Survey Says... Danny Phantom!

Danny Phantom is one of my absolute favorite shows from Nickelodeon! And when Shout Factory! announced last year that they had got the rights to it (along with many other old Nick shows), I was so excited about getting them on DVD!

Season 2, Part 1 was released April 3, 2012, so OF COURSE I went out and bought it (I did the same for Season 1) :3 But I feel like ShoutFactory! didn't really give a shit about this release. The artwork is cool and all, but the actual content on the discs are all screwed up.

The inside artwork of the DVD set lists the first ten episodes as being:

1. Memory Bank
2. Doctor's Orders
3. Pirate Radio
4. Reign Storm, Part 1
5. Reign Storm, Part 2
6. Identity Crisis
7. Fenton Menace
8. The Ultimate Enemy, Part 1
9. The Ultimate Enemy, Part 2
10. The Fright Before Christmas

The list on the artwork is 100% correct, as that's the order the episodes were originally released by Nickelodeon while they were on air. HOWEVER (and this is what really saddens me), while watching the DVD, I noticed the episodes are ordered all out-of-whack, some are missing, and some are on the set that shouldn't be there. The DVD episodes go in the order of:

1. Reign Storm, Part 1
2. Reign Storm, Part 2
3. Doctor's Orders
4. Identity Crisis
5. Fenton Menace
6. Pirate Radio
7. The Fright Before Christmas
8. Micro-Management (should be in part 2)
9. Masters of All Time (should be in part 2)
10. Beauty Marked (should be in part 2)

So yeah, way to show no respect for the fans of a show. It looks like they just slapped together a bunch of episodes that just HAPPENED to be in Season 2 of the show, called them part 1, and hoped no one would notice. And so, obviously part 2 (whenever it's released), will be just as jumbled of a mess to finish up the season. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that Season 3 isn't as out of order as this was.

**UPDATE**
ShoutFactory! commented on a Facebook post I left them about this issue, and they stated that the episodes on the DVD are in the order that they intended, but there was a misprint with the DVD artwork. They informed me to email them about getting the correct DVD wrap, so I'm doing just that! >.>

Life: Updated!.. Again!

I havn't been on since January (So to the two people that might read this: I'm sorry.) I just wanted to say heyyyy :) And say that I'm going to try and be on more like in the beginning :)

Will just say that I've been put up to full time at work, Sean and I just celebrated our one year three days ago :3 we're moving at the end of May to a new apartment (maybe in the same apartment complex, but hopefully not), and I'm (fingers crossed) starting Parkland in June =)

I THOUGHT that I only had to get a letter from work saying that I've worked 35+ hours per week in the past 30 days to be listed as in-district (thus, saving me $1200), HOWEVER >.< I found out that I have to do that PLUS get a notarized letter from my mom saying she no longer claims me as a dependent, a letter from my roommates saying I've lived here since January, and a voter registration card and my driver's license listed as me living in this area >.> fml. I got the work letter, and yesterday got the letter from my mom and the roommates.. now for the DL and VR part :o ugh

So that's all folks ;)

Life: Updated.

So, news in the world of Tyler. (If you've befriended me on Twitter, Facebook, or Formspring, you might already know a lot of this.)..

I GOT A JOB AT WALMART! :] Orientation was the 10th, did computer work the 12th, and had my first official shift last night! Have today off and then I go back Tuesday.. o.O Training for these next two weeks, then I don't know.

I was supposed to have a second job at Steak 'n Shake, but today I got a phone call saying that they no longer needed me since I couldn't work night shift for them =/ which is total BS! Now I'm looking for a possible second job.. which I might already have lined up :D I got a call from Za's today about my application.. so I have to call them back tomorrow ^_^

My biggest problem with these jobs: I have no car. Well.. I have one. It just doesn't have a tire on, and there's some issues under the hood >.> My mom "stole" my tire about 2 or 3 months ago, and I'm just now needing the use of my car, and when we got to put the tire back on, the lugnuts are missing!?!?!?! So, we have to do something about that >___<

Lastly, I will be moving the first of February to Champaign (about 40 minutes from where I live now), to apartments with Sean's cousin, her boyfriend, and two other people. Should be interesting.. o.O I've found that I don't have enough boxes for our stuff ^~^ ugh oh..

So, that's about it :] Hopefully things keep going good(ish) for me =)

The New Year!

