Meet Dr. Horrible; sing along with me

Note: Usually I try to stay away from non-gaming related stuff on a gaming blog, however as a geek I felt I couldn't pass up an opportunity to let you see this, this is awesome!

Let me preface this whole thing by saying: I've NEVER watched any movies twice except those in the Original Star Trek Series of movies and Joss Whedon's Serenity.

Perhaps that's why it surprises myself that I cannot stop watching Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog since I originally downloaded it to iTunes. Like all Joss Whedon stuff, the material has it's heart in the right place with an interesting premise. And like Serenity the writing is excellent.

What really grabs me about this 42 minute production is that while it's funny at moments, the characters are not necessarily interesting, but they are out-there enough and weird enough that you keep watching just to see what they'll do. More so than that, the singing is actually REALLY good and it's not just tacked on, it feels like a geeky musical, which is refreshing and welcome in today's boring world of television.

I've attached a preview below, if you like what you see CLICK HERE to see the entire 42 minute sing-along for free. I cannot recommend this enough, I hope you enjoy it.

I'm not sure if molesting monkeys is ever the answer.  Still, the video was quite enjoyable, especially the last act.

That song is actually really catchy, I haven't watched the entire thing yet, but seems to have a lot of heart.
