...I sing along. Do you?

http://www.drhorrible.com/

Honestly, I'm beyond obsessed. I'm absolutely fanatical over this newest 'series' created by that genius, Joss Whedon (most of you know him from Firefly or Buffy the Vampire Slayer.)

So in short, this three-part series follows the story (via 'blog' posts and flashbacks) of supervillian Dr. Horrible... all in musical style! (So lots of sporadic bursting into song.) Dr Horrible is repeatedly hindered from joining the Evil League of Evil by his nemesis, Captain Hammer... and the series follows his attempts it a confusingly comical fashion.

It's humorous. It's tragic. It's romantic. It's ...random. You honestly don't want to miss this. It's worth the purchase from iTunes, I promise. (And there are *cough* less honorable ways of viewing.)

Props to Whedon for making this during the <i>horrible</i> (npi) writer's strike we all remember.

So where are the other fans? :teehee:

I'd heard about this a while ago...and then forgot all about it in the excitement of the other Whedon project Dollhouse :duh:
I'll need to check it out, because Nathan Fillion and Neil Patrick Harris = serious awesome.

Yes! Yes, I'm obsessed with Dr. Horrible's blog too! I've watched the whole thing several times, and watched individual songs even more. It's great!

Yay to Lenya for making me watch it! :teehee: Hilarious show. So incredibly random. Hail Joss Whedon! I especially love whenever Bad Horse gives a message.

^ Yay to Nurr for actually watching it! :P

@Monty: You can watch it online here!
I probably oughta put a rating/warning/thing on it. It'd be rated PG to PG-13...ish :teehee:

I heard that a DVD is supposed to be coming out soon, along with a soundtrack. I totally want to buy them when they're available!

Mb & Phoenix: :hiya: Go watch. Now. That's an order. :teehee: Seriously, I know both of you will LOVE it... definitely something you don't want to miss.

And Joss Whedon = :notworthy:

Lenya: Yes, I want to buy it too!! Someone has already put the songs on myspace, and I've memorized them, even <i>Brand New Day</i>. :D What was your favorite song? I think mine is <i>Evil Rising</i>.

Nurr: BAD HORSE :yes: !!! Epic character. At the very end, when we finally see him, I just keeled over. I mean... I guess I was not thinking, but I didn't expect him to, um, be so literal. :teehee:

Oh yes, favorite quotes? I love, "What a crazy random happenstance!" as well as "The world is a mess and I just need to rule it!"

Listen to songs <A HREF="http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=397361675">here.</A>

I don't know if I have a favorite quote. I love them all!

I hope to set an example for, you know, children and stuff.

Oh goodness, look and my wrist, gotta go

Molecules change in trans-matter transportation.

Wow, sarcasm! that's original.


But I absolutely LOVE that Nathan Fillion sang his own songs. He is my hero. :teehee:

Finally watched that a few days ago. Very funny. Liked the end with Bad Horse.

"The world is a mess and I just need to rule it!" Thats just how I feel. :)
