Not a Complete Waste

At least one good thing came out of writers' strike earlier this year: one of my favorite writers, Joss Whedon (Toy Story, Titan A.E., Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, etc.) couldn't help himself and produced a short movie for the internet.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is web-based show on the internet this week and this week only (it'll be available on DVD later). It stars Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, and Felicia Day in three acts, the third of which airs on Saturday. Typical of Joss Whedon productions, it's funny and quirky – it's a web-based supervillain musical – but after watching two-thirds of it, it's better than most of the stuff on TV.

Dr. Horrible is only available for free until July 20.
