- chazman151, on 06/28/2008, -0/+20So very much looking forward to this. Thanks for the linkage.
- Tal71, on 06/28/2008, -0/+16I can't believe how awesome this is going to be - I'm going to be doing my best to help promote this - there are banners on the official website (as well as the Teaser trailer if you haven't seen it) at www.drhorrible.com
- FrancesBurney, on 06/28/2008, -0/+15Having seen the teaser, I have to believe this will be quite a show.
- floofypooh, on 06/28/2008, -0/+20It's quirky and it's a musical... my favorite things!
- TiaMija, on 06/28/2008, -0/+25We need to make sure everyone sees this comin'!
- jponah, on 06/28/2008, -0/+13awesome! I can't wait to see it.
- Meara282, on 06/28/2008, -0/+19The musical episode was one of my all-time Buffy favorites! Joss Whedon knows how to write a great musical. I can't wait for this!
- Codex77, on 06/28/2008, -0/+13So excited!!!
- Diggnabbit, on 06/28/2008, -0/+16Awesome. If anyone can make web distribution work well, it's Whedon.
- discordia7, on 06/28/2008, -0/+17So excited. Can't Speak. Good thing this is typing and not speaking.
- stoweaway, on 06/28/2008, -0/+12Wow! I didn't even realize how excited I was about this project until I saw the trailer. Can't.....wait....much....longer.
- ncb1, on 06/28/2008, -0/+11The time between now and July 15 is going to fly! Music and NPH and Nathan Fillion and singing.
- MSF2, on 06/29/2008, -0/+77Not only will this be completely awesome in a way that will define awesomeness for generations to come (only a small exaggeration) but it is a huge step in finding a way to circumvent the studios. That's why it's so important that Dr. Horrible makes money, enough money to make people pay attention. Because this will prove what Joss Whedon and other writers have been saying all along: We don't need the studios. All they do is interfere with creativity, take money from the real creative minds of the writers, and try futilely to stop pirates. Joss is (hopefully) about to prove that he can make a simi-high-budget film, put it up on the internet free for a week, and STILL make money.
I am an amateur filmmaker. I hope one day to be able to make a high-budget film, put it on the internet, and make enough money to keep making them till I'm old, tired, and fat. But amateur filmmakers like me can't do that if the studios control everything, if independent films keep getting swept under the metaphorical carpet as they are now. The studios have all the control right now, which is why there is such a lack of creativity in American movies today, half of which are just sequels or remakes. I say they had their chance, and now it's time to move on.
Like so many of you I will be watching Dr. Horrible for free when it comes out. But please consider buying it once it becomes available, like I will. It's not just about supporting everyone who worked on this project, it's about proving something. Proving that we don't need greedy middle-men who interfere with creativity. Proving that we won't wait for the next writers strike before we see the need for change. Because that's what this is really about, it's about change- our ability to change the industry for the better. It's time the writers got back control of what they've written. Just imagine, if Dr. Horrible succeeds, and is followed by other successful independent films, there won't be a need for a writers strike ever again. - brandigoddess, on 06/29/2008, -0/+10looks like it will be great!
brandi - WolfeatingRaven, on 06/30/2008, -0/+16can't wait, i mean joss+nathan+neil= legendary!
- ps2graphite, on 07/22/2008, -0/+1Or rather, Legen --- wait for it --- dary.
- ZMann, on 06/30/2008, -1/+11They're trying to find a home for Dr Horrible on the new TheWB.com...
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=6707969#/gr ... - PooshMoon, on 06/30/2008, -1/+12Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss! Joss!
- pollyprissyp, on 06/30/2008, -0/+9Can't wait to see this! With Joss (and crew), Nathan and NPH...this is going to be one for the books (if in fact people still read those things...)!
- piperisdown, on 06/30/2008, -0/+8I am sooooo very happy!!!
- melanieginnity, on 06/30/2008, -0/+8I have been waiting for more Joss creations. I love the new fan friendly venue and I can't wait. Woo Hoo!!
- QMaverick, on 07/01/2008, -0/+8This looks pretty sweet! I have to say...and the actors they got are actually pretty good! :-) Well, they're pretty funny at least...
- salsus, on 07/01/2008, -0/+7what would NPH do!
- pinguino, on 07/01/2008, -0/+8awesome, can't wait!
- eriksr, on 07/02/2008, -6/+7Oh Josh, he's my hero!
- FuzzyL0gic, on 07/02/2008, -0/+7Finally! something new from Joss Whedon! I'm already hoping for a sequel (or a TV show maybe?)
