Three weeks ago a friend introduced me to one of the most amazing things on the internet. No, not blogging, not even a website for science jokes, but a video. Normally I don’t watch videos friends suggest on the internet especially if they are 42 min long. But I am so glad that I saw Dr. Horrible’s sing along blog. It is possibly the most amazing thing I have seen.
I love villains (ever since I saw Lion King in theaters) and this little film about a supervillain makes my day. Dr. Horrible is just the right mixture of sweet and evilness that keeps the film from being too sappy. This film has a bit of bite in it, but I think it’s something worth seeing at least once if you haven’t.
It reminds me of my WIP (or my work in progress) that I am going to set out to publishers in about a month, only my main character isn’t a villain (so far). I love comic book cliches, and more importantly making fun of them. Perhaps I’ll put one of my favorite scenes here for people to read, if there seems to be any interest.

Dr. Horrible is great. They’ll be releasing the DVD soon, which I’ll totally be getting. What I especially like is just that it was such a breakout hit in a realm that’s still just starting: online media and series.

I’d be curious to know your favorite scenes, too!
