Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

[Electronic Samurai]

This (http://www.drhorrible.com/) is fantastic.

It's a 3-part feature-length musical sung from the perspective of a mad scientist villain, directed by...wait for it...Joss Whedon! The first 3 episodes are already available on the site - the last one will be aired July 19th, and then all three will be taken down on the 20th.

[Chimaera]

I saw the first episode the other day, it's really slow, and Doogie Howser looks a little worse for wear, but it really picks up when Nathan Fillion jumps in. I'll check out the 2nd one when I get home from work. I hope for a dramatic improvement in the overall story (instead of a 6 minute mono-blog from Doogie) in Act II. However if you don't catch it by the 20th don't worry since on the site Whedon says he'll release it on DVD at some point in the future.

[Yoshi3gg]

It starts out kind of slow (the "video blog" portion feels forced and awkward - just like most video blogs, I suppose, haha) but once the first song starts it really picks up.

Only other complaint is that Penny (played by the awesome Felicia Day from The Guild) is kind of a one-dimensional character.

Other than that, I'm absolutely loving it, and can't wait for Act 3. And really, how could I say no to anything with Nathan Fillion in it?

ARGH mine came first! :-x

[Dhsu]

If by first you mean more than 24 hours later than mine! :lol:

I don't see this being feature length though. Each act has been pretty short, so when it's finished it'll probably be 45 minutes tops.

[Chimaera]

Saw Act II last night, it DEFINITELY picked up after the slow start in the first. Nathan Fillion could be such a jerk if he really wanted to :D

Dialogue's better, feels less forced even when Dr. Horrible does his 'blog' entries, I like the intermixed parts of the dual-core "Becoming more evil/Rapturous" piece, I can't wait till the 3rd part comes out now. Hopefully the 3rd part will be long enough to justify getting this on DVD at some point in the future.

[Dhsu]

If you call a duet "dual-core" again you are banned from the Internet!

[Shadow Wolf]

Yeah, it's pretty much amazing. Best line in the series thus far:

"Balls."

[Imagist]

Wrong. It's: "These are not the hammer............

The hammer is my penis."

Late on the draw, but I just stumbled across this series.

I thought it was amazing, and was happy that the ending was not cliche like I thought it would be.

Excellent.

[Dhsu]

That's kinda funny because Whedon was specifically going for cliche.

[Maco70]

Really?
I thought cliche would have been if there was a happy ending, or if Dr. Horrible had a change of heart at the last minute (became a good guy).
I was genuinely surprised at the ending.

I'll definitely get this... I hope there'll be some good extras. Wouldn't mind if it came with the soundtrack, too.

And it has twenty 5-star reviews already. KF

CRIKEY, MATES! USE THE OCR AMAZON STORE!

[Bleck]

wait

OCR has a store?

[Maco70]

Wait, how does it work? I thought it just meant you were a seller. Sucks since I just bought all of my Christmas gifts from regular amazon...

Wouldn't mind if it came with the soundtrack, too.


The soundtrack is available on itunes and amazon. Buy it, and love it.

[DJMetal]

My friends all rave about this movie, but all that raving has really turned me off to it. I'll probably see it at some point...but after getting serenaded by some questionable individuals, it will be a while.

TO; stop using djp's account.

Also; I heard there's going to be 'commentary the musical'... it will be interesting to see how that doesn't clash with the feature itself.

[SwordBreaker]

If I'm not mistaken, the people involved in VOCR3 told me about this through one entry. I need to check this out later.

[Hy Bound]

That was awesome. I have to say, I've recently thought Joss Whedon has been slightly overrated (I mean Firefly was outstanding, but otherwise?) but this made me realize how good he really can be. Also, I have a huge man-crush on Nathan Fillion... He's just so awesome.

...Anywho... To the people who have been reluctant to see it: Its not god's gift to man, but it really is pretty excellent, especially considering what it has to compete with.

[Beatdrop]

The best thing about it is that it was funded entirely by cast and crew. No production studio had its hands on this whatsoever. The actors involved weren't even initially paid for their contributions, if I remember correctly.

So, yeah, awesome. And yeah, I'm in agreement with Hy Bound here. If I were a woman, I'd be part of Nathan Fillion's trio of groupies in the third part of this.

[Dhsu]

Or you could be the guy groupie.

[Maco70]

One of the groupies was a guy.

Its strange, I'm oddly drawn to her even though I can't say I am attracted to her at all... I guess its because shes indescribably nerdy...

The Guild (http://www.watchtheguild.com/) is what sealed it for me. I didn't even know she was in Dr. Horrible until I saw it (I only knew Joss Whedon and Nathan Fillion were involved); seeing Felicia Day and NPH was just a really great bonus. KF

Which now is also conveniently available for free on via xbox live. =D

[ProjectSpam]

Yeah, I saw this a couple weeks ago and watched it like 5 times that week. Pretty awesome concept off a pretty small budget. Joss Whedon is amazing.

[The Pezman]

I'd completely forgotten about it til I saw this thread again, and then I went and watched it.

How could I have been in the dark for so long?

It's fantastic because I'm a musical actor, and when they mentioned that Sondheim seriously influenced many of the pieces it confirmed my suspicions and made me incredibly happy.

Almost as happy as this (http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1852747_1854195_1854133,00.html).

[Maco70]

Just throwing this out there:

The DVD is worth the ten bucks.

The special features are pretty awesome.

[Toadofsky]

My friends all rave about this movie, but all that raving has really turned me off to it.

Same thing happened to me with Heroes. I just couldn't stand hearing about it. Not to mention my room mate is watching it right now... ugh.

[Alexis]

I love Dr. Horrible. I just made Cerrax watch it and he thought it was awesome too...and bought the whole soundtrack about halfway through.

[Wintermute]

"Better than Neil"
is complete win.
