What I Watched -- Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is certainly...something.  It's another Joss Whedon production (yes, the same Joss Whedon of Buffy, Firefly, and Dollhouse fame).  Dr. Horrible stars Neil Patrick Harris as the title character, but it is not with Whedon's fave actor (and perennial cutie) Nathan Fillion, who plays Dr. Horrible's nemesis.  (As an aside, he has a more recent movie out called The Cabin in the Woods which I know nothing about, but I've heard you should keep it that way because pretty much anything you hear would be a spoiler.  So it exists, and from what I can tell, it's super weird.  That's all.)

Back to Dr. Horrible.  It's a short series, only three episodes, each about 15 minutes long.  They're all on YouTube for your viewing pleasure: Act 1; Act 2; Act 3.  There's also a full version, but somehow the punctuated acts seem more appropriate to the "sing-along blog" format.

And that's exactly what it is: an online, tongue-in-cheek sing-along!  It's wacky and fabulous and dumb.  And hilarious.
