The status is not quo! The world is a mess and I need to rule it.
Dr. Horrible
Thanks to Jeremy Daum for pointing this out. Click on the pic or look for it on hulu.com. I haven’t watched it all the way through yet. I’m saving it to do so with lovely wife. It looks like fun.
Wiki says this about it:
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is a 43-minute musical film produced exclusively for Internet distribution. It tells the story of Dr. Horrible, the aspiring supervillain alter ego of Billy; Captain Hammer, his nemesis; and Penny, their mutual love interest. The movie was written by writer/director Joss Whedon, his brothers Zack Whedon (a television writer) and Jed Whedon (a composer), and Jed’s fiancée, actress Maurissa Tancharoen. The writing team penned the musical during the WGA writers’ strike. The idea was to create something small and inexpensive, yet professionally done, in a way that would circumvent the issues that were being protested during the strike. On October 31, 2008, Time Magazine named it #15 in Time’s Top 50 Inventions of 2008.
While I’m at it, I might as well pass on this hilarious video version of Get Your War On that Jeremy also showed me.
