Dr. Horrible's sing along blog act III

Fresh off the net, here we go for the big finale!

Captain Hammer gets more than just penny with the homeless shelter, he gets his dedication and statue "I want to be an example, you know, for children and stuff" really prophetic stuff there captain! So would your fans be known as hammerettes? I love the fact that they collect everything hammer related including his dry cleaning bill (4 sweaters). Penny is waiting in the dry cleaning with 2 yogurts and she is not waiting for hammer. I think that she is conflicted due to the fact that she sees him as the jerk he is but at the same time he was able to provide the thing she needed to make this world a better place. (he might sleep with the same girl twice is this guy a jerk or what?) The Bad Doctor is planning his revenge on the corporate tool! he has converted his stun ray into a death ray! A hero is not one who does something for the glory, he does it because it is right! Hammer is an arrogant self centered man. "I hate the homeless (pause) ness problem that plagues the city" priceless!

Did he just compare the homeless to a dog? He just told the world he slept with his girlfriend, I'm sure she will appreciate it! (it's not enough to bash in heads, you have to bash in minds!) He has the whole city eating out of his hand but it seems that Penny has seen what this jerk is really is and has walked out on him in the middle of his self centered speech! YES go DOCTOR! and you got the Laugh right! (those vocal lessons really pay off!) Harris is phenomenal in this scene, he got the freeze ray working now it is time to put us all out of our misery.

Whoa I didn't see that coming, WHAT A TWIST! not only has the true colour of hammer has been shown to the world. A sniveling and conniving little weasel. The evil league of evil is finally shown and even though Dr. Horrible got everything he wanted he lost everything he needed!

If you get a chance check out the names of the members of the evil league of evil. (fake thomas jefferson!)

A superb series that continued to build and build to a shocking conclusion you have one day to see it in it's entirety before it is gone. So go and see it at http://www.drhorrible.com

and when it comes out buy this little gem on DVD!

Dr. Horrible's sing-along blog act II

Only two short days ago I saw an original, funny and clever webisode and it is now time for act II

Poor Doc Horrible, how low does he feel at this stage? His one true love has been taken by the corporate tool! and the Evil inside of him is rising!!!

Hammer and Penny are hanging out at the homeless shelter and she can not be happier (although the captain is putting on a brave face!) The melody is wonderful how the conflicting emotions intertwined between Horrible and Penny it was wonderfully done!

Thanks to the running in to her and signing the petition "Billy" (Doc H) has been able to chat with penny, nice move with the yogurt mate! but what is the 3rd level all about? and how could you lead her to have another date with the Captain?

YES! The freeze ray is ready, it's getting to him the double edged sword. The power of the internet got him in trouble as he didn't figure that Captain Hammer was a regular viewer of his blog! he'll get into the league yet because he has a PHD in horrorbleness!

He is getting closer to penny without realizing it, just being himself there is a real connection there but, enter Mr. Cheesy on the outside, who is too vain to recognise the bad doctor or was he? He manipulated the mayor to sign over the building for penny and as she is celebrating he reveals his true colours. It is all about Hammer getting what he wants and he wants Horrible to suffer, he knows that he has affection for penny and as a typical chauvinistic pig (never thought I'd blog those words) he is smooth in front of the ladies and will do what he can to show her romance but his ultimate goal is to get into her pants!

This has woken up the beast inside of Dr. Horrible and now he has a drive to assassinate the Hammer and get his spot in the evil league of evil. (Why is it that every villain thinks they can hand over Australia as a gift once they take over the world?) Love the Rock Ballad! best song so far (in my humble opinion!) and an awesome setup for part 3!

another 10/10!

Make sure you catch this before it goes down on the 20th for comic con, miss it then unless they stuff up act III (which I don't think they will) then get it on DVD when it comes out!

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!!!!!!!!

See it at http://drhorrible.com

then see it over again and again!!!!!!

10/10 (and I don't give tens out lightly!!!!)
