This very odd-looking miniseries may be the dumbest thing Joss Whedon has ever been involved in - and that's saying something. I mean that as a compliment. Whedon has a talent for making things work that just rightly shouldn't.
Teaser from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog on Vimeo.
The first section goes live tomorrow (July 15th 2008), and the whole thing is only up on the web for a week. View it this week, or not at all. (Well, I expect it may one day come out on DVD.)
I'm specifically pimping this show because I want to support Whedon's attempt at creating a new market for series projects outside of the Hollywood & Network machine. I'm not sure exactly how a free program on the web for less than a week will do that, but I'm willing to give him a chance. Besides, I'm secretly hoping that we'll get to see Mal kick Doogie Howzers ass.

That looks entertaining I will have to check it out.
Turns out it's way shorter than I expected it to be. The site described it as a "miniseries" whereas they should have called it a "miniminiseries". I was expecting something at least feature length, and instead the whole darned thing will be about the duration of a single primetime episode.
Still, it's lots of fun, and it's hard to beat free. Truth be told, I was surprised how much character development was packed into the first 13.x-minute episode.
