Dr. Horrible's Sing A-Long Blog

I imagine most of you have probably seen this already, but it's always best to spread the love in case someone hasn't.

In response to the writer's strike, Joss Whedon is trying out a new method of distributing work without Hollywood. So, for this week only, Dr. Horrible's Sing A-Long Blog will be online for your viewing pleasure. The first act came out on the 15th, the second act came out today and the third act will be out on Saturday. You can also download them from iTunes, I believe. The whole thing will be taken down after midnight on Sunday, possibly to be made available to download for a small fee or to be put on DVD at a later date.

Plot description, from the myspace page:

The story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to. Featuring Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible, Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer, Felicia Day as Penny and a cast of dozens.


It's a musical, too. And it's very funny. Go forth and watch!

Am I the only one who can't get into this...? [duck] I tried watching it, really I did, but I got like halfway through or so -- I think to the point where the chick was trying to hand out fliers -- and trying to keep my attention focused had become way more work than the occasional funny bit was worth, so I bailed and went on to the next thing on my Flist.

Everyone else seems to think it's all that and a bag of chips, though, and I can't figure out why. :/ I guess every way-cool thing that comes along has to have someone blinking at it and going, "Wait, what...?" [wry smile]
