I had a conversation last year with director Drew Pearce, whose credits include the Jodie Foster-led thriller Hotel Artemis, in which he lamented at one point the “seismic change” the film industry is going through. Nowadays, he mused, studios seem to basically make either $5 million movies or $200 million movies — artsy fare to win awards on the lower end of the budget spectrum, and spectacle-driven big-budget epics at the high end.

That dichotomy has produced a strange kind of debate in recent days. Specifically, a debate over the artistic validity of movies from Marvel Studios, the implication being that they don’t deserve to stand alongside artsier creations and with even legendary director Martin Scorsese slamming Marvel films as “not cinema.” Stars like Robert Downey Jr., in turn, have weighed in by pushing back against the notion that these film lack artistic and creative seriousness and don’t deserve to be regarded in the same company as more traditional movie fare.

Just hours after Sony announced the final name and release window for the PlayStation 5, LetsGoDigital unearthed a patent filing for what might be the next PlayStation VR headset. You may remember LetsGoDigital as the site that first publicized the PS5 dev kit patent, which, based on Wired’s recent report, is an accurate representation of the device that developers are receiving. As for this patent, it was just made public this week.

Images in the filing show a familiar-looking head-mounted display, but with a few key changes. For one, there are four cameras in all — two on the front of the HMD, one on the back, and one on the PlayStation Move controller. There will be LEDs installed on the headset to track movement as well, and a built-in microphone.

We’re still several years away from seeing NASA send humans back to the Moon, but when you’re planning for a mission as intense as that, preparation takes a long, long time. One of the many things NASA is currently working on is the finalization of its next-generation spacesuit which space travelers will wear during their lunar excursions.

In a new update, NASA talks at length about the work being done to ensure the Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit (or xEMU for short) is up to the task of keeping astronauts safe as they’re exploring the surface of the Moon.

Over the past few years, whenever a friend would ask me for advice about buying a new MacBook, I’d tell them that it was probably worth waiting a bit. It wasn’t that Apple’s MacBook lineup wasn’t compelling, but rather that the butterfly keyboard design Apple first introduced on its 2016 MacBook Pro was prone to causing all sorts of typing nightmares.

Over the past few years, Apple implemented a few changes which did manage to improve the overall reliability of the butterfly keyboard design. Still, even the third iteration of the design caused problems for a number of users. And hardly a point of speculation, Apple itself conceded this point earlier this year via a rare apology.

The worst thing about AirPods and most of their rivals is that the more you use them, the faster they die. That’s because they pack tiny batteries with limited overall life expectancy. If you bought your AirPods more than two years ago and you’ve used them regularly ever since, the chances are that you’ve started noticing increasingly poor battery life. Believe it or not, the batteries can’t be swapped out so you’ll actually need to go to Apple and replace your AirPods if you want better battery life. The good news is that there are two words you need to remember to make it all more affordable.

If you have a natural aversion to spiders, you might want to steer clear of the San Francisco Bay Area for at least the next few days. Reports indicate that tarantula activity has spiked in parts of California, including the Bay Area, with the increase in big spider sightings is being blamed on warm fall weather.

Warm fall days are common across much of the state, and the shift in seasons prompts male tarantulas to search for mates. For residents, that means seeing the huge eight-legged creatures far more frequently, but scientists insist that there’s really nothing to worry about.
