Dr. Horrible Belies His Name

Go watch this:

 

dr_horrible

 

For one thing, it’s directed and co-written by Joss Whedon. For a second thing, it’s about a mad scientist. For a third thing, it’s about a mad scientist trying to take over the world who occasionally bursts into songs written by Joss (and Jed) Whedon.

It’s a (for now) web-only series. Episode 1 is up now (run time around 13 min.). Episode 2 will drop on July 17, with Episode 3 debuting July 19. You only have until July 20 to watch them all before they disappear from the web (though later they will be available on DVD with extras and stuff).

So, go watch. You’ll thank me later.
