Dr. Horrible's sing-along blog act I

  REVIEW ACT I

April has guided me towards this little side project that Mr. Whedon is working on in the new medium of Webisodes! (I'm glad that they have not region restricted this as so many other webisodes have done in the past, the most notable is the office: accountants which fell in between season 2 and 3, thankfully it was released on the season 2 dvd as extras!)

It is SO important for the Villain to have their laugh down pat!! Look at the greatest villains of our times have the greatest laughs, your level of evilness is measured by your evil laughs and as a treat here is Mr. Sidhom's top 5 all time evil laughs in the history of villainy:

5. Jim "the Anvil" Neighthart (WWF): This 350 pound behemoth was one half of the Hart Foundation and had a wicked laugh that would strike fear into the hearts of his opponents!

4. The Riddler played by the Late Frank Gorshin (Batman 1966): The original Riddler was cunning with his conundrums that would attempt to out wit the dynamic duo, but what made him truly dangerous was the fits of giggles that would bring you shivers down your spine!

3. The Joker voiced by Mark Hamill (Batman the Animated Series): The Joker has one of the greatest villain laughs in the history of all villainy, and everyone who has played the Joker has had their own interpretation of the famous laugh, none better than Mark Hamill (Yes Luke Skywalker Mark Hamill) he had the ultimate in Joker laughs and was thought to never to be topped. (until our Number 1)

2. The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase (WWF): As soon as his music hits the familiar laugh of "BWAHAHAHAAA" hits you know that Everybody gotta pay The Million Dollar Man! His arrogant million dollar persona was matched by the greatest laugh in wrestling history! Many try to imitate it but all have failed! Check out what money buys! and His challenges are priceless (as his son would say!)

1. The Joker played by the Late Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight): It's not out yet (one more sleep) but not only does he look phenomenal but the laugh, oh the laugh it is the most evil and powerful depiction I have ever heard of any villain!!!! from now on when I read the Joker I will hear Heath's laugh ringing in my head!!!!!

 

Now Dr. Horrible (played by the always entertaining Neil Patrick Harris!)needs to learn from these 5 examples to make sure he gets it down pat, his is good but needs work! A letter of condemnation from the "Deputy Mayor" Gold, speaking of Gold I hate it when the molecules shift in transportation with my gold bars! He has a goal to destroy the status quo and he needs to rule the world like all great evil genius Can't wait to see the freeze ray that stops time!

Every evil genius has a nemesis his happens to be "Captain Hammer" (corporate tool! look out Booster Gold!!!!) Dr. Horrible is trying to be the change in the world that he wants to be!

Even mad scientists need to do the laundry! Now this is a catchy song (sounds great in surround sound). It articulates exactly how a man feels when he sees the beauty that steals his heart. (where do I get one of those freeze rays?) Hey it's Simon Helberg aka Howard from the very funny show "The big bang theory!!!" Love the villain names double dating with "bait and switch", classic! The bad horse has sent in a letter telling him know that an big evil plan to steal the wonderfludium he needs! where the league of evil people will let him know if he is in or not! (love the soggy hands power!)

Bad timing to run into the girl of his dreams in the middle of a heist! She is a good soul who is wanting to save a homeless shelter! (what to do? get into the league or use this opportunity to connect with the girl of his dreams?)  It's a wonderful feeling to have a connection with someone! but his work comes through! Here comes Captain Hammer collateral damage is ok I guess and he gets the girl even though he was the one who put her in danger to begin with! It's not right I tell you, He is a glory hound and also reckless as a superhero, a true hero doesn't do it to thump the villain or the adulation of the situation and definitely not to impress a girl! And what did he ultimately achieve? NOTHING as Dr. Horrible got away with what he needed anyway!!!!

This my friends is 13 minutes of brilliance! I can not wait for the second act!!!!!!!!
