00 AM PDT  One night in February of 2017, Wylie Overstreet wheeled his telescope out in the street of a residential neighborhood in Los Angeles to observe the Moon. Within a couple of hours, more than 20 people had walked up to him to take a look. A young couple was so amazed by what they saw through the telescope — it was "one of the most incredible experiences we've had in memory," they said — that they told Overstreet he'd just made their night. "I was like, well, I had no intention," Overstreet tells The Verge. "This is crazy! If people react like this we should be doing this more often." So Overstreet, who is a filmmaker, decided to take his telescope out again and again —... |
