If you’re anything like us, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days might have you fighting the urge to buy so many products. But unlike this (on sale for a paltry $30), you actually need . In honor of Prime Big Deal Days, the brand is knocking 55% off the regular price of $80 for the two-day sale event on October 8 and 9, and while you don’t need an excuse to treat yourself to a new handheld vacuum, it doesn’t hurt.

Some handheld vacuums feel just as bulky as their upright cousins — not the eufy! This vacuum is 1.2 pounds. For comparison’s sake, a 2-month-old kitten is approximately 2 pounds. This vacuum is lighter than a friggin’ kitten. It’s also about the size of a wine bottle, which means you can carry in it a tote bag when your addiction to cleaning starts to kick in and you go on a rampage, cleaning up spilled cereal and litter in the homes of your (slightly concerned and potentially planning and intervention) friends.

It comes with a 2-1 suction tool that’ll let you get into those small crevices where random particles of dirt mingle in the couch cushions. If you remove the top of the tool, you’re left with a delicate brush that’ll help grab dust mites out of your laptop keys. That’s right, you can clean your poor, neglected keyboard with this thing! The space under your spacebar is about to be so happy. It’s crazy that a vacuum with so much power — 5500Pa of suction, to be exact — can also be used on a keyboard.

Between this sale and the one happening on the viral Tineco Floor ONE S5 Vacuum, your house is about to be as clean as the day you moved in. If you add both to your cart, you’re saving $150 for Prime Day. What we’re saying is that maybe you do need that .

The best sci-fi shows streaming right now

From Lost to The Twilight Zone, these are the best sci-fi shows ever made

The cast of Lost.

Sci-fi television has been around since the earliest days of the medium, and it's evolved along with the rest of television. In every era, though, there have been great sci-fi shows that remind us of how well the genre can fit on television.

Great science fiction can reflect on the world we know, even as it expands our understanding of what's possible. Regardless of exactly what these shows are about, though, each of them tells their story in gripping fashion, taking full advantage of what TV is capable of.

‘The Brutalist’ director Brady Corbet says he’s made no money promoting the film

The director said that he makes more directing commercials than he does making movies.

It can be wonderful to get nominated for a bunch of awards, but The Brutalist director Brady Corbet said that it's not exactly a profitable one. In an interview on WTF with Marc Maron, Corbet said that he hadn't actually made any money promoting the movie.

“This is the first time I’ve made any money in years,” Corbet said, saying that his first real paycheck in a long time came from directing three advertisements in Portugal. “Both my partner and I made zero dollars on the last two films we made. Yes, actually zero. So we had to just live off of a paycheck from three years ago and obviously, the timing during an awards campaign and travel every two or three days was less than ideal, but it was an opportunity that landed in my lap, and I jumped at it.”

John Malkovich said that he rejected Marvel movies prior to ‘Fantastic Four’ over low pay

He explained that Marvel movies took a lot of time, and he wanted to be paid accordingly.

Over the course of its 15 years of existence, Marvel has lured a number of surprising actors into its orbit. We live in a world where Angelina Jolie and Harry Styles have both appeared in Marvel projects (actually the same one).

John Malkovich was one of the last Marvel holdouts, but that's changing with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. In an interview with GQ, Malkovich explained that he had been approached to do Marvel projects in the past, but had always turned them down.
“The reason I didn’t do them had nothing to do with any artistic considerations whatsoever,” Malkovich explained. “I didn’t like the deals they made, at all.”
He explained that he simply wanted more money to work through the conditions required to make a movie on this scale.
“These films are quite grueling to make…. If you’re going to hang from a crane in front of a green screen for six months, pay me. You don’t want to pay me, it’s cool, but then I don’t want to do it, because I’d rather be onstage, or be directing a play, or doing something else," he continued.
Malkovich is, perhaps unsurprisingly, playing villain Ivan Kragoff, also known as Red Ghost in the film. He explained that working on the movie was actually like stage work in some respects. "It’s not that dissimilar to doing theater,” he said, “You imagine a bunch of stuff that isn’t there and do your little play.”
