Ok, I renewed my Netflix account for the winter and to catch up on some stuff I had not seen yet. While browsing around, I stumbled across this 2008 item, starring Neal Patrick Harris and directed by ...wait for it....Joss Whedon.
It is just a short little 43 minute film, and I am thinking it might be fun to have a look at. I was wondering if anyone had run across this before now?


"When he's not busy breaking the law or trying to get close to his secret crush, Penny (Felicia Day), supervillain wannabe Dr. Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris) boasts about his exploits via his Internet video blog and dreams of defeating his nemesis, Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion). Conceived during the 2008 Hollywood writers' strike, Joss Whedon's quirky musical comedy originally debuted as an online miniseries."

Whoo hoo! Someone who lives in a darker cave than I do!

Just teasin' :D

It made quite the stir on the Interwebs when it came out. I think you can still see it for free on the website.

Its on Hulu. I love it, pretty genius.

Oh no Bylimet, I thought I posted on here somewhere about that already. Its pretty epic.

Joss went on the live-to-theaters episode of This American Life where he actually talked about how in the bonus featured of the DVD there is the directors commentary which is also done in a musical format ... so re-watching it with the comments would be like a second musical track to compliment the first.

Absolute good stuff!!

It was actually made during the strike and they all did it for the hell of it. I absolutely loved it but then again im a loyal Jossite.

At one point they took it off the site due to the DVD being released, don't know if thats still the case.

Dr Horrible is the shizzle.

Thanks, I wilkl check it out there.

And thanks all. Weird I missed this when it was talked about before. :confused:

Like I said, get the DVD for a weekend from Netflix - the bonus features are worth it :)

I can do that. :)

It was all about the commentary.

The lyrics were sooooo funny, and yet subtle enough that you really had to be listening. I had a bit of a coughing fit during the "Asian girl" part, along with a few others.

Glad you liked it!