- CypherFTW, on 07/06/2008, -0/+10Legendary!! Nathan Fillion was the balls in Firefly/Serenity and NPH is well...pure Awesome!
- worldofhiglet, on 07/07/2008, -1/+12Nathan Fillion - Firefly, Serenity, Buffy, Waitress, etc, etc
Felicia Day - Buffy, The Guild, Prairie Fever etc, etc
Neil Patrick Harris - HIMYM, Harold and Kumar, Starship Troopers etc, etc
Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, Zack Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen - too many titles to mention! All talented, fantastic people. Pure gold solid action.
Check out the official fansite at http://doctorhorrible.net/ for lots of related information and goodies, and don't forget to watch the first episode on the 15th July!- AlexShipman, on 07/16/2008, -0/+6Disappointed you omitted Doogie Howser, M.D. in your filmography of Neil Patrick Harris...
- worldofhiglet, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5:) I was in a hurry. But of course, Doogie will always have a special place in my heart as that freaky kid you couldn't help but watch!
....and Part 1 does not disappoint. NPH is absolutely stunning in this. But then so are Felicia Day and Nathan Fillion. And the songs....
- worldofhiglet, on 07/16/2008, -0/+5:) I was in a hurry. But of course, Doogie will always have a special place in my heart as that freaky kid you couldn't help but watch!
- AlexShipman, on 07/16/2008, -0/+6Disappointed you omitted Doogie Howser, M.D. in your filmography of Neil Patrick Harris...
- digitalMessiah, on 07/07/2008, -10/+3Arg.. going on a cruise for the next few weeks and going to miss these. A little annoyed that they will take them down. Will just have to find them via "alternate" methods.
- Aidje, on 07/16/2008, -0/+14You'll still be able to get it on iTunes. And a DVD will eventually be released. Of course, you could just "get all piratey", which Joss Whedon specifically requested that we *not* do. (And before the piratey bury brigade gets me, remember that we want this to do well *economically* because it's an experiment in the sustainability (read: profitability) of online distribution.)
- veilrap, on 07/17/2008, -8/+1***** you ass hole, just buy it when you get back, and support freedom. Terrorist.
- digitalMessiah, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1Wow - such hostility there.
Funny thing on Piracy and Terrorism. When I visited So Korea two years ago they sold illegal DVD's all over the place. We were in Soul near the US base and the majority of the people buying the pirated movies were..... you guessed it, US soldiers stationed there. We talked to one of them who said he buys them and sends them back to the states as gifts for friends and family. ya, those soldiers are a bunch of ***** terrorists.
Also how does you downloading it freely from their site and me downloading it freely else where (Us both not paying) differentiate?
- digitalMessiah, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1Wow - such hostility there.
- digitalMessiah, on 08/04/2008, -0/+1Replying to myself here. Now that I got back and read how it went down I understand. Did not know it was going to be on Vimeo and other options for preview. Seemed like a one time thing. Shame on my pirate thoughts/
- Lerah99, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8Joss Whedon, how I love thee!
TV Shows, movies, comic books, musicals....is there anything you can't do?
I am so excited about this! Can't wait!!!! - apaintedsky, on 07/09/2008, -0/+8Let's say you could make a list of five people, living or dead, you'd like to have lunch with. Or dinner - if they'll spring for the tip. That's a hard list to think of making. But I'm sure of one person that would be on my list: Joss Whedon. Needless to say, when he does something, I'm interested. I'm soooo excited for this. Augh! Snoopy dance time! Tell everyone to digg the site. Digg away, my fiends, and friends, and friendly fiends! I'll be promoting this on my blog.
- BloggerET, on 07/10/2008, -0/+8Good God a'mighty. I think everyone here understands my general feeling on this one. I don't think I could write FRIGGIN' AWESOME enough times... Hmm. New word. Fantasticismastaconinomicon. No. That really doesn't quite do it... Ah. Here... Fantasticismastaconinomicon 3000. That's better. Thank you, Joss. They really can't take the sky from this guy, can they?
- riz94107, on 07/11/2008, -0/+8I hate things, but hope to like this a great deal. Looking forward to it!
- davidseligman, on 07/13/2008, -0/+8this is a great idea.
before everyone else says it, YES, I did have this idea like, a million years ago... right after I had the idea then INVENTED the internet. (sorry Joss, just keepin' it real!)
that outta the way: JOSS THIS IS BRILLIANT.
the trailer is fun, cool and funny! the idea, character design & site are simple and great. (less IS more! not just a slogan used more than less.)
as just a regular stiff (so far...) I pledge to do my part to spread the word. seems us web-types, geeky-chicks and flat-out nerds are quite plentiful in today's world, and more so, seems like we've got something to say and some cash to buy stuff with -- so we get people's attention.
