What’s this about? Oh, it’s about so many things, but I’ll let a nice and respectable paper summarize it for the uninitiated:
“Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog” is the creation of Joss Whedon, one of the best-known scribes in Hollywood, thanks to his long filmography of genre-bending TV hits: “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,””Firefly” (which inspired the film “Serenity”), “Angel” and the upcoming Fox series “Dollhouse.”
[ . . . ]
The series stars Neil Patrick Harris (“How I Met Your Mother”) as Dr. Horrible, a wannabe mad scientist who blogs about his unrealized dreams for world domination and his refused entry into to “Evil League of Evil.” For example, he’s working with a vocal coach on his maniacal laugh.
He’s an evildoer who’s just not very good at doing evil.
Plus, he sings.
Really. Check it out.
