Title: Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog - Free Viewing Ends @ midnight July 20th
Post by: Jasyn on July 18, 2008, 11:56:51 PM
Hey gang!  Tock over at the Vagabond Knights (http://vagabondknights.guildportal.com/Guild.aspx?GuildID=31547&TabID=282379&ForumID=159862&TopicID=7223894) forums brought this nifty little gem to everyone's attention, and I thought there might be some interest here on the Saga boards too, so I thought I'd share and help spread the word.

Joss Whedon (and other assorted Whedons) and friends put a little project together during the writer's strike called Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog.  The 3rd and final act has just recently been made available not too long before this posting.

QuoteThe story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to. Featuring Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible, Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer, Felicia Day as Penny and a cast of dozens. Written by Joss Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, Jed Whedon, and Zack Whedon. Directed by Joss Whedon. Produced by David Burns, Michael Boretz, and Joss Whedon. Music by Joss Whedon and Jed Whedon. Lyrics by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, and Maurissa Tancharoen. Score and Orchestration by Jed Whedon.

Apparantly all three acts will be free to view online until midnight July 20th and will then go the pay-to-download route and eventually a DVD release so folks can get paid.  So if you're reading this message today (Saturday) check this out QUICK because it will vanish by day's end (midnight Eastern, I presume?) until the pay releases are eventually made available!

It has Felicia Day in it from The Guild!  Anyway, worth the watch.  And who knew Doogie Howser could sing?

After I watched Act I, I started getting that error for a while too and assumed that they'd taken stuff down to load up Act 3.  Maybe that wasn't the case and the video stream was being throttled due to traffic.  I dunno.  It cleared up after a while, though (appears to be fine right at this moment), so I can only suggest trying again later if you can.

Yeah!  Singing Doogie!  My jaw dropped!  Felicia Day has a nice singing voice too!  I kept waiting for her to drop a cheeto in someone's laundry during the laundromat scenes though (she was in one of those recent Orange Underground Cheetos commercials if you remember the one).  Hehe!

I have fast become a fan of the whole "guild" crew. I am a fan of Joss Whedon, who gave me Firefly, my fave TV show ever, hands down. I am a fan of Doogie. I am a huge Nathon Filion fan. They all sing? It's a musical? Sign me up!

Actually I found thsi a while back, but was on the road and not able to come here and drop a post, so glad someone did! This is great stuff. I wish this kind of crativity were more common in entertainment eh?

For anyone in the LA area, many of the cast members of The Guild are part of an improv comedy sketch group. I was not able to go check it out down there, but it's a small non hollywood theatre thing, and cheap.
