Nathan is frikkin awesome!!!!!
"Billy, you're driving a spork into your leg." LOL
"Captain Hammer threw a car at my head."
"Oh look at my wrist.."
"The hammer is my p**is"
"It's a brand new day!"
Wow, that was just beautiful. I agree that that was one of the best things I've ever seen. Especially the first song, it is just great. Also yes, "The hammer is my penis" is a great line, as well as "oh look at my wrist."
That was absolutely amazing! I think it was even better than Act one! Oh, the songs! they were all so fantastic, I can't even choose a favourite, it was way too amazing!! so many quotes!!
And BTW,I loved that Penny's photo had some leafs around it,it was so stalkery.In a good way of course, since it's Dr Horrible.
Is it the 19th yet? No? Ooh..I think I'll watch again yet. just in case. before it crashes
OMG! This is so amazing, it is terrible that I'm in bliss seeing dear Billy in such pain?
And there is pie... and I have a PhD in Horribleness as I want to impress the Thorough Bred of Sin!!!
This is even better than Act 1, it is amazing... and I'm watching again now...
I loved the first Act, and I didn't realise until I watched the second that it was missing the trademark Whedon pathos.
This second act was fabulous, and not in a "wow that was fun" kind of way. In an honest to god incredibly well done kind of way. NPH just knocked this one out of the park, and the songs, while less light, were all steller.
I can't wait for part 3, but more than that, I can't wait to have this all on my shelf next to the Buffy/Angel and Firefly DVDs. It could stand up there easily.
I think I died all over several times during Act II. And man do I ever want to see Ballroom 20 boo Nathan at Comic-Con next Friday, just to see what he does.
Felicia and Neil need to work more together after this. Seriously.
First thought: I remembered in the "OMWF" commentary Joss mentioning during Giles and Tara's duet (very much paraphrased here) that he put together their counterpoint by essentially doing the math with each of their parts, putting them together, and hoping they worked. Well, sir, I thought it felt a little clumsy there but that it ultimately worked. Here, in the opening duet, it appears you've been practicing. Beautiful work! I liked the first installment, but I lurved this one. Can't wait for part three.
Favorite line: "And how are things with Cheesy-on-the-Outside?"
I thought I loved NPH before this. I was mistaken. He is amazing. A. MAZING! Loved it. Laughed out loud too many times. Must now compulsively watch it over and over.
I thought that was definitely better than act 1, I really loved every minute of it! And I want to be singing all the songs already... :D I'm refraining from rewatching so I won't help it crash again but I want to buy the episode on iTunes already!
Joss and Crew - That was FANTASTIC!! I know that there was a lot of bashing after the first episode from people who could not view, but here in Canada at exactly midnight I watched episode two and it ROCKED! THANK YOU for such an awesome opus!
oohhhhh i hate the fact i now have to wait 2 days for the next instalment!
"these aren't the hammer" LOL.........
duet was amazing
NPH was great........loved seeing his face change at the start of that last song.
So expressive
Enjoying watching part II with my kids when "the hammer is my penis" came up. That was... awkward.... Was wondering how the whole murder suggestion might come out.... "And sometimes there's a third, deeper level, and that one's the same as the surface one. Like with pie." "I've got a PhD in horribleness." "Is that the new catch-phrase?" (Moist futilely trying to open a jar) "You look *horribly* familiar" "I want to be an achiever, like Bad Horse" "THe thoroughbred of sin?" "I meant Ghandi." (Another Buffy homage: "Wanna see my imitation of Ghandi?") Wasn't as thrilled with the repetition of the Penny musical motif till the end of the song. Fun, fun, fun! Nathan does great cheese (on the outside). NPH is better than I could have ever imagined! Love it!
I think my favorite part about this is that I have no idea how it's going to end. The good guy is actually a bad guy and the actual good guy isn't a very good guy at all. And just for kicks, they both sing!
SO BLOODY GOOOD!!!!!!!!
i feel so bad for doc! i hope things go well(ish).
also, the music is pretty freaking excellent; for whatever reason i don't think i had particularly high hopes in that deparment, but it works!
First Act was good, with touches of brill. This was great, with added excellence. Felicia brought her pipes, and was allowed to play them. Nathan played nasty so . . . nastily. And the closing song was a terrific change-up of pace. And so many cool lines! And the return of the Bad Horse Gang! Beautiful.
