39. A Sound of Thunder

I distinctly remember seeing this movie in theaters. I may have even seen it twice (this was when I was working at the theater so it was very easy to see movies, especially while working). The thing I most remember about this movie is that it states "based on a short story." You already lost me there, movie. Based on a short story? What's next "this movie is based on a sentence."

The movie is about the butterfly effects of literally killing a butterfly while visiting the past. That simple action has an enormous effect on the modern world. Waves of "evolution" start affecting society, bringing horrible prehistoric creatures back into existence. The worst thing about this movie is the special effects. It looks like something made for TV. Maybe those kinds of effects would look good in 'Krull,' but not in 2004.

Did You Know...

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.