We are six days into 2012. And I have neglected to wish the Blogger world a Happy New Year... sooo... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! =)

The biggest thing I'm trying to do right now is get a job! I had two interviews Tuesday, Jan 3rd at Walmart and Cracker Barrel. I got a job offer at Walmart, had a drug test yesterday, and now I'm just waiting for a phone call about orientation. I think my Cracker Barrel interview went great, and I'm supposed to hear back from them sometime next week. Then I have an interview at the Steak 'n Shake where my brother works. I'd rather work at the Steak 'n Shake, than the Cracker Barrel, but whatever I get, I'll be happy.

Hopefully between two part time jobs, I'll get the type of money I need to pay for 1/4 of an apartment, pay for food, and save up for college in the fall.

Then I've set a New Year's Resolution to feel better about myself. I have this amazing life, and amazing boyfriend, and yet, I'm always feeling depressed and down in the dumps. I want that to change. Going to be doing more physical activities, hopefully eating a little better, and just try and get myself into a better psychological state!

Again, Happy New Year to all, and I wish you all the best in this New Year! <3

Black Panther!

This is a show that I had never heard of, but just came across randomly during one of my surfs of the web. It seemed interesting, so I got it. And it's actually pretty awesome. It's not your typical superhero show at all, though there are many cameos my Captain America and the X-Men. Storm especially plays a big part in the show. It was pretty awesome seeing some of my favorite characters mixed with brand new ones that I had never heard of before.

The show is about a man named T'Challa, who becomes the new Black Panther in the pilot. The Black Panther is the leader of the country of Wakanda, and protects all their land, people, and secrets in advancements. The show revolves around T'Challa's desire to get revenge on the man that killed his father. That man, Klaw, along with Batroc the Leaper, Juggernaut(a familiar face from X-Men: The Last Stand), the Vatican Black Knight, and the Russian Radioactive man, are aiming at taking over Wakanda for its technology and resources.

The ENTIRE SERIES is only six episodes long. If you want a quick show to watch, I definitely recommend this one! This animated series is the first motion comic show I've seen. I loved this different take on animation. The action in this is great, there's TONS of blood, and the story is rather great.

X-Men: Worst Class

When X-Men: First Class first came out this past June, I went straight to theaters to see it. I absolutely love any and all superhero movies, and I personally own all four previous X-Men movies AND the original animated series. So yeah, I went opening weekend to see it. And I thought it was the absolute worst X-Men movie of the franchise. And tonight, I watched it again, this time in the comfort of my own home, thinking maybe I missed something the first time around that everyone else apparently fell in love with. But nope. 

I was very disappointed that the only original cast members in this were Rebecca Romijn and Hugh Jackman, and they only had ten second cameos, without those cameos, I would never had watched this movie a second time. And my favorite X-Men (Storm) didn't have the screen time she deserved.

My biggest question: Why did the James McAvoy-version of Professor X constantly have the need to touch his head when using his ability? I do not recall the Patrick Stewart-version of Professor X ever doing that.. and James McAvoy didn't do it just once in awhile, he did it ALL THE FREAKING TIME! =/ Why? It seemed like James McAvoy was waaaay overacting on his part. 

With this film, James McAvoy has climbed the latter to becoming one of my least favorite actors. He's just horrible. 

I do not see how this movie is having such good reviews. Hopefully the sequel to this will impress me more.. they won't have to do much to do that. 

(Even the poster for the film is poorly made.. Photoshop at its worst!)

American Horror Review

*WARNING: TONS OF AMERICAN HORROR STORY SPOILERS FOR THOSE WHO HAVN'T SEEN THE FINALE*

Spoilers ahead! BEWARE!!

Note to television writers/producers: if you create a show that ends up killing off almost every single main character during the first season, it's gonna end up being my favorite new show of the year! That's what happened with American Horror Story, and aside from the entire cast dying off, there's a long list of reasons why this show was amazing! For one, you get to see Dylan McDermott's very very nice butt ;) The entire season was well thought out, well organized, creepy, and just SPECTACULAR! I hope Jessica Lange was happy with this being her first big television role, because I sure was =)

My favorite character, though, was the housekeeper, Moira. I want to go out and buy the complete series of Six Feet Under just to see more of Frances Conroy!

Last week, Ryan Murphy announced that he plans to change the cast and location for season 2... Which means that there will likely be no more Jessica Lange, Frances Conroy, ect =( But I also read that some of the major characters might return with cameos or something.. o.O So my fingers are crossed for more Moira! As she always seemed so distraught knowing her body was buried out back, so maybe we'll get some conclusion to that =)

My hopes are that season 2 has more episodes! THAT would be awesome! And really hoping we don't have to wait all the way until next October for more, but that is very unlikely..
