Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog
2008-07-14 17:53:40



New Whedon-y goodness starts tomorrow at drhorrible.com! Take a look at the trailer. (Wanna know more about it? Joss expounds here.)

Also, shout out to Felicia Day. The one-time Potential Slayer on Buffy and now-time Penny in Dr. Horrible writes and produces her own web series, The Guild, which was part of the inspiration for Joss to make Dr. Horrible in the first place.

UPDATE: In mere hours, Dr. Horrible is a hit! So much so that the site is currently down... In the meantime, you can go to iTunes (where it's already moving up the top 10 TV list) and get it (all 3 acts) for the best $3.99 you'll ever spend.

Vote David Wright to the All-Star Game!
2008-07-08 21:34:05

Fans have a chance to vote David Wright into the All-Star game. 70 RBI, 17 HR, .512 SLG. He deserves it. If you agree, get clicking!



UPDATE: We indirectly did it! Wright finished a close second in the Final Vote, but he has been named to the team by manager Clint Hurdle, to fill the spot of the injured Alfonso Soriano. What a roundabout way to get there, but it doesn't matter. Wright belongs on the team and now he is.

Carrier
2008-04-29 00:02:20

Have you seen the new PBS series Carrier? It started Sunday night and ends Thursday. (If you've missed it, look for repeats or watch the full episodes online.)

The series is really cool, giving a great look at the operations and people on the U.S.S. Nimitz, but what really caught my attention was the opening. I don't mean the theme with the credits over it (I actually don't care for that music), I mean the opening scene following the ship's departure, set to the The Killers' "All These Things That I've Done". It's kinda this series' "Danger Zone" and I like the way it's cut and the use of the music is great. (To see it, go here, click on "Episode 1: All Hands", click on "Chapter 1: Haze Gray and Underway", then it's after the preview, the ad and the credits. Oh, and if you get a chance to see it in HD, that's where it really shines. =)

Gladiators readyyyyy!

As Craig Ferguson would say, it's a great day for America.

American Gladiators is back.

And behold... HELLGA!

They forgot to send in the band!

OK, this was pretty incredible.



The obvious comparison is being made to the Cal-Stanford play, but my math says:

5 laterals + 1 band on the field > 15 laterals



Add to that that one is Cal-Stanford, a game referred to as The Big Game before it's even played, while the other is two Division III teams no one's ever heard of. It's fun to watch, don't get me wrong, but until someone else has a game-ender with THE BAND ON THE FIELD and flute players getting run over in the endzone, Cal-Stanford is still #1.

BTW, considering how bad college sportscasters can be, the Trinity guy did a heck of a job calling the play.

I love Bob Costas.

Costas: He [Bonds] would have been a first-ballot Hall of Famer even before he started juicing. And I'm not in the category of those who say suspected juicer, I live on this planet, I've seen what I've seen, I know what I know.

Bonds: Is that the story Bob Costas talked about? A little midget man, who doesn't know jack about baseball, who never played the game before? You can tell Bob Costas what I called him.

Costas: As anyone can plainly see, I'm 5-foot-6 1/2 and a strapping 150, and unlike some people, I came by all of it naturally.

Um, never mind...

That was quick.

Drive
2007-04-15 15:00:00

Drive premieres tonight on Fox. It reunites executive producer Tim Minear and actor Nathan Fillion, who last worked together on Firefly. In fact, Tim Minear wrote my favorite Firefly episode (one of my favorite hours of TV ever), "Out of Gas".

I haven't seen more of the show than promos on Fox, but I'm sure Minear's inventive storytelling and Fillion's easy charisma will add up to a great show. Check it out.

Awesome! I haven't tried it yet, but I already know it's the best ice cream ever.
