Stephen Hillenburg, Creator of "Spongebob Squarepants" Dies at 57

Stephen Hillenburg, producer, director, writer, and creator of the beloved animated tv show: "Spongebob Squarepants" sadly passed away due to complications from ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) on November 26, 2018.

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a terminal disease in which a person's nerve cells break down and they are unable to physically function. Back in the Summer of 2014, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge gathered much awareness and donations for the disease.
Hillenburg revealed his diagnosis of ALS in March of 2017 in an interview with Variety when he was in the early stages of the disease.
"Spongebob Squarepants" is a defining aspect of my childhood and of many others worldwide. The multiple award-winning television series is a staple of Nickelodeon.
"Spongebob Squarepants" first aired on May 1st, 1999, almost twenty years ago. The show has eleven seasons and two movies. Even though it has had its weird episodes, it has never failed to put a smile on my face. Every character is different but lovable in their own special ways.
Fans of the show are petitioning to have the show's rendition of "Sweet Victory" which was shown on one of the show's most iconic episodes in its history: "Band Geeks" in honor of Hillenburg during the halftime of the 2019 Super Bowl. As of the time, this has been written, the petition has about 435, 275 signatures and is quickly increasing.
Stephen Hillenburg has truly left behind a legacy and will be dearly missed.
Will you sign the petition?

Ranking Demi Lovato's Albums!

Hi! This week I'm going to share my opinion on one of my favorite musical artists: Demi Lovato. This is all based on my own opinion, so you don't have to agree. Currently, she has six studio albums. This list will only include her personal albums (except for "Moves Me" [2004] & "Demo" [?]). This will not include soundtracks or compilation albums from her other projects. 5. ("Tell Me You Love Me" Album Cover) In fifth place is her latest album, "Tell Me You Love Me [Clean] (Deluxe) + (Target Exclusive)" which was released in 2017. I personally don't like this album. It's a good album, but I'm not the target demographic for this album, so maybe that's why I don't like it. Many of the songs have a more adult theme, so parental consent is recommended. The album is different from Lovato's previ...

Why High School Musical & Descendants Are the Same

vs To clear up any misunderstandings, I understand that both franchises were directed and choreographed by Kenny Ortega so they will have some similarities in their layouts. "High School Musical" is a DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) that was released in 2006. The movie conveys the message of breaking free of quotas and being your true self, no matter what labels people put on you, through various different musical numbers. The movie follows star basketball player Troy Bolton and overly 'smart' Gabriella Montez, and how music unites the two unexpected couple together. "Descendants" is a DCOM that was released in 2015, almost ten years after the release of the original High School Musical. The movie teaches the audience that you must make your own choices in life, and you do not have to live the same lives as your parents, even if that is what is expected of you. The musical follo...

Is "Under Wraps" Really that Bad?

Is the 1997 DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) "Under Wraps" really one of the worst DCOMs? According to EOnline, it's the ninth worst DCOM to have ever been made. The movie is aimed at a slightly older audience, like me, but it never goes out of its way to show that. It has believable characters, like Amy, the sarcastic one of the trio of friends who, inevitably find and awake a mummy, whom they call Harold. They embark on a journey to save Harold from turning into dust but instead learn a lesson about love. The main character, Marshall, has trouble accepting that his mom is in a relationship with someone who is not his father. After seeing what troubles Harold, played by the voice of Patrick Star from the tv show "Spongebob Squarepants", Bill Fagerblake, goes through to see his love for the final time, he comes to a conclusion that his mom should be able to love whomev...
