A Fantastic Ph.D In Horribleness

Brief update today.  I, being a Whedon-flunkie, just got around to watching Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog.  Can I just say that I absolutely loved it?  Of course, given my Buffy and Dollhouse obsessions, this "crazy, random happenstance" surprises no one.  Although, as clever as the web marketing, superhero musical, writer strike/innovation combo is, that is not the single thing that impressed me the most.

The bonus features on this DVD are why I must own it asap.  The ten application to the Evil League of Evil are hilarious and give me one of my new favorite catch-phrases (from Princess Zombie):  "I learned that there was a Zombie King and I may be evil, but I'm not going to sleep my way to the top."  They're all pretty funny, but I have a special love of Princess Zombie, The Preacher, and a special shout-out to Broadway Dork for being a for-real Youtube video-maker who can make fun of her self.

Lastly, the track called Commentary! The Musical plays the movie with all of the principal film-makers, writers, and actors in the same room, singing commentary about the movie, each other, and life.  I want the soundtrack to the commentary possibly more than to the actual web series itself.  It's hilarious, and anyone who appreciates the movie, metafiction, Joss Whedon, or gratuitous contemporary musical theatre must check that track out.

Suffice it to say, I've seen this movie four times in the last 24 hours.  And I Can Hardly Believe My Eyes...I love it.
