… is the best short film ever (to me). I just finished watching it again.
I call it a romanticometragedy. Elements from comedy, romance, and tragedy films are all present. Joss Whedon, his cast, and crew put together a masterpiece. The story is brilliant. I don’t know who I want to be the winner throughout. You want to sympathize with Dr. Horrible because he seems like an every-man trying to move up in the world. Captain Hammer is the good guy, but he’s a complete, manipulative jerk and nobody knows it.
I love this movie to death. I am not normally what one would call a costumer, but I have done extensive research on Dr. Horrible’s outfit in the movie. Presumably, this is because I would like to put together a film-accurate replication of the ensemble, but I have yet to bite the proverbial bullet and actually begin to acquire the pieces. I really want to do it, though I’m not sure I am ready to join the cosplay crowd. (I know, I’m using a very loose definition of the word…)
In all seriousness though, if you can spare 45 minutes from your day sometime, I very highly recommend watching Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog. Please. You won’t be disappointed!
I love it too!
