If you're unfamiliar with Joss Wheadon's latest project, a 40-minute musical featuring Neil Patrick Harris as a video-blogging bumbling super villian who is trying to get into the League of Evil, you're missing one of the treats of this summer--"Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog". Make sure to keep watching beyond the first two minutes, which starts off slowly as a low-budget vlog by our hero/evil villain, because the pace will pick up quickly. I'm not ordinarily one for musicals, but this one has it all: multi-layered characters (like onions), an assortment of evil rogues with extraordinary powers (such as making things moist), fascinating gadgets, and, of course, very catchy tunes.
Get it on iTunes for $4 or, better, visit it at hulu.com with limited commercial interruption. I have it on good authority that it can viewed in countries outside the United States.
