Dr. Horrible

Post by Psyloche »

Some Joss Whedon stab at musical, people who like his humor and Neil Patrick Harris (who doesn't after How I Met Your Mother?) should enjoy it. Watching first sing-along blog, it's worth a few minutes even just playing in the background.

I just saw the site today, and the mix of Joss Whedon and Nathan Fillion cannot be bad :) I cant view the main site though, ill try it later, they seem to be having some problems, and could guess it might be overloaded on top of that :)

I tried loading it again here at work and it's timing out. I also read a few comments that since it's hosted on Hulu or something, it isn't streaming outside of the US, which also might be the problem you're running into. I'm sure there's got to be some place else streaming it too though.

The site that is streaming it is currently down, but they are working on getting it running again. The first episode is quite amusing.

It is supposed to be available outside the U.S. as well but they have been apparently having lots of traffic issues all day.

It is also available through itunes, they charge you there but it is pretty cheap. 1.99 for a single episode or 3.99 for a season pass that gets you all three.

I just watched this and it was hilarious..

Joss Whedon, Nathan Fillion, NPH, teh funny.. It was all there.

Highly Recommended and I'll probably wind up buying the DVD.

I just read the faq and this was something he wrote during the writers strike with the goal of distributing it exactly like what's happening now.

There's something oddly intriguing about that girl who plays Penny in this. She's attractive in a very non-traditional sense.

Act II is up, unfortunately I can't watch these from work so I'll have to wait until I get home.

She's Felicia Day! She was in Buffy for several episodes in the final season (killed by Nathan Fillion's character I do believe!), and more recently on the web show The Guild. And yes, she's intriguing! :vv_facial:

All episodes now up online. Supposed to be taken offline tomorrow, so watch them while you can!

I found it very entertaining. I think I'm starting to see why the rest of you seem to get such nerd-boners for this Joss Whedon guy.

Good stuff!

-------

this is so nice
I just might sleep with the same girl twice

they say it's better the second time
they say you get to do the weird stuff

chorus

We do the weird stuff!

-------

Whedon rocks because he's so in touch with what geeks want and stays accessible to his fans. He's also amazing in that he can go from writing/directing Firefly/Serenity to writing one of the best 12 issues ever in Astonishing X-Men, bringing back the things that made the comic great before they were lost to marketing.

I don't know how Dollhouse will turn out but Firefly is a timeless classic series that everyone should see.

I've had the Freeze Ray song on my brain since I first saw this. It's awesome. And a 4th episode is in the works already.

Here's the online comic about Captain Hammer: http://www.myspace.com/darkhorsepresent ... storynum=2

Felicia Day was the girl from the youtube videos about the guild.

She's either a gamer or has placed her careeer adjacent to nerddom. Either way I'm okay with it, she's hilarious.

I hope Joss and his team make a shitload of money off this. I will be purchasing the DvD for sure.
