I've sort of rediscovered something I haven't seen since 2008. It's called Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along blog. It's a short movie/ musical about a wannabe evil villain who blogs about its triumphs and failures. The movie was release in 3 parts or episodes. I got into in back in 2008 because it's directed by Joss Whedon, the director of The Avengers and one of my favorite TV shows Firefly. The cast is amazing. Felicia Day, Neil Patrick Harris, Simon Helberg (The Big Bang Theory - Howard), and best of all Nathan Fillion who played Mal in Firefly.
I rediscovered this gem because they recently released another "episode." I highly recommend everyone to check it out, it's really entertaining. I think those of you who maybe aren't fans of musicals would still enjoy it; the actors are amazing and you really can't go wrong with Joss Whedon.

There you can find Dr. Horrible books, comic books, and merchandise.
Here's the entire first movie (parts 1, 2, and 3)
I'm gonna say it, I didn't like Firefly. It made me think Joss Whedon was overrated (I didn't like Buffy either). But after The Avengers, Cabin In The Woods, and this; I am on board. The dude's good.
ReplyDeleteI love love love the musical genius of Neil Patrick Harris. I had also forgotten about this for quite some time until I heard his voice re-appear on glee last year. Needless to say, I Netflix-ed it immediately. It's a good watch, and the Dr. Horrible aspect is both amusing and comical.