I heart Act 2 even more than Act 1 which just doesn't seem possible. Also, the hammer is my penis. ;) Hilarious, just as hilarious- seeing that line repeated like thirty times in the thread above. Surprisingly it got funnier each time I read it. Love the spork bit. And pie! And they're all so shiny and pretty and hearts and puppies are everywhere...Coming down now. Apparently Dr. Horrible is internet Prozac for me.
Joss and Co. - Thank you!
I kind of think the 'oh crap' was in response to the 'wonder what's on tv' twittette (what does one call a twitter entry?). I too am wondering why Australia needs keys though.
I love Dr. H so far, the characters, the songs, the whole 9 yards but even more I love the business model! I hope it makes loads and loads of cashy money for all of those involved.
I can totally see it hitting Broadway and perhaps even better becoming the next Rocky Horror Picture Show like... pop culture... thing-a-ma-tainment...ness. Go Go Micromogals!
Oh! Only one thing missing from Dr. H. This is a Mutant Enemy production right? Where is the Grrr? What has happened to the Arrrg? LOL! Please bring back the Zombie Alien at the end of act III. I miss that.
I didn't even know about the Doctor Horrible twitters. Must keep a watch on them from now on.
I finally got the Australia bit on the third go-around. I'm a little slow sometimes. It's probably due here to having my brain stunned into silliness by so much awesomeness.
Loved everything everyone's already mentioned, plus Billy in disguise doing some very angry and ineffectual ladling of soup for "the lost and found." Love the 'stache!
*waits for Act II on iTunes and its better sound so he can make his own mp3s for tomorrow's commute (and yes as stated before I will be buying the actual soundtrack but seriously do you expect me to wait until then?)*
"The hammer is my penis." So awesome!
*dies laughing*
electricspacegirl | July 17, 05:17 CET
Yes, sitting here all alone at my computer, I screamed when Hammer said that. Screamed like a little girl.
Act 2 was wonderful!! I watched it twice...and will watch it again before I go to work in the morning.
If the site wasn't blocked, I'd watch it at work. Balls!
So...when's the DVD becoming available because I am so giving this to some people for ChristmaHanuKwanza this year!
: )
Okay, two watches are probably enough for the moment because it's past 5:45am now. Darn Joss with his refusal to let me sleep!
Seriously though - I thought I was blown away by Act I? Felicia's luminous, Nathan's fab as always (and now more than a little creepy), but NPH is just breaking my heart. I mean, it's still funny and sweet and all that, but I'm not the only one who thought the Dr Horrible parts of the first song are bleak right? Gorgeous, but reminding me that it's not just about the funny. And there's awe. Lots and lots of awe :)
Awesome midnight laugh--and looking forward to some morning, afternoon, evening re-laughter tomorrow! Until then I think I really need to take a cold, hard look at my graduate program and consider transferring to a university that offers a Ph.D. in horribleness...sounds like waaaay more fun. ;)
I laughed out loud at the "hammer" lines which might have been awkward if my bosses hadn't gone home at 5pm. Poor them! They can't see this brilliance until the morning! I loved the opening shot once I realized that my picture hadn't frozen. ;D
Awesome!!! I loved the first act and thought it couldn't get any better - glad to be wrong!! And yup, my favorite line was the hammer penis one too that so many of you above me mentioned! I cannot wait for the dvd of this and the soundtrack!
I know that everyone's already mentioned it, but dude. "The hammer is my penis." Genius. Classic. Brilliant.
And that was only one line! The whole thing was fantastic. And Billy makes me so sad, because I can relate to him so well.
I know that Joss has mentioned sequels, and it's been pretty light so far (but with, as Billy said, layers), but there's a dark enough undercurrent that I can imagine a tragic ending where Billy dies. I mean, like I said, this has been pretty lighthearted so far, but this is Joss we're dealing with.
I'm going to be transcribing the lyrics. As with the first set of lyrics I transcribed, if you want 'em, e-mail me.
That opening song really reminded me of Buffy's opening in "Walk Through the Fire." Considering that was my favorite song in OMWF, that's a huge compliment. This was definitely better than part 1 (which I really enjoyed). I'm not easily entertained, but I'm really enjoying this! It's now definitely sealed: I'm buying the DVD the day it comes out. Just... awesome.
Happy to say both the new drhorrible.com and the new whedonesque.com withstood the pounding tonight :) I mean we could all still... no, I won't jinx it. Hard to believe Act II was even better than Act I, but there you have it!
