- MSF2, on 06/29/2008, -0/+83Not only will this be completely awesome in a way that will define awesomeness for generations to come (only a small exaggeration) but it is a huge step in finding a way to circumvent the studios. That's why it's so important that Dr. Horrible makes money, enough money to make people pay attention. Because this will prove what Joss Whedon and other writers have been saying all along: We don't need the studios. All they do is interfere with creativity, take money from the real creative minds of the writers, and try futilely to stop pirates. Joss is (hopefully) about to prove that he can make a simi-high-budget film, put it up on the internet free for a week, and STILL make money.
I am an amateur filmmaker. I hope one day to be able to make a high-budget film, put it on the internet, and make enough money to keep making them till I'm old, tired, and fat. But amateur filmmakers like me can't do that if the studios control everything, if independent films keep getting swept under the metaphorical carpet as they are now. The studios have all the control right now, which is why there is such a lack of creativity in American movies today, half of which are just sequels or remakes. I say they had their chance, and now it's time to move on.
Like so many of you I will be watching Dr. Horrible for free when it comes out. But please consider buying it once it becomes available, like I will. It's not just about supporting everyone who worked on this project, it's about proving something. Proving that we don't need greedy middle-men who interfere with creativity. Proving that we won't wait for the next writers strike before we see the need for change. Because that's what this is really about, it's about change- our ability to change the industry for the better. It's time the writers got back control of what they've written. Just imagine, if Dr. Horrible succeeds, and is followed by other successful independent films, there won't be a need for a writers strike ever again. - TiaMija, on 06/28/2008, -0/+25We need to make sure everyone sees this comin'!
- Pulledteeth, on 07/16/2008, -0/+21I hate musicals.
I loved this.
Awesome. - floofypooh, on 06/28/2008, -0/+21It's quirky and it's a musical... my favorite things!
- chazman151, on 06/28/2008, -0/+21So very much looking forward to this. Thanks for the linkage.
- Meara282, on 06/28/2008, -0/+19The musical episode was one of my all-time Buffy favorites! Joss Whedon knows how to write a great musical. I can't wait for this!
- WolfeatingRaven, on 06/30/2008, -0/+17can't wait, i mean joss+nathan+neil= legendary!
- discordia7, on 06/28/2008, -0/+17So excited. Can't Speak. Good thing this is typing and not speaking.
- Tal71, on 06/28/2008, -0/+16I can't believe how awesome this is going to be - I'm going to be doing my best to help promote this - there are banners on the official website (as well as the Teaser trailer if you haven't seen it) at www.drhorrible.com
- Diggnabbit, on 06/28/2008, -0/+16Awesome. If anyone can make web distribution work well, it's Whedon.
- Aidje, on 07/16/2008, -0/+15You'll still be able to get it on iTunes. And a DVD will eventually be released. Of course, you could just "get all piratey", which Joss Whedon specifically requested that we *not* do. (And before the piratey bury brigade gets me, remember that we want this to do well *economically* because it's an experiment in the sustainability (read: profitability) of online distribution.)
- FrancesBurney, on 06/28/2008, -0/+15Having seen the teaser, I have to believe this will be quite a show.
- Codex77, on 06/28/2008, -0/+13So excited!!!
- jponah, on 06/28/2008, -0/+13awesome! I can't wait to see it.
- mackil, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12Ok that was just hilarious. I'm not your typical musical fan in the least, but I nearly died laughing watching this. Awesome
- stoweaway, on 06/28/2008, -0/+12Wow! I didn't even realize how excited I was about this project until I saw the trailer. Can't.....wait....much....longer.
- bobbi21, on 07/19/2008, -0/+12Shouldn't this have been on the front page some time? 2200 diggs..
- Trynity978, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12I had so much fun watching this. And it gives me what I was so missing this summer and didn't even know. Brilliant!
- Squidly, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12I loved the iPhone "Horrible Van Remote. " Sweet.
- PooshMoon, on 06/30/2008, -1/+12Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss!

brandi - CypherFTW, on 07/06/2008, -0/+10Legendary!! Nathan Fillion was the balls in Firefly/Serenity and NPH is well...pure Awesome!
- ZMann, on 06/30/2008, -1/+11They're trying to find a home for Dr Horrible on the new TheWB.com...
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=6707969#/gr ... - Cordrone, on 07/14/2008, -0/+9This looks way shiny! I can't wait. HIMYIM meets Firefly (ok not really but still).... that's like chocolate and peanut butter.
- pollyprissyp, on 06/30/2008, -0/+9Can't wait to see this! With Joss (and crew), Nathan and NPH...this is going to be one for the books (if in fact people still read those things...)!
- mawdurnbukanier, on 07/15/2008, -0/+9Dr. Horrible is live, and it rocks!
