If you go through cigars like Rambo goes through bullets, you need to get yourself an Ammodor.

Designed and built by a small company in Greensboro, NC, Ammodors are a unique line of cigar humidors made from modified US Military surplus metal ammunition cans. On the outside they look like any old ammo can, but pop open the lid and you’ll realize they’re anything but.

For starters, the lid of each can is outfitted with a rubber seal around the rim, making the box 100 percent waterproof and airtight. Inside the rugged steel casing, you’ll find that the whole interior is lined with precision milled 1/4″ thick Spanish Cedar – the ideal lining for high-end humidors since it naturally repels tobacco worms and mold. It also has excellent humidity absorption characteristics, thereby making it perfect for cigar humidification. In addition to the cedar lining, deluxe models also come equipped with top-of-the-line Xikar humidifiers and hygrometers for long-term accuracy and minimal maintenance.

Ammodor boxes come in a variety of different sizes, and custom designs are available upon request. Check out Ammodor.com for details.

7 box office bombs that are actually good movies

Money doesn't always equal quality in Hollywood

Orson Welles in Citizen Kane

Making movies is a business at heart even if fans at home can agree the industry would be better if there were no financial motivations behind cinema. Box office receipts show movie studios and executives what they should concentrate their efforts on. Singular stories are milked into franchises, and films that don't make enough money are thrown aside never to be returned to by another mainstream director.

The truth is that the amount of money a film makes doesn't equal always its quality. Sure, when word-of-mouth spreads that a picture is worthy of viewing, people flock to the theater in droves. Legendary films such as those in the The Lord of the Rings series or Star Wars were both financially strong and award-winning epics. But sometimes ticket sales elude incredible movies. These are the nine box office bombs that are actually good movies!

James Cameron doesn’t want to hear your critiques of the way he writes dialogue

The director has made three of the four highest-grossing movies of all time.

No director has had more success at the box office over the course of their career than James Cameron. Cameron has directed three of the highest-grossing movies of all time : Titanic, Avatar, and Avatar: The Way of Water. Across those movies and the rest in Cameron's career, though, people have always pointed out that Cameron's dialogue can feel a little bit sentimental.

In a recent interview with Empire Magazine for the 40th anniversary of The Terminator, Cameron said that he doesn't see that original movie as any sort of "holy grail."
“I look at it now, and there are parts of it that are pretty cringe-worthy, and parts of it that are like, ‘Yeah, we did pretty well for the resources we had available,'" he said.
Cameron specifically called out the way he writes dialogue, though, saying that he doesn't bristle at any of the writing.
“I don’t cringe on any of the dialogue, but I have a lower cringe factor than, apparently, a lot of people do around the dialogue that I write,” Cameron added. “You know what? Let me see your three-out-of-the-four-highest-grossing films — then we’ll talk about dialogue effectiveness.”
