horribly good

Posted by: clynedestine in: ● July 19, 2008

while i find it highly unlikely that i be the first to introduce you to the most awesomest thing to hit internetland since scrabulous, it is still my pleasure and my privilege to order you to watch Joss Whedon's "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog."  not only am i a huge fan of the man himself, but he's taken on a whole new level of media integration and DIY-who-cares-if-there's-a-writer's-strike-i'm-calling-all-my-friends-and-making-a-kick-ass-musical-because-i-love-it-and-i'm-crazy-like-that quality to online distribution.  Neil Patrick Harris delivers a stunningly deadpan breakfast club meets sweeny todd portrayal of the title character, as he struggles to win over his true love (the lovely and talented Felicia Day – i deliver no irony in that cliche, she's awesome) against the painfully stupid, brutishly strong and confusingly charming Captain Hammer, played by Nathan Fillion.  you'll want to have this webisode trilogy at your disposal to catch all the clever lyrics, so i suggest you download it from itunes; plus they go offline tomorrow!  what are you waiting for?  stop reading!  go watch it, watch it again, and dance around your house planning your strategy for world domination.  ok, i think i may have said too much.  enjoy!

I’ve been following this myself. I heartily agree with Nicki, if you’re a fan of Joss, definitely check this out. If you’re not a fan of Joss…what’s wrong with you? Go check this out just to expose yourself to his work :P
Also, nice seeing Nathan Fillion in something that wasn’t cancelled before I knew it existed :P

Damnit! This is why I dislike the iTunes-store. Most of the stuff only works in the states. I guess I’ll have to figure out some other way to get a hold of the webisodes…
Otherwise I agree with Nicki and the poster above. Joss Whedon got some good stuff going on.

I am eagerly awaiting Dr. Horrible’s release on DVD. According to Joss, it’s gonna have some cool extras!
Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion just plain rock!

Nicki, you were the one that ended up leading me to Dr. Horrible, so you are to blame for the hundreds of hours I lost watching this, falling in love with it, obsessively trying to memorize the lyrics, and (at one point) looking for a Dr. Horrible costume on the Internet last Halloween.

Thank you very much, it was worth every second.
