I’m tempted to write down any number of great lines, or even to upload me humming some of the catchy verses — but we haven’t got the technology. Yet.
Go rent Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Outstanding entertainment — funny, and smart, and (damn!) at the end even surprisingly moving. It’s short, and began life as three acts of an online film, but don’t hold that against Joss Whedon’s genius here, against Neil Patrick Harris’ perfection as the eponymous Doctor, against the criminally-undervalued Nathan Fillion yet again showing why we should scratch our heads that the guy isn’t in many more films than insert-action-comedy-lead here.
Ah–apparently not available for rental yet. Buy it, or go to hulu.
Buy it. You get both the regular commentary and a “musical commentary” as part of the extras. This is the single funniest and most touching thing I have watched this year. It is an almost perfect miniature. And you will find yourself humming the tunes for weeks afterwards.
It is no Dr. Horrible, but there are some good moments in this web-only series: http://www.conciergetheseries.com/
Watched the whole thing on YouTube. Great fun, thanks so much! I love Captain Hammer. “I hate the homeless…-ness problem.”
