Joss Whedon's "Doctor Horrible" Set To Launch
Ololiuhqui writes "During the writer's strike, Joss Whedon came up with a musical idea. Now his diabolical plan is about to be unleashed in the form of a streaming-only release, with a DVD shortly to follow. The three-part Doctor Horrible series stars Neil Patrick Harris as the eponymous doctor, Felicia Day as the woman of his dreams, and Nathan Fillion as the doctor's nemesis, Captain Hammer. Reportedly made for 'less than six figures,' the series has already received rave reviews and will no doubt showcase Whedon's musical facility, as well as his proven ability to squeeze the most out of a budget."
WTF? US viewers only?
It's called the WORLD wide web, not the fucking US-wide web.
What possible reason could there be for not showing it elsewhere? What evil could I possibly get up to with a (free to watch) movie clip?
Ridiculous.

I'm stunned. I thought the era of evil foreigners was long over (well, online evil foreigners that is).
oh well. I'll wait for a pirate to break the law to let me watch a free internet video. What a strange world.

Yeah, that doesn't work either. It calls up the Dr. Horrible page where you can 'download all episodes' for 'free' but when you select that, it fails with an unspecified error. It does (helpfully) give you the option of downloading it for $1.99.
Um, I don't think so. Everyone in the states gets it for free and fuck the rest of the world? I don't think so.
Fail.
I was like 10 when that show came out, and I'm 22 now. I didn't give a shit about tits then dude, it was a good sci-fi show about battling demons and vampires, that mixed-in some good non-vampire story elements.
You really can't find too many shows where the title character isn't attractive. If the story was shit, no amount of T and A would have kept it going for like 7 seasons.
Uh, he starred in Serenity the movie which was after Firefly.
He starred in Drive, by Joss Whedon.
He knows it's the shithead Fox execs that are the problem, not Joss.

Personally I thought Willow was much hotter than Buffy, especially in the early seasons when Willow was the nerdy high-school girl.
Hail Eris, full of mischief...
