Joss Whedon, This Time I Applaud You.

So, I've never been a real fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or the similar works of Joss Whedon. I'd catch an episode or two of his shows but, never quite caught on with me. However, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is the most amazing thing in my life right now. Everyone on the theatre message boards had been talking about it but, the episodes had yet to debut so I forgot. My sister identifies as a Toy Soldier for Dr. Steel, who claimed that Dr. Horrible was a cheap ripoff of him. But that's another story entirely. The point is, Dr. Steel's rants reminded us to watch Dr. Horrible and we did!

Basically, it's the greatest thing in the world. I believe I said that already. Neil Patrick Harris stars as Dr. Horrible/Billy, a guy who dreams of being an evil villian. His nemesis is Captain Hammer and they both just happen to like the same girl. Ay de mi, what are they to do? It's a musical and the songs are really catchy and great, for lack of better words. I'd go into more detail but the songs don't even have names yet.... But, the first episode starts with "Laundry Day" which is a cute little song that'll suck you in really fast. The theme music entertains me too. I'm just in love with the whole show... if you can't tell.

I told my mom about it, and usually she spaces out when I talk about theatre. She could care less. But I'm smart, I know how to suck her in too. I mentioned the amazingly talented NPH and she definitely wants to watch the show and listen to the music and whatnot. Which, speaking of, the episodes were only up for three days but now you can watch it on MySpace here.

The CD is apparently coming out in about two weeks. It'll definitely be on iTunes. I'm not sure if a CD is included in that "two weeks". Probably not. I wish. I hope. I'm an old fashioned kinda chick. Or as old fashion as CDs get. I like to be able to hold my music. Besides, I don't have iTunes. I'm so behind the times.

So, my point is GO CHECK OUT DR. HORRIBLE. You'll love it!

PS- The Jonas Brothers concert was this past Saturday. I did not corrupt Sideburns. Which is probably for the better. I'd have a whole community of J-Bro fans hating on me. Not to mention I'd probably finalize my ticket to hell.
