Dr. Horrible Sings Les Mis

So Matt mentions in his blog today that he just finished watching Joss Whedon’s Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, which as well all know, is awesome times.

Which got me thinking about Neil Patrick Harris, whose work I always enjoy, be it How I Met Your Mother, Harold & Kumar, or Doogie Howser or guest-hosting on Regis & Kelly. One of my favorite NPH interviews is from several years ago, where he and Jason Segel face off with the “Confrontation” song from Les Miserables.

One more How I Met Your Mother clip of Barney:

Musicals + Neil Patrick Harris = Good Times

In honor of Dr. Horrible, Joss Whedon’s musical webisodes running this week, here’s an interview with the How I Mother Cast where Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Segel (of Freaks & Geeks too) recreate that oh-so-classic Les Miserables moment:

Dr. Horrible Is Coming!

I am giddy with excitement for the upcoming webisode featuring Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion in the Joss-Whedon directed musical “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.” Check out the teaser, it’s going to be legen – wait for it and I hope you’re not lactose intolerant – dary! Legendary!

Dollhouse is coming!

Dollhouse is coming, let the countdown begin! Whedon’s new TV series, starring Eliza Dushku, has the burden of super high expectations.  The premise sounded a little odd to me at first read, but I’m sure that’s what they said about Firefly and Buffy when they were being pitched.  If interested in spoiling yourself with more details, check out this Vulture post or this Dollverse site.

First post

I’ve resisted blogging for a long time, citing all manners of excuses until my former roommate finally wore me down with some pretty solid logic. I spend most of my days writing about finance, so this blog lets me write about what I want to write about.

Random recent thoughts:

-The founders of Television Without Pity and TwoP recapper Miss Alli left the site this month: Quite simply – these guys rock. It sucks they’re leaving, but congrats to them. Can’t wait to see what they’ll do next.

-Korean “rap” band ‘Big Bang’: Ha. Right. Rap. If you took NSync and the boy bands of the 90s and sent them to Korea, you’d get this group. They’re not breaking musical ground, but their video ‘Last Farewell’ may be one of the funniest I’ve seen recently.

-Say what, Joss Whedon is doing a MUSICAL?! With Nathan ‘Capt. Tightpants’ Fillion? And Neil Patrick Harris plays a character named ‘Dr. Horrible’? Awesome.

-Several months ago, I had a peanut butter sandwich, followed by a banana. (Be patient, it might get more interesting.) This brought on an ephiphany. What if I combined the two in one? So I did. And it was awesome. And I’m having it again tomorrow. Alright, so it didn’t get more interesting. But it’s still yummy!