So I took a break at work. (Yes, I work evenings). This made my night much, much better. The opening was beautifully lit, and once Penny and Billy starting singing together, I got chills. I loved the songs in the first act, but these songs just raised the bar even higher. I was thrilled to see the Bad Horse singers return. My favorite song was the last one, "A Brand New Day," or something like that. It's awesomeness caught me offguard. And Neil did the beginning of the song in one take! That is some precise timing. I can't wait for the last part!
My husband is about to kill me because I'm on m laptop in bed, but I watched it twice, and I can't wait to wake up in the morning just to watch it again!
It's absolutely amazing! NPH is awesome, and I think I hate Captain Hammer more than I hated Caleb.
"Oh, goodness, look at my wrist, gotta go!"
"...and these are not the hammer... (walks away, comes back)... the hammer is my penis."
Are these continually stopping for anyone else? It's probably just my crappy computer being slow. Does anyone computer-savvy have any suggestions on how to stop that because I'm getting really annoyed. I'm laughing hysterically at a scene and then having to wait for ages to watch the next bit. It's killing it
Otherwise, my god this was great. On the whole there's less silliness in this than I expected
Still loving Moist! These songs are pure wonderful. Bring on the cast recording! Don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but does Joss voice one of the singing cowboys?
Can anyone tell me how much an episode or season costs on iTunes? I don't have it, so it won't let me look at the site, but my brother does and I'm totally prepared to pay him!
Penny can own my country any day....(worst double entendre ever)
So much joyous wonderment and confetti-delight at Dr.Horrible so far. Loved the songs in Act 2, as I was ever so slightly disapointed with Act 1's songs.
Moist is my favourite ever. "At best I make people fell the need to shower"....hahaha classic!
Allow it to buffer some and then make sure to kill any unnecessary programs running in the background. Also have the latest version of your browser and flash.
Can anyone tell me how much an episode or season costs on iTunes? I don't have it, so it won't let me look at the site, but my brother does and I'm totally prepared to pay him!
Eps are $1.99 a piece or $3.99 for season. Do remember that if you want to play it you need to be watching it on a system that has iTunes on it so it can be authorized. It is protected by Fair Play 2 Digital Rights Management.
I love that the opening is a love duet showing two really different sides to being in love: the joy of new love and the abysmalness of seeing your love with someone else. I've definitely seen the world both ways when in those situations. What a beautiful blend. And the rest is also all awesome all the time!
I want a t-shirt with "I have a PhD in Horribleness" so bad!
Thank you. I am such a sucker. Didn't connect the two twitters, and just thought that something was rotten in the state of Servers or something.
*blushes*
Ya wouldn't think I'd be such a mark.
I've watched a couple times now, and will move away from the trough 'til I can haz my iTunes download.
My thanks to the fine people at J, M, J and Z - you've won my heart completely with this one. And it's quite a hoot to be a part of this fandom as a production is actually happening, and not after the fact. (I know, the comics, but I am so actor-centric for my jollies...)
ETA: Oh, yeah, we have to do an over-the-top old-style vaudeville boo-hiss for Nathan - if I can bring myself to do it. I'm such a softie...
Pie! Sporks! Oh man I can't even put into words how much I am loving this. Act 2 rocks, and I thought Act 1 was brilliant this is just glorious... Everyone is awesome, the singing is amazing. Did anyone else tear up at the beginning for poor Dr Horrible, and then in the middle and at the end? But he'll get his back "the birds are singing 'coz you're gonna die" That rules. Mawwww, so well acted by NPH and the others. Love all the songs again, and agree with everyone about wanting a soundtrack. Plus new wierd hand dance thingy with the fingers, to go with the previously mentioned shoulder jig. Hi-larious lines aplenty, ahhh I bask in Its awesomeness, bask I tell you! Or just watch again.. whatever.
I have to just echo everyone else: as much as I loved Act I, Act II was even better. It doesn't seem possible, but I just watched it, so it must be so! So many fantastic lines, amazing music, and the story just rolling along. I can't wait for the final Act!
Amazing - just so amazing. Even better (but darker as some have pointed out) then Act I, I think - and more emotional punch in these songs. Kudos to NPH, Felicia and Nathan...they're really knocking this one out of the park!
This is turning into the most painful Comic-Con-that-I'm-gonna-miss EVER!
