Biggest debut of 2025? Exactly what competition has it faced in the first 7 weeks of 2025? A cartoon dog, a re-release of the Goonies and Sev7en, and an ape singing Robbie Williams song's. It's opening weekend is tracking similar to Black Widow and Ant Man & Quantumania, hardly a towering success. Disney has bought positive media reviews. My son wanted to see it, it's mediocre. It's disted and you can virtually see where the re-shoots have been slotted in.

Ms Sargent is criticising King for depicting horrific school shootings, all of which were written before the phenomenon raised it's ugly head. Rather than criticising King perhaps the US should rethink the gun laws that ensure children can access to firearms. I think this is a clear case of blaming the messenger or failing to understand what the definition of "fiction" actually is. I would like to see the author's critique of Shakespeare, his work makes Stephen King tales look like "Goodnight Moon". Perhaps we should stop trying to apply modern transitional values to historical works of fiction? The permanently offended should stick with Goodnight Moon, and leave adult fiction to adults.
