When Global Road failed - which you'll remember left 'City of Lies' dangling in the air as an unreleased film - it was the result of death by a thousand cuts. They'd just released too many movies that failed to make the grade expected of them at the box office. You can add 'Hotel Artemis' to that number, which wasn't an abysmal performer, but didn't deliver the kind of performance required to prop up the ailing studio.
The film wasn't truly good or bad - it just seemed confused in its approach to storytelling, and featured a mismatched cast of Jodie Foster and former WWE wrestler Dave Bautista, who's more suited to the kind of action roles we've seen him take on in the 'Avengers' series. This was a hotel that not enough people wanted to book themselves into.
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.