We are more than happy to be your pain surrogates, maxsummers! ;D
Thanks! It helps to know I can share my pain. =P
...
Back to the pans/serenity model ... I KNOW it's pans. I've read it. I've seen pictures that show it. But I can't help to see the ship and picture a mini-Wash at the bridge.
...
Is it just me, or is Penny dressed kinda like Snow White?
these have been the shortest 14 minute segments of my life...how the crap is this going to wrap up in another 14?? There is so much I still want to see!
I absolutely love Neil Harris as Dr. cutey-pie Horrible and how gorgeous is Felicia Day.
These are not the hammer... omg I was so shocked it was hilarious. Wow did I mention how much I loved NPH yet? He is really amazing.
So much love to all the Whedon's right now. And to think that there's a whole tonne of you with all this talent. I mean what's next? Surely world domination? or maybe universe domination?
I can't believe there's only 1 act to go... this should never have to end =)
I love the acting. And the writing. Oh, and the lyrics. Well, let's not forget to mention the pretty score. The jokes are hysterical & the drama is tense. My heart is breaking for one man; and I'm irritated with another. Felicia is simply delightful.
I just plain think that certain words are funny, and "spork" is one of 'em.
I also laugh at "cuspidor," "behemoth," "somatic," and "homunculus" - so if you could work those in somehow into your next production, I would make it worth your while. I don't know what that means, but it could be worth at least another big $4 to me.
So, I'm getting a Network Timeout error using Firefox 3 on Mac OSX 10.4.11. This just me, or is anybody else having a similar experience when trying to connect to drhorrible.com?
I haven't upgraded my Firefox yet, but I have the same Mac OS, Barclay and I had no problems viewing with either Safari 3.1.2 or Firefox 1.5.0.4 - it's actually running smoothly like buttah.
I just wanted to say I've come to the realization that if Allyson Hannigan could sing, I'd bet she'd essentially have Felicia Day's singing voice. Or maybe it's just me.
Really enjoying being able to see this every second day.. can this continue for a while please? ;) Although I'm using firefox and it does this skipping thing every minute or so.. have to pause it and wait a while. A part from that I'm loving it, liked the songs in part 2 more then part 1. Rare that I'm wanting the 'villain' to get the girl
Dr. Horrible team reads whedonesque to discover that they needn't have bothered with the tremendous amount of effort they put into their work... 'cause penis jokes are the key to our hearts ;)
I'm an incredibly pretentious music snob, and I think these songs are really good.
Also, I would really like to see Nathan booed at Comic-Con. Just to see his reaction. Assuming Captain Hammer doesn't somehow redeem himself in the third act, of course. I really have no idea how this will end.
OMG, I never noticed. But it's even better than that. He is so focused on Penny that he is pouring the soup back into the pot, then handing people back empty bowls! Priceless!
I really love the duet at the beginning, but I'm going to go against the grain, and say that on balance I still prefer Act I. "A Man's Got To Do" just blows me away.
Does anyone else think that song at the end of Act II has more than a hint of Pet Shop Boys to it?
Incidentally, is it just me or do I really watch too much whedon. In Act I, when Penny is speaking to Billy, his facial expressions are just like those of Joss himself in that episode of Veronica Mars. I got your number, boss.
Wonderflownium stuff! Wish there was more than just three acts! I'm really torn over how I want this to end, I want Dr Horrible to succeed but I don't want him to kill...
I agree with whoever said that spork is a just a plain funny word, along with fungi and meniscus. Yay for Australia rhyming with... failure?
Ok back to the paper writing for me - no wait, have to watch it again first! :)
Well, the lyrics have been transcribed. As QuoterGal accurately speculated after I sent an e-mail to her, I have not been doing much else since Act II went live.
As I said above: If you want 'em, e-mail me! I will charge nothing, but would like a cookie.
Although I love Neil Patrick Harris and Felicia Day, Nathan Fillion so far is completely stealing Doctor Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog. I hope Captain Hammer appears more in the third act, because everything he says is comic gold.
And I'll be making another lil' Songbook,
Oh yay!
I printed the little booky and we had a family sing-a-long in front of the computer. My husband is trying to figure out how to use Dr. Horrible in his ESL class. ("Listen to all those great idioms!") Probably have to skip the penis joke, though.
