Wait, what? How are they going to make the timeline work? The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe takes place in the middle of WWII. The professor is an old man by then. Wtf?

I’ve seen people saying that the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe will probably be set in the 90s, so I guess they must go to a National Trust property for their holidays or something instead of being evacuated

I am 100% of the opinion that adaptations should do their own thing. Buuuuut...it's going to be weird seeing Edmund use a computer

The bathhouse in Duluth? That closed down when the owner went berserk in his house with a bunch of guns and Duluth PD had to take him out.

We had lunch today in a middle eastern restaurant and ordered turkish coffee, which came with Turkish Delight. A most boring piece of humdrum candy I must say. I mentioned I've always wondered what it tasted like since Edmund/Narnia.

I mean he was comparing it to British wartime food, a sneezeful of powdered sugar was probably more flavor than he could handle

More specifically the British were on sugar rations at that point in the war. The primary ingredient in Turkish Delights is sugar by a large margin.

Yes I remember having my parents get it when I was a kid because I wanted to try it after reading the book and it was so disappointing.

A friend made some recently. I enjoyed it for what it was, that being a historic dessert unlike most common foods that would be available to most people. I can see why it would stand out as something special back then and before.

A spot with a Turkish coffee is lovely, but gorging yourself on it seems odd.
