Dr. Horrible

So I went looking for more free content to occupy me during the 'Nocturnal' hiatus and stumbled into Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog at the following link:

http://www.drhorrible.com/

While it was meant to be shown for a three day period in mid July and then disappear forever, it became wildly popular with the online community, thus it is back up courtesy of Hulu for your free consumption.  The brainchild of Joss Weadon, it has witty writing and a small but brilliant cast.  If you haven't already.....Check it out!

Worth seeing

 This is defently worth seeing and the best internet musical to boot.

Streamy Awards

Gmork's picture

Dr Horrible swept several categories at the 1st annual Streamy Awards.  The Streamys were designed to recognize outstanding achievement for shows produced originally for broadband distribution.

Although it was broadcast live over the internet last night, their site doesn't show the winners (yet) but you can glean how well represented Dr Horrible was but the list of nominees. Also, 12seconds.tv has video of the winners and some of the broadcast (in 12 second clips -- thus the name of the site) at this link. Joss Whedon, Felicia Day and Neil Patrick Harris were all in attendance.

You WILL be addicted and find yourself quoting these episodes at school, work, and in your sleep.

I've watched it again:

JP's picture
all three episodes four times in the last week. They boy is hooked and keeps saying "again" verbally and in sign language. Good boy. I've finally succumbed and downloaded the soundtrack to he can hear it in the car too. (Oh, the sacrifices...)

 

- "Hey, I'll teach you to laugh at something funny!" -Homer Simpson (Angry and strangling Bart for laughing at him.)


It is too true

Shadygirl's picture
On the way home from the airport, JP played the soundtrack. Every time a song would end, all you would hear from the back seat was "again, again, again".

That must be so cute... to see him asking "again, again!"Laughing

It's hilarious!

Shadygirl's picture
He says it and signs it at the same time. You will hear it rapid fire over and over for more Dr. Horrible.

One of my nephews first words were Zim... My plan worked, I don't have to babysit very often anymore..

 

In the immortal words of Socrates "I Drank What?!"


I've only watched it 3 times

DedSysOp's picture

Once in late Aug. at a pool party. (I was too drunk to follow it)

Once a couple of days later, cuz I kept singing "A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do.." and I couldn't figure out why.

Once a couple of weeks ago when I had a friend tied to a chair I forced her to watch it because I knew she would like it but wouldn't watch it unless forced.

But I have purchased the soundtrack and have been known to sing along with it at a volume which people in other cars can hear.

 

In the immortal words of Socrates "I Drank What?!"


Funny thing...

Gmork's picture
I was looking for a post Halloween avatar and cycled through a bunch of Dr Horrible ones... and while I didn't settle on one, it did make me go back and watch the first episode so I could sing..."Laundry Day...."

OK, what do you think?

JP's picture
While Shadygirl's been away for the last week, I've been teaching the boy how to do the evil laugh. He laughs now when I show him the opening of Act 1. So, it's coming along...

Chicken or Egg w/the laugh?

sadock's picture

not that it really matters....

http://www.playingforkeepsnovel.com/podpress_trac/web/43/0/pfk_sotw_ep05...

but I was listening to the stuff Mur put out w/the Playing for Keeps release. I totally spaced that Chritiana Ellis had done a very intricate voice parody about the villain laugh roughly concurrent with Dr. Horrible.

Lyrics & Soundtrack

Gmork's picture

For you über-fans of Dr. Horrible, the soundtrack is now for sale on iTunes.  There's a link on the website: http://www.drhorrible.com/

Also, lyrics are available: http://www.drhorrible.com/linernotes.html

 

Support independent artists...buy the soundtrack and sing at the top of your lungs!


Heh.

sadock's picture

I actually started a thread about the soundtrack, but it never took off. <sigh> I did think it was totally weak that they wanted $10 for the soundtrack when the season pass was only $4. Pretty sure that's an Apple thing, not a Joss thing though.

Probably so..

Gmork's picture

Yup, not sure why the price was so high.  I actually ripped my own version of the soundtrack from the video and included bits of the dialogue in it, but I bought the soundtrack anyway in support of their effort.  And BTW the quality on the soundtrack is excellent, Almost as if they re-recorded.

Hey Jam!

Scroll down to August 6th... you still owe Gmork some feedback, good sir!

 

- "I don't have time for a grudge match with every poser in a parka." -Dr. Horrible


noticed this today

gmanvsfreeman's picture

but Joss Wheadon directed an episode of the Office and I was wondering if he directed all the episodes or just that one.

G-Man

Nine million terrorists in the world I gotta kill one with smaller feet than my sister. - John McClane


2 episodes

Gmork's picture

IMDB has Joss Whedon credited with two episodes in 2007:

  • "Branch Wars" - Season 4 Episode 6 and
  • "Business School" - Season 3 Episode 16

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0923736/

 


His work on business school is really obvious

Not enough, I say! Need more!

Ditto!

Gmork's picture

At a Comic Con panel, Joss Wheadon alluded to possible follow ups but there werent any specifics *sigh* ... ine can only cross their fingers!


At a minimum,

JP's picture
we know we'll get a musical commentary on the DVD when it's released. No specifics? He's going all JJ Abrams on us...

You must die now. Joss is nothing like Abrams. Prepare to be annihilated.
