Anyone like Joss Whedon, particularly 'Once More With Feeling'?

If so you might be interested in watching his latest musical offering. Dr Horrible's sing-a-long Blog will be posted in three parts, on the 15,16,17 of this month on the website drhorrible.com/. It will only be up until Sunday night though, so catch it whilst it's there. It looks really good (there's a trailer on the site atm) and it stars the rather wonderful Nathan Fillion

Watch it and make Joss happy!

Oh god, Flame that link just reminded me that Giles is in another musical thingy coming out. It's not something that I would have posted on MN otherwise but watch the trailer for Repo Man Generic Opera ASH is very good, but you have to watch a bit before he comes on

I'm unfeasably excited by this too, but then I'm a sick puppy who has a bit of a crush on Marilyn Manson

Yes it does, doesn't it Only going to be a limited theatrical release, so might have to trek up to the West End but I can live with that (at least it's likely to be 'doable' in London)

I'd actually be happy to do that if anyone was interested - don't think DH will really be bothered, although my sister might. I'll go on my own if it comes down to it though.

I should read what is in my profile shouldn't I? He has amazing shoulders though!

Flamesparrow · 14/07/2008 14:34

I know my DH won't be interested - my sister might, but unlikely. Would have to work out if I can justify a trek to London though!

He's got quite buff lately yes (there's a YouTube vid of him doing pushups and he has huge muscles ) But Dean.....he has those eyes, and the attitude, and that smirk

See, we're the ideal couple One each!

Been watching season 2 of dark angel at the weekend though (first 4 eps) and he is Exactly The Same character! Just moves faster he even stole a similar car!

Dark Angel is pretty fab, and you get to see him on a motorbike at some stage in S2 which makes me quite happy too. I'm so easily pleased.... Michael Weatherley (Logan) is quite easy on the eyes as well

slayerette · 14/07/2008 17:30

Ooooh - I have the OMWF album too! I also know all the words and was singing along happily to youknownothingofthecrunch's new lyrics as well

How wonderful is the actor playing Sweet? Best guest star ever on Buffy imo.

Fanella · 14/07/2008 17:51

Looked at the link now - and I'm excited!

I'm also liking the look of the Repo opera thingy. On my way out so I can't look in detail but thanks serenity for posting both links.

youknownothingofthecrunch - that was really inspired!

NotQuiteCockney · 15/07/2008 06:51

Arse, can't view it outside the US.

Fanella · 15/07/2008 08:58

no!

Fanella · 15/07/2008 08:58

Ah, wait, got this message on FB (as I joined their group):

International Viewing
Today at 5:43am

We're working on it. We can't get it everywhere immediately. The living room launch process has certain drawbacks. You're not being ignored.

Hoping for a quick resolution...

Doctors Horrible

So they're trying.

I'm sure it'll be on bittorrent by noon, anyway.

Fanella · 15/07/2008 09:01

ah, will join the FB group too. thanks NQC.

fishie · 15/07/2008 09:26

Message from Joss....

Dear... I want to say friends...

I Can't tell you what a thrill it was for me and Jed and Zack and Maurissa to gather round the comp-fire and await the launch of our musical... and find out it wasn't playing in many many places. And get slammed. And slammed. Yay team! Team of slamming!

The fact is, we're dealing with big companies that have moved more quickly on this venture than they've ever had to. We've always been clear about getting this out to everyone, but that just isn't as simple as we'd like. (At the last minute we found out about a Canadian restriction involving it having to be in French simultaneously...) We (well, mostly Jed) have worked to the point of delirium getting this out to you guys, and yeah, we're experiencing technical difficulties. Bear with us. We're (well, mostly Jed) trying to make this work for everyone as soon as we can. It's not thoughtlessness, or jingoism, corporate evil or scurvy. It's just new. We'll get you there.

For those of you who HAVE seen it, isn't it dreamy? Thank you for all your comments. They buoyed us much. Sadly, we really just phoned in the next two eps, so it's all downhill. Jestage!
And now, I fly! (Coach.) xoxo -j.

It seems to be getting good reactions from those who have seen it!
