Even the greatest directors can't save a movie from bombing. You'd think they knew the secret to success, but not every director wins every time. Like what if I told you that the director of arguably the greatest movie ever, 'The Godfather,' had a flop? Don't trip out too hard because it's true. Francis Ford Coppola directed 'The Cotton Club' which had an estimated loss of seventy six million dollars.
The movie was actually pretty highly regarded by critics, but the big problem was that the movie took five years to make. That's simply insane considering most movies take anywhere between 20 and 120 days to shoot. Most movies want to stop shooting as quickly as possible to avoid paying the crew for an extended period of time. Five years worth of overtime sounds like it would put any movie over budget.
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.
