I think we all knew the fate of this movie once we heard the casting. Now, Nicolas Cage is a great actor, with his own very unique take on roles, but as a comic book hero... no thanks. He's way too eggy to be a gritty, motorcycle-riding hero like Ghost Rider. Or any hero for that matter. Most of the time you can't tell if he's acting or pulling some elaborate prank on the entire production crew. Have you seen 'Wicker Man?!'
Here's a fact that might put this whole movie into perspective. Nicolas Cage is a huge Superman fan, so I'm sure he only took this role as a consolation prize after he realized he was never going to play Superman. Unfortunately that ship has sailed. Maybe he could play Superman's father now, but come on. Go big or go home.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