Ok, I JUST noticed this... but when Penny is singing sitting on the table with Cap. Hammer, Dr. Horrible, who was previous outside, is now inside, in a mustache, serving soup or whatever! =P
That was funny!
EDIT: Ok, and now I noticed that this had been commented before. I'm slow. Need sleep.
It ran smooth like water.
Love Love, the work our cast has done, the writers, the crew did. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Noticed that we mostly dealt with the same cast from Act I, including Moist and the Cowboys (who are so over the top, and reminding me of the non-existent cowboy, Riley plays in Restless).
Do have any idea when the Soundtrack cds and dvds will be available? I don't remember reading any of interviews with Joss and company that gave dates... or even ballpark estimations.
I soooo need the soundtrack to this ASAP cause I just can't stop humming and singing the songs for hours after watching. =)
Again, this thing is amazing. So many jokes in so little time, excellent characters, awesome songs (soundtrack!!! I NEED THE SOUNDTRACK!!!) and NHP's reaction 'Get right outta town' after she tells him about her date was as heart-breaking as anything I've seen of late. And his silent look in the beginning! Pefect, just perfect.
I have one question; for non-US viewers, what option is there for us to actually pay for this thing? iTunes demand that I move to the US immediately, so I 'm looking for a less drastic option. :)
This just keeps getting better and better! I love the Billie/Penny duet, it's just really well done. I am probably going to end up buying everything associated with Dr. HOrrible, especially the soundrack!
I still had the same problem watching on my laptop, but that didn't stop me. Just switched to my desktop and that solved all my woes.
Me wants my iTunes download! (See how I don't practice the patience I preach?)
Did they take away or summat? It ain't happenin' for me like last time, and I'm a firm believer in tradition and consistency.
Okay, I'm not, but I'd really like to download it nonetheless. I may only have a Master's in Horribleness, but as soon as I write my thesis ("Art and Artifice in the Spells of Elphaba Thropp") I'll get accredited and woo-hoo, you don't wanna mess with that.
Has anyone else downloaded it? I really got spoiled by its availability last time...
I told two friends about it and they saw Act 1 yesterday. One thought it was cute and some parts were funny, but isn't the biggest fan of musicals (she's a hardcore Joss Whedon fan like myself though). Her boyfriend couldn't get into it, he can't stand musicals. He's only just getting into Buffy, he likes it a lot, she's introducing him. He saw Serenity years ago, without having seen Firefly, thinking it was a standalone film, and didn't really like it. We'll work on 'im. I can respect the fact that he doesn't like musicals, we've already warned him that there'll be a Buffy one if he makes it to Season 6. Though we assured him he'll appreciate the humor even if he's bothered by the singing. This is a dude who loves music, loves a vast diversity of music, and frequently goes to shows and downloads tons on his iPod, so...I dunno. Guess theatrical singing just isn't his thing. I thought maybe he might be thinking along the lines of "musicals are cheesy and totally gay", but he really doesn't seem the type to make that sort of judgement.
hacksaway said:
"Is it just me, or is Penny dressed kinda like Snow White?"
Yeah, thirding that. I noticed it looked like the same kinda color scheme. Wonder if it was intentional.
Act 2 is awesome, I've watched it three times tonight. Will watch Act 1 and 2 together tomorrow.
My sister got free tickets to the Toronto premiere/press screening of The Dark Knight tonight, so jealous. We're going for the Thursday midnight showing. I watched the animated Gotham Knight tie-in to Nolan's Bat-franchise, comprised of a bunch of shorts, Animatrix-style. The animation in almost all of them was pretty and fun to see, but almost all the stories were dull or slight letdowns. A disappointing project, especially considering the amount of talent behind it, many of whom cut their teeth on writing/producing Batman and other DC-related material previously. It's always great to hear Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne/Batman though, he's the definitive off-page incarnation of him IMO (though it would've made more sense to get the movie actors to voice the animated tie-in, especially with cartoon Bruce Wayne looking like Christian Bale).
Anyway, a new Dr. Horrible act made up for the Gotham Knights suckitude.
Strangely I can view it on my laptop but not my desktop. My desktop just gets "This video is unavailable" errors.
BUT! Having watched on the laptop Act II is awesome! Trying to figure out what to do about the penis line and my kids who are waiting to see part 2 ... maybe judicious use of the mute button.
