Whether depicting humans battling aliens or a brave geologist saving lives as a volcano erupts, science-fiction films are an exciting visual and sensuous introduction to the workings of science and technology. These films explore a range of complex topics in vivid and accessible ways, from space travel and laser technology to genetic engineering, global warming, and the consequences of nuclear weaponry. Though actual scientific lab work might not be as exciting, science fiction is an engaging yet powerful way for a wide audience to explore some of the most pressing issues and ideas of our time. In this book, a scientist and dedicated film enthusiast discusses the portrayal of science in more than one hundred films, including science fiction, scientific biographies, and documentaries. Beginning with early films like Voyage to the Moon and Metropolis and concluding with more recent offerings like The Matrix, War of the Worlds, A Beautiful Mind, and An Inconvenient Truth, Sidney Perkowitz questions how much faith we can put into Hollywood's depiction of scientists and their work; how accurately these films capture scientific fact and theory; whether cataclysms like our collision with a comet can actually happen; and to what extent these films influence public opinion about science and the future. Movies, especially science-fiction films, temporarily remove viewers from the world as they know it and show them the world as it might be, providing special perspective on human nature and society. Yet "Hollywood science" can be erroneous, distorting fact for dramatic effect and stereotyping scientists as remote and nerdy, evil, or noble, doing little to improve the relationship between science and society. Bringing together history, scientific theory, and humorous observation, Hollywood Science features dozens of film stills and a list of the all-time best and worst science-fiction movies. Just as this genre appeals to all types of viewers, this book will resonate with anyone who has been inspired by science-fiction films and would like to learn how fantasy compares to fact.Binding Type: Paperback

So so small! Not worth $
The images in Amazon are nothing like what the product is. The pretzels and rings are minuscule. My two pit/lab mixes will eat one in about 30 seconds. So disappointment. Not worth the $ for what you’re getting. I tried to return items which are individually wrapped but they do not allow returns on these products. I have not opened any of them and still not able to return. If you have a dog under 15lbs these may work! If you have a large breed don’t bother. I’m so disappointed. Pictures above is the product next to a small milk bone biscuit (for reference).

A Premium Magnesium Powder From A Brand I Actually Trust
Thorne has a strong reputation in the supplement world, and this Magnesium Citrate powder is a good example of why. Magnesium is one of those basic minerals that does more than people realize. It supports normal muscle and nerve function, helps with energy production, contributes to bone health, and plays a role in cardiovascular function. The NIH notes that magnesium is involved in hundreds of enzyme systems in the body, including processes tied to muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, blood pressure regulation, and bone development. (Office of Dietary Supplements)
Magnesium citrate in particular is a form many people use because it is generally well absorbed and can also help with occasional constipation. That is both a benefit and something to respect. If you take too much, it can move from “helpful” to “where is the nearest bathroom” fairly quickly. I would start modestly and see how your body responds.
The citrus berry flavor is pleasant enough for a mineral powder. It is not candy, and it does not need to be. It mixes reasonably well and is easy to work into a nightly routine or use when you feel like your muscles are tight, your diet has been less than ideal, or you simply want magnesium without swallowing another capsule.
The biggest selling point for me is the brand. Thorne is not some mystery-label supplement company with a pretty bottle and a warehouse address nobody wants to talk about. Thorne says its facility is NSF certified, it manufactures more than 40 NSF Certified for Sport products, and it is used by professional and national sports organizations. (Thorne) Their Magnesium Citrate product page also states that the product is third-party tested and certified to verify what is in the package. (Thorne)
That matters with supplements. You are not just buying magnesium. You are buying confidence that the dosage, purity, and manufacturing standards are being taken seriously. Thorne usually costs more than bargain brands, but with supplements, cheap is not always the victory it looks like on the front end.
Overall, this is a high-quality magnesium option from a brand with real credibility. I like it for muscle support, general wellness, bone and heart-health support, and occasional regularity. Just treat it like a supplement, not a snack, especially if you are sensitive to magnesium or already taking other products that contain it.

Taste is good, reliable manufacturer
Thorne is a reputable brand that has come out with a magnesium citrate and has been certified by a third-party. I sometimes wonder about supplements online, but having a third-party certify the product gives me more peace of mind. It comes in a double protected container for further peace of mind.
This magnesium citrate comes in a powder form and mixes fairly easily with cold water. There is bicarbonate in the product, so it has a slight bubbly texture. This really tastes like citrus berry and is sweetened with monk fruit extract. I like that it has no artificial sweeteners in it.
Magnesium has been known to support muscle heart bone and the urinary tract. It can also help with constipation. My husband is a nurse and he says that they regularly administer this in the hospital when a patient has trouble with constipation.
The recommended dosage is one scoop to 6 to 8 ounces of water. There are about 60 doses in the container. If taken once a day, this will last for two months. This is a good alternative to other magnesium supplements. It is a form that is usually well absorbed by the body.
Given the reputation of the manufacturer, the ease of use, the benefits, and the ease of absorption, I can recommend this product if you are looking to increase magnesium in your diet.

Certified quality magnesium citrate
If you like powdered supplements and planning to take magnesium citrate, then this one if for you.
I take it towards the end of the day, and in addition to the many benefits of magnesium, it actually helps me relax and sleep better, although those are not the main benefits of citrate. I guess we all react differently to supplements.
My favorite setup is when I take it in the evening and sip on it during a sauna session. In all cases, I target end of day.
The taste is very good and it mixes easily with water. Also, Thorne is a brand I trust and it's certified by various bodies. It's worth the premium but it's better to catch a deal on amazon or add it to subscribe and save for a discount if you're planning to use it long term.
