Dr. Horrible!

Okay, Mr Oxymoron here gave me a link a couple of days ago to this www.drhorrible.com . It's a sing-a-long blog posted straight to the internet made during the Writers' Strike by Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer series.)

It stars Neil Patrick Harris (Barney in How I Met Your Mother), Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day. This thingy consists of 3 acts, 1st one released on the 15th July, 2nd one on 17th, and the final one on 19th. They took down everything after 20th July, where they will see the response and will probably make it into a movie/series/whatever if there is a good response. Also, the 3 acts will be available to be bought from iTunes.

It's about this Dr. Horrible aspiring to get into the Evil League of Evil, led by Bad Horse, the thoroughbred of sin. This depicts that sometimes, not all Superheroes or Supervillains are cool (Wait till you see Bad Horse)

Pretty awesome. Many might get bored during the beginning of the 1st act thinking "WTF IS THIS? GIMME BARNEY STINSON AND HIS LEGENDARY STUFF" and whatnot, but listen carefully and it's actually filled with sarcasm and dim-witted humour. And then the good stuff begins, the singing.

Didn't know the Neil Patrick Harris used to be on Broadway singing in Rent. Good voice, reminds me of Princeton's voice in Avenue Q.

All in all a fantastic 40 minute thingy (All 3 acts combined). And being the cheapskate that we all are, I managed to find all 3 acts on another site so I'll embed all below. Enjoy the awesomeness.