(It is funny though!)
I don't see Act II on the iTunes Canada store yet.
I started applauding after the first number. Holy smokes, that was incredible. Very dark and great harmonies. NPH, I love you!!! Felicia really kicked it up a notch. I want more Nathan singing, but I guess we'll get that on Saturday :)
Probably way-off-the-mark prediction: in Act III, we finally meet Bad Horse, and he's a super-secret guest star. David Boreanaz? Joss himself?
Wow, and double wow. I have to agree with many others here that I enjoyed Act II even more than Act I (which was already superb). Although what else to expect with all that bittersweetnes, something whedon(s) does so well.
Bad Horse could be kinda hard to pull off, seeing as so far it's been implied that he's actually a horse. If not like a regular horse on four legs, then maybe one that's sort of like a man and stands on his hind legs ? I can't visualize properly without more details. Then again, all that about ruling with "an iron hoof", being the thoroughbred of evil, his death whinny...They might all just be figurative. His evil death whinny could just be a really high-pitched maniacal laugh, he wears steel toe boots, and maybe wears a horse mask or something.
The show/movie is goofy in parts anyway, so they could probably pull off whatever it is without pushing the boundaries of the believability/visual cheese content of the overall story.
Did they perhaps trigger (no horse pun intended, but appreciated anyway) the Act I on iTunes early in order to compensate for the crashing of the server at the time, but since the server is stable now they aren't putting the iTunes up until the weekend?
Whilst I wouldn't want Joss to give up the Graphic Novel side of his work entirely, I really do hope that this marks the beginning of a trend in "Video Graphic Novels" er "Video Comics".... maybe... "Videomics" ??
Could be a whole new line of business, led by Mutant Enemy. Place for new writers to try out etc.
What a wonderful 2nd Act. Too many briliant lines to recount :) Am I alone in noticing the Shepherd Book-a-like in the soup kitchen? Classic.
"Captain Hammer through a car at my head..."
b!X, early and compensatory triggering was my hypothesis originally when Act I was made available Tuesday at 12:30a-ish, and it's seeming more likely to me now...
Oh, balls! If so, I get it, but the screencaps & music both are somewhat better on the iTunes version. Plus I'd have it in my greedy little hands, and apparently, I like to own things.
*looks at dusty, unused library card and many bookshelves.*
Ah, well. Some sleep would be a fine thing, too. I'll live.
I agree. this really is wonderful. I was expecting this act to be better than the first because the first act was exposition, good exposition, but still. It did not disappoint.
The Bad Horse singers really do liven things up. I love it when they show up. I mostly hear Joss's voice but wondered if that was because his brother's voices are genetically similar.
Oh, and just for the record, the penis joke was not one of my favorites, so please Joss & Co. don't skip writing all the other good stuff as you travel on. ;-)
I am patiently (not!) waiting for Act II from itunes. This is the first time I've ordered anything from itunes and ordered the pass yesterday. I thought it was supposed to download automatically as long as I'm signed in (which I think I am) but I didn't get an email either. I guess it's not available yet? Still?????
Well bix, I guess it's whatever you read into it and whatever you get out of it :) I'm just one o' them what likes to play 'Spot the Other (Potentially, Could Be, Might Be) Whedon Stuff' in things ;)
I'm pretty sure iTunes wasn't supposed to kick in until Monday so if b!X is right everyone will get Act II in their season pass Monday at 00:01 a.m. Or Sunday at midnight if you prefer.
Oh, wow. When they had that scene in the laundromat, the just-talking one, it felt like I was watching a well-established Whedon TV show. It's like these characters have already become so real... Seeing Moist again too, :).
Love you all J, J, M & Z. It's things like this that make life interesting. Ooooh, and this marks NPH's Whedonverse debut. So now we can officially shower him with adoration, though everyone seems to have been doing that already. ^_^
Okay, I realize that's basically an inside joke with a very small inside, but someone here might should get it.
Good stuff.
How often do I look at my wrist to tell the time... bobw1o | July 17, 05:52 CET
Love IS a pie! Popped into my head too! But a cheesy on the outside kind of pie ... more like a quiche!
There isn't anyhing that I don't like about this project -- except for the waiting for the Dénouement. It's official, "Dr. Horrible" is the must-see panel at Comic-Con! Squeeeee!

