Joss Whedon has done it again. Once more has the mastermind delivered a wonderfully quirky and, sadly, heartbreaking hit that I just can't help but watch again, and again, and again, and again and agai-
Well, you get the idea.
For those of you not yet inducted into the Whedon fan club, Joss is an incredible writer/director with an array of successful and massively popular projects to fill the space under his deserving belt. From Buffy the Vampire Slayer to the excellent though short-lived Firefly, Monsieur Whedon has proven to be a master crafter of both lovable characters and compelling plots which drive fans bonkers time after time. I highly recommend you watch my personal favorite Joss-show, Firefly, a western-set-in-space that will have you hooked from the first episode... As long as you view them in the correct order (To explain would take volumes of painful exposition, just search for a fansite and you'll get the jist of it).
His most recent musical-internet-webisode-project-thingamajig, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, is of particular mention. Following the tale of lovably conflicted Dr. Horrible's quest to be admitted into the Evil League of Evil while attempting to win the heart of the girl of his dreams, Horrible features a plethora of catchy songs (high praise coming from me, I find most musicals to be abhorrent) a knock-out cast, (including Whedon-alumni, Nathan Fillion) superbly executed plot and a surprise ending that will leave your jaw irreversibly locked in the open position.
To be quite honest, I have NEVER seen an internet-based movie produced in, believe it or not, only six days turn out to be so.... amazing!!! If you haven't yet tuned in to Dr. Horrible, I insist, no, I demand that you drop all that you are doing and proceed there at once! The link is posted below.