- sirana, on 07/15/2008, -0/+9This is so incredible awsome, my awsome-meter exploded.
- melanieginnity, on 06/30/2008, -0/+8I have been waiting for more Joss creations. I love the new fan friendly venue and I can't wait. Woo Hoo!!
- apaintedsky, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8Let's say you could make a list of five people, living or dead, you'd like to have lunch with. Or dinner - if they'll spring for the tip. That's a hard list to think of making. But I'm sure of one person that would be on my list: Joss Whedon. Needless to say, when he does something, I'm interested. I'm soooo excited for this. Augh! Snoopy dance time! Tell everyone to digg the site. Digg away, my fiends, and friends, and friendly fiends! I'll be promoting this on my blog.
- riz94107, on 07/11/2008, -0/+8I hate things, but hope to like this a great deal. Looking forward to it!
- Lerah99, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8Joss Whedon, how I love thee!
TV Shows, movies, comic books, musicals....is there anything you can't do?
I am so excited about this! Can't wait!!!! - piperisdown, on 06/30/2008, -0/+8I am sooooo very happy!!!
- BloggerET, on 07/10/2008, -0/+8Good God a'mighty. I think everyone here understands my general feeling on this one. I don't think I could write FRIGGIN' AWESOME enough times... Hmm. New word. Fantasticismastaconinomicon. No. That really doesn't quite do it... Ah. Here... Fantasticismastaconinomicon 3000. That's better. Thank you, Joss. They really can't take the sky from this guy, can they?
- QMaverick, on 07/01/2008, -0/+8This looks pretty sweet! I have to say...and the actors they got are actually pretty good! :-) Well, they're pretty funny at least...
- digitaltodd, on 07/16/2008, -0/+8Way to go! Another score for the Whedon team. Can't wait for the next 2 acts.
- pinguino, on 07/01/2008, -0/+8awesome, can't wait!
- monkeystick, on 07/19/2008, -0/+8just watched act III, mind... blown..
- cosmicjuju, on 07/16/2008, -0/+8Oh yes, oh yes, OH SWEET JESUS, YES! That is so awesome, I am actually in a little pain.
But, baby, it hurts so good. - Sturek, on 07/16/2008, -0/+8Just fantastic.
- davidseligman, on 07/13/2008, -0/+8this is a great idea.
before everyone else says it, YES, I did have this idea like, a million years ago... right after I had the idea then INVENTED the internet. (sorry Joss, just keepin' it real!)
that outta the way: JOSS THIS IS BRILLIANT.
the trailer is fun, cool and funny! the idea, character design & site are simple and great. (less IS more! not just a slogan used more than less.)
as just a regular stiff (so far...) I pledge to do my part to spread the word. seems us web-types, geeky-chicks and flat-out nerds are quite plentiful in today's world, and more so, seems like we've got something to say and some cash to buy stuff with -- so we get people's attention.
I am saying: DEAR SIR, THIS APPEALS TO ME. THANK YOU FOR IT BEING FREE. I CAN'T WAIT TO BUY THIS ITEM. I AM EAGER AND LOOKING FORWARD TO MAKING PURCHASES OF SIMILAR GOODS IN THE FUTURE.
I AM A REAL PERSON not affiliated in anyway (sadly) with any of this beyond my allegiance to good storytelling, witty dialogue and good clean fun (even when dirty).
I hope this helps. I will kudo, digg, spread, and... do whatever else I can with actual talking to actual people upto and beyond the show's release.
I truly can't wait.
sincerely,
a real guy, a filmmaker and a fan,
Dave Seligman - chinomite, on 07/15/2008, -0/+7Classic Joss! Kitty Fantastico!
- rotielover, on 07/17/2008, -0/+7My sister sent me the link and I watched without realizing it was Joss -- until the singing began! I kept thinking "this sounds like Buffy, why does this sound like Buffy?" Then I spotted the Mutant Enemy -- Joy! How can it be so bad and so good at the same time? That my friends is the genius that is Joss!
- FuzzyL0gic, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7Finally! something new from Joss Whedon! I'm already hoping for a sequel (or a TV show maybe?)
- chaser324, on 07/16/2008, -1/+8How can a topic possibly have this many diggs and this many comments and not ever be made popular?
- apurocks, on 07/16/2008, -1/+8pure genius
- salsus, on 07/01/2008, -0/+7what would NPH do!
- AlexShipman, on 07/16/2008, -0/+6Disappointed you omitted Doogie Howser, M.D. in your filmography of Neil Patrick Harris...
- reportingsjr, on 07/15/2008, -0/+6Haha, that was well worth the time it took to watch! Looking forward to the next two acts! :)
Poor Dr. Horrible, if only he could get the girls.. -
