Imagine a scenario where Letterboxd tries to throw a festival. Everyone on Letterboxd shows up to some Landmark theatre and the only movie playing on every screen is Vice and people proceed to riot like they did in this.

I don't feel bad for anyone here except the locals, workers, and vendors who never got paid. The rest are social media dupes and con artists. Fuck 'em.

tim described fyre festival as “the stanford prison experiment for fucking morons”

The documentary was pretty basic in its approach to storytelling, and the most surprising, and compelling aspect of it was how much of the content was from the main people involved. While it is a little hard to drum up sympathy for people who have the ability to shell out thousands of dollars for a weekend festival, they were still cheated, and what the promoters of the festival did is fraud in my mind. The documentary made a good case for this and shined a light on some of the dangers of this current startup investment culture.

justice for the locals PLEASE

This is a pretty interesting look at the whole Fyre Festival, from its get-go until the infamous picture of the cheese on bread, and even a bit after the festival. If you've heard of the Fyre Festival, you know the basic story, but this one will make you feel for the locals. They were the ones who bore the brunt of this mess, and it wasn't their fault at all. Just about everyone in the documentary is in some way associated with the festival, which slightly rubs me the wrong way. I've heard the Hulu documentary "Fyre Fraud" is better in that regard, but they also paid Billy McFarland for an interview. It's good but it's nothing groundbreaking in terms of documentaries.

Watching a slow-motion train wreck. Fascinating to watch.

Feel really bad for the Bahamians, but otherwise is this absolutely incredible patter.
