Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

There is a movie that I just heard about that is from Joss Whedon and family that I am head over heals for.  It's called Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog which stars Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible and Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer.

OMG it is so good.  It's basically a 42 minute musical (as by the title) comedy all about Dr. Horrible sitting in front of his computer doing video blogs and he tries to rule the city while Captain Hammer always tries to save the day.  But Captain Hammer is a pompous prick.

Normally you would root for the good guy but in this movie the good guy is a douche and you root for the bad guy instead because even though he is evil to the core, he's still a sweet lovable guy who just wants to get the girl (gag).

Let's face it, Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion are perfect for these roles.  They both can sing.  Oh boy can they sing.  And they both do such a great job in this as their characters.

Dr. Horrible's... was a little movie with 3 acts filmed during the writers strike of 2008.  I was told by a friend tonight about this musical episode that it was going to be a new summer 2009 show for ABC but when I went to ABC.com it didn't show anything so I just assumed it was Hulu only.  Then I discovered that Amazon has the DVD for sale.

I also Googled the shows title and found the official website.  I'm reading the "Master Plan" and I see that it was only going to be available to see on the internet until July 20th 2008 then it's gone from the internet forever.  But... it is still on the internet.

If you would like to buy it on DVD make sure you go to Amazon and to www.drhorrible.com to download it on iTunes.  They also have some t-shirts for sale for $25.

Nathan is in his own show on ABC called Castle which is on Monday's at 10/9C and Neil Patrick Harris is still in How I Met Your Mother on CBS Monday's at 8:30/7:30C.

Which ever show you watch you can also watch them at Hulu, that you can be sure of.

New Joss Whedon Show - Dollhouse

I recently heard about a new show on Fox called Dollhouse which is created by Joss Whedon starring Eliza Dushku.  I liked her as Faith in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  I didn't watch her other show but apparently it didn't last long because she is now in Dollhouse.

I tried watching the first episode of Dollhouse on Hulu but I wasn't really that into it.  I mean, if I really wanted to watch it I've had the last few days to try since I first heard about it and I haven't tried to watch it again.

It's about Echo who is an "Active" for this illegal underground organization called Dollhouse.  They use these women as pawns to do certain tasks for them then they erase their memory.  These women can never have a real life outside of the Dollhouse.

I'll try and watch it again.

Tune in to Fox on Friday's at 9/8C for Dollhouse.

Edit: I moved the parts about Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog so it has it's own post.  When I typed this it was under the impression that it was going to be a new summer show which is what someone was excitedly telling me.  After I typed it all out I did my research and found out it was a movie made in 2008 and it is not a preview of what we can expect this summer.

2009 Halloween Costume

This Halloween is going to be hilarious if this is the costume of the year!

Xanth

I've finished reading the 2nd Xanth book entitled "The Source of Magic". I'm waiting for the 3rd and 5th book to arrive in the mail and I have the 4th book already.

I really liked The Source of Magic, although the 11th and 12th chapter had me shaken up because of Chester, Crombie and Humfrey, what happened to them.  But when I got to the last 2 chapters I felt more at ease.  I don't want to give anything away for those who haven't read these books yet.  I know this one was written in 1979 (or at least published) and many have probably already read them but I'm just now reading them so I'm sure there are many others who have not read them yet.

A friend of mine, Alyce, bought me the 3rd and 5th book and sent them yesterday along with a few other goodies hehe so I have to wait for those to come before my adventure continues.  And I'm sure it will be here on Monday (crosses eyes, fingers and legs).

But what to do with my time while I wait...  Hmmmm.... what shall I do?

eBookwise

I went to ebay to find how much the Kindle 1 cost used and it's not that much cheaper.  I did find this though.  eBookwise 1150 Reading Device for $135.95 +$10 shipping.  It has a sad 64mb of internal memory but you can add more with SmartMedia Memory Cards, up to 128MB.

Go ahead and read thier website from that link above.  I'm thinking that if I am able to save the money for the Kindle 3 by the time it comes out and I still can't buy it or it still doesn't have the features I want then to heck with it, I'll just buy this one.  Or I might just save up for eBookwise e-reader to use as a test e-reader and use it until the kindle goes down in price.  There is no sense in spending money I can't afford to spend on something I probably won't be able to use that often.  And if I bought books on this new one I'm almost positive I can transfer them over to Kindle if I do decide to get one of those.  Then I can give the eBookwise to Chip.

Hehe I'm always giving him my hand me down electronics.

Howard goes to jail

Howard K. Stern turns himself in today for allegedly illegally obtaining prescription drugs for Anna Nicole Smith.

It's about freakin time I say.  If he hadn't been allegedly supplying her with drugs she and her son might still be alive today.  Although I don't know for a fact that her son died from this but I'm certain it probably had something to do with it.

Every time I watched her reality show on E! I knew something was wrong with her, no normal person acts like they are drugged up if they aren't taking something.  She was constantly slurring and walking as if she were drunk.  And that crazy clown video should've been proof enough that she was on something.

Despite her crazy behavior, I really liked her and it was very upsetting when she passed away.  I felt really sorry for her when her son died but then she died and it was a real tragedy.

I really hope that Howard goes to prison for this.
