Ahaha, I watched the first one and LOVED it. Great find! I loves me some Neil Patrick Harris.

EDIT: Shut up, Sano, this is fantastic.

Just finished the second. Thanks for capping off my night with something like this.

The first song in the second video was amazingly well-done!

Also...

I watched the first one. I'll watch more sometime later.

I'll admit, in the beginning, I thought this was gonna blow. I was tempted to close the window. Thankfully I didn't, I would've missed a good video. I liked the freeze ray song.

The production value here is classy.

I like, I like.
Always have liked evil scientist sort of things.

I loved the entire thing, great stuff. It's a shame it's not online anymore, since I didn't have time to watch them all-three back-to-back in a sort of personal finale. I only had time to watch Act 3 one and only once, and I was partially distracted during it.

I downloaded them all and I rewatched the whole thing a few times throughout the day (I've had nothing to do all day so I figured I might as well).

It's really amazing every time you watch it.

A great reminder of why I don't read fanfiction.

I almost think that was meant more to be a joke, but then again, I'm probably wrong. Which is sad.

I just can't get into this.

I really tried, and the concept seems solid enough...

I blame Joss Whedon. I haven't liked a single thing he's done.

Something about the b-rate camp that his work always seems to accidentally become.


Title: Re: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
Post by: Chron on 23 July 2008, 15:24:30
... isn't it supposed to be b-rate campy stuff?
I mean, if Buffy the Vampire Slayer isn't supposed to be that...
... what was he trying to do?


Title: Re: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
Post by: Edgecrusher on 23 July 2008, 15:52:31
That was really more of a generalization of his other work

and while I realize that this is intentionally campy, it reminds me too much of his other accidental attempts.

*shrugs* Never have seen any of his other stuff. At least not to my knowledge.
I will give you that this is sort of stupid, but I do enjoy the mad scientist bits.

I've personally never watched any of his other stuff, of which I only know Buffy and Firefly.

I think it was entertaining enough.

I dislike how Joss Whedon does the over camp stuff but I liked Buffy and liked Angel even more. Never got into Firefly or Serenity or whatever, though it seemed OK.

The Buffy season 8 comic starts off really well, and feels just like the show (you can pretty much hear them saying this stuff) but lately... not so much. I haven't read the Angel comics, which are the same idea of continuing from the end of the show.

Firefly and Serenity are like rectal larvae.

The movie was crap. Only good part was when that douche got impaled near the end of the movie, I smiled when that happened.

Liquid awesome, with bathroom breaks.

I enjoyed it, a shame others can't.

Whenever WIND smiles, a puppy dies.

I love myself some good Firefly. Only good sci-fi there was ever since Babylon 5 ended.

And Dr. Horrible is brilliant, but then I also loved the Buffy musical episode.

I love Firefly and Serenity to pieces...but what I love more is Joss' anti-Fox stance that he had for years.

After they screwed over Firefly, he swore that he'd never work with Fox again, none of his work would ever appear on a Fox network, blah blah blah and so on.

So yeah, get ready to watch "Dollhouse" this fall on FOX.
