Dr Horrible's Sing-along-blog

I was watching the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson last night (the best late night show, in my opinion) and he had Nathan Fillion, a hero to us Firefly fans, on the program. He was talking about this little internet show he had done. During the writer's strike Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly) called him and asked if he'd be interested in doing this little internet program with Neil Patrick Harris. They'd have no producers, no distribution, just have fun filming it.

So they put it together and its this musical sort of video blog cataloging the story of this evil genius, Dr Horrible (played by Neil Patrick Harris) who is trying to get into an exclusive bad guy society. During the course of it he falls in love with a homeless advocate, but is trumped when his nemesis, Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion) sort of saves her and starts dating her. Captain Hammer is a complete jerk and is only taking the girl to hurt Dr Horrible. Through the story they battle each other and break into hilarious song routines. If you have 45 minutes to spare, check it out at drhorrible.com.
