Here's the sad thing about this movie. I worked at a movie theater when this movie came out and I barely recall its existence. That was at a time when I would watch every single movie that came out. I guess the idea of Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie in a period drama doesn't exactly excite the sense. I know it doesn't for me. Considering this is a period piece from a period that we don't even have pictures from, you know it costs A LOT of money.
Even though this movie has some big, box-office drawing stars in it, it still lost 92 million dollars. Maybe if they didn't cast such big stars. They might have spent 92 million on Colin Farrell and Angelina Jolie's rate alone. It made a decent amount of money domestically, but it just simply cost too much.
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.