I'm so wanna join the Henchman's Union (I think it's Local 666).
Random quote-osity:
"Sometimes people are layered like that."
So true.
Oh, and "Like with pie!"
He said pie! *giggles*
Penny/Doc Duet - heartbreaking...
(Wonder why Doc Horrible twittered "Oh, crap" 5 minutes into it? Maybe his bottle of wine wasn't good?)

Maybe better to have it, "These are not the hammer."
Wait - what was that about Doc twittering "oh crap." Huh?
All of you who are buying it in US iTUnes (that includes me): when do you suppose Act 2 will be up? It ain't now.

Is it the 19th yet? No? Ooh..I think I'll watch again yet. just in case. before it crashes
okelay | July 17, 05:19 CET
And there is pie... and I have a PhD in Horribleness as I want to impress the Thorough Bred of Sin!!!
This is even better than Act 1, it is amazing... and I'm watching again now...

This second act was fabulous, and not in a "wow that was fun" kind of way. In an honest to god incredibly well done kind of way. NPH just knocked this one out of the park, and the songs, while less light, were all steller.
I can't wait for part 3, but more than that, I can't wait to have this all on my shelf next to the Buffy/Angel and Firefly DVDs. It could stand up there easily.
5/5, great work.

Too fraking amazing for words!! Even better than act 1!
Neil Patrick Harris totally nailed it. He was so amazing, especially during the last song.
Felicia was adorable as usual. I loved the duet in the beginning.
Nathan was a scream as usual. I loved his reaction shots on their date. You can tell he wasn't into what she's doing.
The hammer is my p***s!!! So very funny. I about died when he said that.
I have to be up for work in a few hours but this was more than worth missing sleep for. I'm going to have to watch it again.
Great job everyone.

