I've never been very good at catching the latest fad or trend right off the bat. I totally missed the Skechers shoe craze, I was late joining the boy band party (and I didn't stay very long), and I've refused to get on the Facebook boat with everyone else. So, needless to say, I usually ignore a lot of the fads and trends of the day. But one such viral outbreak I have to say that I'm ashamed to have missed because of its pure horribleness is Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.Starring Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible with Felicia Day (of The Guild fame) and Nathan Fillion and written by the Whedon brothers. This musical tragicomedy short film was written during the WGA's writers' strike and was designed to be low budget but of professional quality. Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog follows Billy, aka Dr. Horrible, as he attempts to impress Bad Horse, the leader of the Evil League of Evil. Billy also has a crush on Penny who he inadvertently match makes with his arch-nemesis, Captain Hammer. What ensues is a funny and geektastic musical that tugs at the heart strings of all wannabe villains.
I can't believe I almost missed this little Internet gem, luckily Netflix recommended it and I was able to hop on the Dr. Horrible boat, even if I was a little late.
