Anya ,'Get It Done'
Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.
I liked Act II better than Act I. So. Much. Fun. He sporked himself!
Suddenly, I can't wait for the DVD. From the Master Plan:
And somewhat later, we will put the complete short epic out on DVD – with the finest and bravest extras in all the land. We’ll go into greater detail about that at Comiccon, but we’re changing the face of Show Friendliness a second time with that crazy DVD.
Remember when Cindy posted Jeff Pruitt's allegory about the kingdom and the knight? I wonder if Joss had that in mind when he was writing his Master Plan for this series:
1) Why, Joss? Why? Why now, why free, why us?
Once upon a time, all the writers in the forest got very mad with the Forest Kings and declared a work-stoppage. The forest creatures were all sad; the mushrooms did not dance, the elderberries gave no juice for the festival wines, and the Teamsters were kinda pissed. (They were very polite about it, though.) During this work-stoppage, many writers tried to form partnerships for outside funding to create new work that circumvented the Forest King system.
Frustrated with the lack of movement on that front, I finally decided to do something very ambitious, very exciting, very mid-life-crisisy. Aided only by everyone I had worked with, was related to or had ever met, I single-handedly created this unique little epic. A supervillain musical, of which, as we all know, there are far too few.
There's a entry in Matt Roush's TV Guide blog about Dr. Horrible (warning: spoils some casting) [link]
On the DVDs: We're actually going to do, in addition to the commentary, what we refer to as ‘commentary with an exclamation point'! A musical commentary that is a completely original musical, that is all commentary songs, and we're writing that now." As I gasped at that audacious notion, he continued: "We're just piling it on. We're like, we're going to make more fun of the idea of extras than anything else."
HA!
I am all over sparkly pink hearts for this show! And I kind of want to claim "hand her the keys to a shiny new Australia" as my tagline.
Do we know when the dvd will be out?
my favorite line(s) from Act II?
- And sometimes there's a third even deeper level. And that one is the same as the top surface one.
- Huh?
- Like with pie.
mostly i think it's the delivery.
Wait - is Act ii up?
mostly i think it's the delivery.
The same thing with the penis line. I spoiled myself by reading Jon's post, so I knew it was coming, but I still laughed. It's all in the timing.
Do we know when the dvd will be out?
Quickly, if they're smart. "Doctor Horrible" is a wonderful little trifle, but after the initial explosion of joy and excitement, I imagine the mostly fickle attention span of viewers will move on. Oh, the Whedon fanatics will all by it immediately -- and of them, there are many -- but Wehdon needs momentum to turn this silly and lovely little thing into a product that makes anyone any real cash.
