Right now I could download an app, take a video, and put multiple explosions in it with the click of my finger. It's that easy with computer. Back in the 70s it wasn't so easy. If you wanted an explosion, you had to explode things. That's just how it went. There was no safety behind computer code. These were real camera men pointing expensive cameras at real explosions. Star Wars is a movie with a lot of explosions, so it could not have been easy or safe to shoot.

I worked on a movie that used explosives to explode some toilets and it took about six hours to get the shot. It took so long because there were so many precautions that had to be taken. I can tell you one thing, they didn't let the camera anywhere near as close as Star Wars did.

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.
