Feminists may want to revisit this movie. It stars Geena Davis as the best pirate in wherever the heck she is. Of course, the problem with pirate movies is that you need to build entire pirate ships or make them out of CGI. It's not like making a movie about 7-11. Those are everywhere. Just point a camera in any direction and you'll probably hit a 7-11. If I could sum up all of the critic's reaction to this movie, I'd sum them all up into one sentence. That sentence would be: "this movie is just dumb."
This movie cost ninety eight million to produce, which back in 1995 was a lot more money than we think already think it is. That being said, it only made ten million dollars. What happened? Did the profits get robbed by pirates?
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.
