If there’s one thing you can rely on in this world – it’s sleep (unless you have a severe case of insomnia).

What is not always reliable when it comes to sleeping – is a good night of sleep. We spend a third of our lives doing it – so why not make the best of it?

First, let us introduce you to Casper.

It’s not a ghost, but it will make a crappy nights sleep a thing of the past. Mattresses make all the difference – so what’s so different about

Casper? Well, Casper is an American made mattress sold – wait for it – directly to customers online.

Yep, eliminating the middle-man, inflated prices, and absolutely worst of all, a dreaded shopping trip. Think Warby Parker.

Casper mattresses come in six standard US sizes – Twin, Twin XL, Full Size, Queen Size, King Size, and California King.

The mattress is developed in-house by engineers and the surface of the bed is made from a critically acclaimed premium latex foam which contours to

your body for maximum comfort, continues to stay cool during those warm summer nights, and has just the right amount of bounce.

Your new best friend gets shipped to you in a box using a patented compression machine. And what if you don’t like your mattress? You have 100 days to test it out. If you don’t like it – the company will offer a full refund.

Welcome to the future my friends.

And while you’re at it – make sure to cover your new bed in Brooklinen. Start out with the Classic Core Set. Designed in Brooklyn (get it?)

These sheets are soft, cool and crisp. It’s like sleeping on the cool side of the pillow every. single. night. Made from a single ply with 60 count yarns and over 270 thread count. The classic collection is the perfect start to a new life of good sleep.

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.”
