Just one day from the official Prime Day and we’re seeing some really tempting Prime Day deals that can extend to every part of our lives — work, entertainment, home — including the bedroom. We’re seeing a flood of Prime Day mattress sales with everything from food processors to pressure cookers going on sale. Right now, you can

save 10%

on an Original Casper Pillow that’s both comfy and supportive. It’s down to $59, from its regular piece of $65. That’s a deal we could really curl up with.

In 2014, Casper upended the entire mattress and bedding world with its direct-to-consumer foam mattress, delivered (all rolled up into an unimaginably compact cylinder) right to your door; no fuss no muss. The brand has followed that model with its pillows, offering you, “A great sleep, simplified” as the company likes to put it.

With the Casper Original Pillow, what you really get are two pillows in one. Casper’s design wizards innovated a pillow that begins with a supportive smaller pillow — the kind that’s perfect for sitting up and reading in bed, or ideal if you like a stiffer pillow on which to sleep (it’s good for building forts, too) — and then placed it inside an outer pillow that is softer and fluffier. What you get in this sensuous shell game is the benefit of both kinds of pillow in one thoughtfully designed, elegant looking, simple pillow.

Casper’s Original Pillow design also features a 2-inch gusset along the side. What’s a gusset you ask? Think of a Chelsea boot. That expandable, elastic patch on the ankle of the boot that allows pliability, roominess and more action — that’s a gusset. And it acts the same on Casper’s Original Pillow, giving your neck better alignment options and letting the down-alternative filled inside of the pillow be more evenly distributed. It’s like a desk organizer for your pillow’s contents.

And those contents, the down-alternative fiber cluster, is maybe the single most important factor in the pillow’s quality. At Casper, they road-tested (or sleep-tested) pillow after pillow until they found a filler material that surpassed all other. Some will swear that you cannot beat real down, but Casper thinks it has surpassed that principle with its technologically advanced down-alternative fiber cluster, which is individually blown into the cover. What this does is prevent your pillow from clumping up, which means less fluffing, and more sleeping, for you.

This pillow’s cover is also 100% cotton, which is absolutely essential to having a good night’s sleep. The key here is its construction in a breathable percale weave. This kind of weave allows more air to breathe through the material, which will result in you keeping cooler and having a better rest.

Attractive and comfy, Casper’s Original Pillow is, not to put too fine a point on it, the pillow of your dreams. In anticipation of Prime Day,  you can

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.”