I am saying: DEAR SIR, THIS APPEALS TO ME. THANK YOU FOR IT BEING FREE. I CAN'T WAIT TO BUY THIS ITEM. I AM EAGER AND LOOKING FORWARD TO MAKING PURCHASES OF SIMILAR GOODS IN THE FUTURE.
I AM A REAL PERSON not affiliated in anyway (sadly) with any of this beyond my allegiance to good storytelling, witty dialogue and good clean fun (even when dirty).
I hope this helps. I will kudo, digg, spread, and... do whatever else I can with actual talking to actual people upto and beyond the show's release.
I truly can't wait.
sincerely,
a real guy, a filmmaker and a fan,
Dave Seligman - Cordrone, on 07/14/2008, -0/+9This looks way shiny! I can't wait. HIMYIM meets Firefly (ok not really but still).... that's like chocolate and peanut butter.
- mikebrowne, on 07/15/2008, -1/+5On Hulu. That means no one outside US can see. Locked out again. Booooooo!
- tamaleaver, on 07/15/2008, -1/+1I am staggeringly disappointed that this isn't available for free outside the US (thanks to Hulu) or even for a fee (only available via iTunes US store). Very, very disappointed. :(
- diggkstra, on 07/15/2008, -0/+1It should definitely have mentioned on the site that this was only going to be available to US fans.
- Taedirk, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2It does say on the site (slightly hidden, though) that they plan to release these for a "nominal fee" after July 20th as well as put out a DVD in the future with the finest and bravest extras in all the land.
- pr0nin, on 07/15/2008, -0/+3I'm in Norway and it works without any problems.
If you check out http://twitter.com/drhorrible it seems like they had problems with international viewers, but they've clearly fixed that now. - diggkstra, on 08/20/2008, -0/+0Yup - it worked for me the next day! Yay!
- Chim3r6, on 07/15/2008, -1/+4ou est le CANADIAN love?!?!
dammit, guess i'll just buy the dvd *kicks the dirt* ah, hamburgers.... - mawdurnbukanier, on 07/15/2008, -0/+9Dr. Horrible is live, and it rocks!
- avataroftime, on 07/15/2008, -2/+3It is live and it sucks, as I cannot view it as I am in Australia and I am a big fan of Joss's work and I was looking forward to it.
- dbeckitt, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2Try again - it's viewable now. You might have to clear your cache first, though.
Wish I could d/l it on iTunes though. I guess I'll have to pay that nominal fee later... - zml2008, on 07/19/2008, -0/+0I'm in Germany and I can see them!
- dbeckitt, on 07/15/2008, -0/+2Try again - it's viewable now. You might have to clear your cache first, though.
- reportingsjr, on 07/15/2008, -0/+6Haha, that was well worth the time it took to watch! Looking forward to the next two acts! :)
Poor Dr. Horrible, if only he could get the girls.. - chinomite, on 07/15/2008, -0/+7Classic Joss! Kitty Fantastico!
- sirana, on 07/15/2008, -0/+9This is so incredible awsome, my awsome-meter exploded.
- Squidly, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12I loved the iPhone "Horrible Van Remote. " Sweet.
- digitaltodd, on 07/16/2008, -0/+8Way to go! Another score for the Whedon team. Can't wait for the next 2 acts.
- cosmicjuju, on 07/16/2008, -0/+8Oh yes, oh yes, OH SWEET JESUS, YES! That is so awesome, I am actually in a little pain.
But, baby, it hurts so good. - apurocks, on 07/16/2008, -1/+8pure genius
- Sturek, on 07/16/2008, -0/+8Just fantastic.
- Pulledteeth, on 07/16/2008, -0/+18I hate musicals.
I loved this.
Awesome. - mackil, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12Ok that was just hilarious. I'm not your typical musical fan in the least, but I nearly died laughing watching this. Awesome
- obewan08, on 07/16/2008, -9/+4I do love Joss but I think Dr Horrible maybe should have been more edgy ,
More evil like Warren and a bit less like Andrew . . .
sorry , but the conflict would be better more Warreny . . .
sincerely
obewan08- moocow1452, on 07/17/2008, -0/+3Oh, it gets edgy.
- Maratanos, on 07/18/2008, -0/+2Edgy is right. Hard to say at this juncture which end Act III will teeter off of, though.
- moocow1452, on 07/17/2008, -0/+3Oh, it gets edgy.
- Trynity978, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12I had so much fun watching this. And it gives me what I was so missing this summer and didn't even know. Brilliant!
