The Directors of ‘Project Hail Mary’ Explain Why the Movie Is a PC, Not a Mac

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-17 18:30:55

Making movies is all about compromises. This actor is unavailable, so you cast someone else. That location is too expensive, so let’s build a set. This shot is impossible, so let’s think of something better. At every step, the big, huge mechanism of filmmaking is always a work in progress. But on Project Hail Mary, directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord tried to embrace a new philosophy. “What’s great about this movie is there are so many things that make it harder to make,” Miller said in Hall H

The First ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ Trailer Is a Huge Level Up for Pandora

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-02-18 20:09:15

Give James Cameron three years to tinker with the same world, and everything is going to get bigger and better. That’s the main takeaway in this first trailer for Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third film in Cameron’s mega-blockbuster sci-fi series. Everything in this trailer takes what we expect from Avatar and brings it up a notch. The action is bigger. The sets are more elaborate. The characters are more emotional. And, if we’ve come to learn anything from Cameron and this franchise, it’s sure to

It looks as though Robert F. Kennedy Jr. isn’t quite done tearing apart the country’s public health system. The antivaccination supporter turned health secretary is reportedly planning to retire the current roster of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on Kennedy’s plan last Friday.

Starlink is nearly twice as fast as it was two years ago, according to a recent report from the speed test site Ookla. (Disclosure: Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.)

How the Federal Reserve Actually Affects Mortgage Rates

The Fed's interest rate decisions impact mortgages, but the relationship isn't straightforward. Tharon Green/CNET If you tracked the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions last year, you might have been puzzled: The Fed's three interest rate cuts didn't bring about lower mortgage rates. In fact, the average rate for a 30-year fixed home loan has hovered around 6.8% for the past several months. The Fed's interest rate decisions don't have a direct or immediate effect on home loan rates. Of
