Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

Joss Whedon (the creator of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer Movie and TV Series, as well as Firefly and Serenity) has joined forces with friends of his to create Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. It stars Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day and is a supervillain musical that’s quite funny. It’s only going to be on the website for this week and will go away after Sunday the 20th. So click the image above and check it out.

For those interested, Neil Patrick Harris is best known as Doogie Howser and currently stars in “How I Met Your Mother” on CBS. Nathan Fillion was in Buffy, Firefly and Serenity ( as well as a bit part on LOST ). Felicia Day was also on Buffy and has a pretty funny web video called “The Guild” that’s based around World of Warcraft.

Sorry for the “ad”, but I thought this was funny and that their work should be appreciated by as large an audience as possible.

    Danny and I watched this on “the big screen” in the TV room. So tongue in cheek. Great fun! We laughed out loud. For those who hate musicals, maybe not.

    They did a piece about this on NPR today…I’m a little sad it’s just the three parts.

    How can you not love this short movie? Neil Patrick Harris is a hoot. Who knew he could sing? And the whole thing of making fun of blogs and bloggers–how
    great is that?

    Has anyone mentioned it seems a perfect metaphor for our dolt President?? Think about it–-likeable, not very bright but ambitious guy has big plans, they come to be and wreck things, in the end. It’s perfect. It’s W all over, guys.

    Just wait ’til Halowe’en, folks. It’ll be all “Dr. Horrible”, “The Hammer” and “Moist” costumes!
