Anybody Seen Dr Horrible's Sing-along Blog?

At the behest of Kamigoroshi, my wife and I watched it last night. It was awesome, and had us laughing a good part of the time. And the songs were actually catchy enough to make me want to sing them.

(Just as a sidenote, if you've watched this and enjoyed it, you'll likely be very interested in the book Soon I Will Be Invincible by Austin Grossman.)

It was awesome. I watched it twice. I dare say what for a villain, he's just as cool as The Joker. Dr. Horrible is an inspiration to all us mad scientists.

I read a science fiction blog called io9. I first heard it there ages ago. Then again, I've always been a Joss Whedon fan, so I would have heard about it anyway regardless. :)

Too bad it's only going to be shown for free till the 20th of July. I would recommend this to everyone I know, if they were online to watch it.

I just watched it. According to the site:

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog" will be streamed, LIVE (that part’s not true), FREE (sadly, that part is) right on Drhorrible.com, in mid-July. Specifically:

ACT ONE (Wheee!) will go up Tuesday July 15th.

ACT TWO (OMG!) will go up Thursday July 17th.

ACT THREE (Denouement!) will go up Saturday July 19th.

All acts will stay up until midnight Sunday July 20th. Then they will vanish into the night, like a phantom (but not THE Phantom – that’s still playing. Like, everywhere.)

Then it will be back for a nominal fee:

2) What happens when it goes away? Does it go to a happy farm for always like Fluffy did when mommy was crying and the neighbor kept washing his fender?

No, Dr horrible will live on. We intend to make it available for download soon after it’s published. This would be for a nominal fee, which we’re hoping people will embrace instead of getting all piratey. We have big dreams, people, and one of them is paying our crew.

Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day are in it (cool that The Guild's actress was in it).

I saw Kami Twittered about it but I had no idea what he was talking about. I enjoyed it and I'm definitely going to recommend it. How did you guys hear about this?

Bought it off iTunes season pass, watched the final one this morning. Loved it. I haven't been so entertained by "tv" since firefly... err... hmm...

Three Acts are up. They're good. Very, very good.

From Joss Whedon:

The idea was to make it on the fly, on the cheap – but to make it. To turn out a really thrilling, professionalish piece of entertainment specifically for the internet. To show how much could be done with very little. To show the world there is another way. To give the public (and in particular you guys) something for all your support and patience. And to make a lot of silly jokes. Actually, that sentence probably should have come first.

I love it already. Seen it yet?
