musicalgeniusness of the moment
dr. horrible’s sing-along-blog
created by joss whedon
It used to be available on hulu, but it looks like they took it off. Personally, I’d recommend buying it, because it really is that good, but in the mean time, I found that some unbelievably thoughtful person posted it on you tube.
(The evil laugh at the beginning of act 1 is one of my ringtones.)
Okay, so I can’t even begin to explain my love for Joss Whedon. The man’s a genius. I just want to crawl inside his brain and think his thoughts. Wow, that sounded a lot less creepy in my head.
He’s the brain behind such creations as Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse… The man’s unstoppable. His wit is unparalleled. It’s pithy and irreverent, intelligent and thought-provoking, goofy and assbackward. His work tends to include inside jokes that make the people who catch them feel special and self-important (or maybe that’s just me). I love watching episode commentary by him.
When I first discovered this, I was kind of obsessed. I would watch it multiple times in a day. As soon as it was available, I bought all three acts and the soundtrack from itunes, put it on my ipod and would walk around work singing Brand New Day (it was okay, because my co-workers already knew I was weird).
The main characters in the masterpiece are portrayed by Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day and Nathan Fillion.
Neil Patrick Harris, I’m assuming you recognize from Doogie Howser, How I Met Your Mother, the Harold and Kumar escapades, and countless other productions.
Felicia Day was on a season of Buffy, guest appearances all over the place, and writes and stars in the comedic web show The Guild.
Nathan Fillion first won a place in my heart as Captain Malcolm Reynolds in Firefly. You might also recognize him as the whiny ass bitch in Saving Private Ryan, or as the “ruggedly handsome” author/police consultant in Castle.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go eat fruit snacks.
If the links don't work, then there must be a problem.
True story.
