AMC Theaters records it’s highest May attendance in 7 years (since 2019)! Much of the surge in box revenue is due to younger audiences discovering the theatrical experience & the rise of independent films.

A Harvard doctor locked 3 obese men in a hospital and fed them nothing for 40 days.
Their brains worked better than ever.
Dr. George Cahill. Harvard Medical School. Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. 1967. He had a question medicine considered settled.
What if the brain doesn't actually need glucose?
Medical orthodoxy was certain. The brain consumes 120 grams of glucose a day. Without food, brain function would collapse. The men should have lost their minds in two weeks.
Day 7. Mental fog. Hunger. Irritability.
Day 14. Symptoms fade. Hunger gone. Energy returns.
Day 21. Day 28. Day 40. Sharper than before they started.
Cahill measured their blood. The brain wasn't running on glucose anymore. It was running on ketones. A fuel produced from body fat.
The brain switched fuels. Without missing a beat.
The men shed tens of pounds. Mental clarity sharpened. Insulin plummeted. Ketones fueled them. Cahill published the results in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Then medicine quietly buried them.
They told you the brain runs on sugar. Harvard proved 59 years ago that it doesn't.
No sugar. No grains.
We share the stories they don't want you to hear. Follow @VinnieTortorich.

Quentin Tarantino fires back at "Pulp Fiction" star Rosanna Arquette after she criticized his use of the N-word in movies as "racist and creepy."
"Dear Rosanna,
I hope the publicity you’re getting from 132 different media outlets writing your name and printing your picture was worth disrespecting me and a film I remember quite clearly you were thrilled to be a part of?
Do you feel this way now?
Very possibly.
But after I gave you a job, and you took the money, to trash it for what I suspect is verycynical reasons, shows a decided lack of class, no less honor.
There is supposed to be an esprit de corps between artistic colleagues.
But it would appear the objective was accomplished.
Congratulations
Q"
