I just read a new report trying to estimate how many people visit theme parks worldwide, and it’s interesting, though a little strange. They seem to have left out some parks – I was surprised Dollywood wasn’t included! – but Disney World and Disneyland are definitely highlighted. It feels like a big marketing win for Disney to be positioned as the top dog, especially considering the report admits they don’t actually get official attendance numbers from the parks themselves. It’s cool to see the estimates, but I take it all with a grain of salt.
Jacqueline Wilson, the former Children’s Laureate and author of popular books like The Illustrated Mum, is concerned about how her family and friends will respond to the more mature themes in her new book, Picture Imperfect. The 79-year-old author says the new story contains a bolder storyline than her previous work.
Director George Romero, who co-wrote the screenplay with Erin Judge, doesn’t bother explaining the origins of the zombies or how they started attacking people in New York City. That’s typical for zombie movies, though—the cause isn’t really the point. What matters is how the characters survive. The film is well-made and moves at a good pace, but the relationships between the characters could have been developed more fully.
No matter what you like to play – whether it’s a story-driven game with tough decisions, a complex city-building simulator, a retro throwback full of excitement, or something completely different – you’ll find something to enjoy this weekend. We all have a growing list of games we mean to play, so sometimes it’s more relaxing to start something fresh and escape for a while.
The concert felt incredibly emotional and like a turning point for 2hollis. Before the show, he explained that the “momma and daddy” he sings about represent his fans – people he feels grateful to have connected with, even though they’ve never met. Hearing the sold-out crowd sing his lyrics back to him was a powerful release. It was also his first performance in his hometown since a fire destroyed his childhood home earlier this year. The overwhelming support from his community, after he overcame that hardship and achieved musical success, was deeply moving and you could feel it in the room.

A new video from @CosmicMMedia, showing footage from the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, has surfaced. This clip focuses on the character Sink and shows her getting injured. Interestingly, she isn’t being taken to the hospital by paramedics; instead, she’s wheeled away on a stretcher by unidentified people into a black vehicle.