"I got a PHD in horribleness" =P
"So keep your head up, Billy buddy." ... ahwww! ^^
That was cute.
Cap. Hammer is trully an ass.
'It`s a brand new day' ... the beginning was great, with NPH doing that confident face.
And I loved how Penny's picture is clearly a stalker-pic, behind some leafs and all.

Better than act 1, and I could not be any anxious for act 3.

I finally got the Australia bit on the third go-around. I'm a little slow sometimes. It's probably due here to having my brain stunned into silliness by so much awesomeness.

Seriously though - I thought I was blown away by Act I? Felicia's luminous, Nathan's fab as always (and now more than a little creepy), but NPH is just breaking my heart. I mean, it's still funny and sweet and all that, but I'm not the only one who thought the Dr Horrible parts of the first song are bleak right? Gorgeous, but reminding me that it's not just about the funny. And there's awe. Lots and lots of awe :)

And that was only one line! The whole thing was fantastic. And Billy makes me so sad, because I can relate to him so well.
I know that Joss has mentioned sequels, and it's been pretty light so far (but with, as Billy said, layers), but there's a dark enough undercurrent that I can imagine a tragic ending where Billy dies. I mean, like I said, this has been pretty lighthearted so far, but this is Joss we're dealing with.
I'm going to be transcribing the lyrics. As with the first set of lyrics I transcribed, if you want 'em, e-mail me.

I really love the duet at the beginning, but I'm going to go against the grain, and say that on balance I still prefer Act I. "A Man's Got To Do" just blows me away.

"Is it just me, or is Penny dressed kinda like Snow White?"
Yeah, thirding that. I noticed it looked like the same kinda color scheme. Wonder if it was intentional.
Act 2 is awesome, I've watched it three times tonight. Will watch Act 1 and 2 together tomorrow.
My sister got free tickets to the Toronto premiere/press screening of The Dark Knight tonight, so jealous. We're going for the Thursday midnight showing. I watched the animated Gotham Knight tie-in to Nolan's Bat-franchise, comprised of a bunch of shorts, Animatrix-style. The animation in almost all of them was pretty and fun to see, but almost all the stories were dull or slight letdowns. A disappointing project, especially considering the amount of talent behind it, many of whom cut their teeth on writing/producing Batman and other DC-related material previously. It's always great to hear Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne/Batman though, he's the definitive off-page incarnation of him IMO (though it would've made more sense to get the movie actors to voice the animated tie-in, especially with cartoon Bruce Wayne looking like Christian Bale).
Anyway, a new Dr. Horrible act made up for the Gotham Knights suckitude.

But, while I'm excited for Act III, I don't want Saturday to come quickly... I don't want this to be over. :( *waits (im)patiently for DVD already*

Could be a whole new line of business, led by Mutant Enemy. Place for new writers to try out etc.

Oh, balls! If so, I get it, but the screencaps & music both are somewhat better on the iTunes version. Plus I'd have it in my greedy little hands, and apparently, I like to own things.
*looks at dusty, unused library card and many bookshelves.*
Ah, well. Some sleep would be a fine thing, too. I'll live.

The Bad Horse singers really do liven things up. I love it when they show up. I mostly hear Joss's voice but wondered if that was because his brother's voices are genetically similar.
Oh, and just for the record, the penis joke was not one of my favorites, so please Joss & Co. don't skip writing all the other good stuff as you travel on. ;-)

I'll add this to the list which so far consists of "Serenity is hanging in Dr. Horrible's lab" and "those cowboys are a reference to Firefly".
Said list being entitled "Firefly Things That Aren't In Dr. Horrible", of course.
While the guy certainly is black, and he's got some interesting hair, I'm not sure that makes him a "Shepherd Book-a-like".

I guess the huge chair isn't actually little, but...you know.

Love you all J, J, M & Z. It's things like this that make life interesting. Ooooh, and this marks NPH's Whedonverse debut. So now we can officially shower him with adoration, though everyone seems to have been doing that already. ^_^

Hilarious, I was just amazed and laughing.
Regarding the 3rd act: Go Doctor! :)

Okay, I realize that's basically an inside joke with a very small inside, but someone here might should get it.
Good stuff.
How often do I look at my wrist to tell the time...

Love IS a pie! Popped into my head too! But a cheesy on the outside kind of pie ... more like a quiche!
There isn't anyhing that I don't like about this project -- except for the waiting for the Dénouement. It's official, "Dr. Horrible" is the must-see panel at Comic-Con! Squeeeee!
Thank you J, Z, J & M!!
