Nobody wants to do fairy tales in Hollywood. They'd try to make it a fantasy epic like the LotR trilogy and lose some of the simpler charms of the stories. With that said, there's absolutely great material in the Chronicles of Prydain and Taran's journey from boy to man absolutely should be translated into a good work some day.

Looks like they tried to replicate Netflix too fast. At least one unforced error was cutting of multiple lucrative licensing deals to shove everything onto HBO Max because they thought it would drive an almost unfathomable number of subscriptions. But that’s not how these new streaming services work in relation to audience and I think a lot of people were more frustrated by the loss of their favorite shows rather than compelled to follow them to HBO Max.

I'm presuming the combination of strangers and scary dogs drove OP to flee, thereby contributing to the precipitous drop in "amount of candy in stomach" toward the end of the night.

I did a little digging to see if my diet had enough Vitamin D in it. Turns out, the three eggs I eat every day as a part of my salad does indeed have more than enough Vitamin D to meet my daily recommended limits! Makes me a little happy since I don't get to spend as much time outside as some other people.
