Does anybody besides me think they look alike? I mean, not a whole lot, but at least a little? (Christopher Masterson played Francis on Malcolm in the Middle and probably some other stuff that I'm too lazy to look up)
Speaking of Neil Patrick Harris, as you may already know, he has recently been in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, a comedy-musical(I guess that's what you could call it. That or maybe a...musidy...? You know, like a dramady...?) created especially for the internet(although I think it's coming out on DVD in the future). The "movie" itself is broken up into 3 Acts all clocking in at about 13-15 minutes, making the whole thing only about 41 minutes, so it's not feature-lengthed or anything, but it's long enough.
Anyway, along with NPH, it also stars Felicia Day(from the awesome YouTube-based sitcom-type thing about a bunch of WoW players called The Guild, and she was also in a Cheetos commercial) and Nathan Fillion(I don't know him), and was directed by Joss Whedon(of Buffy the Vampire Slayer), with music by both Joss and Jed Whedon.
Now, I'm not normally a fan of musicals, but I really liked this. I mean, from the musicals I've seen, they just suddenly break out into song for no apparent reason, and when the song is over, they're right back where they started. With DrHS-AB, they actually furthered the plot while in song, so it almost justified it as being a musical. It also didn't hurt that the songs were catchy, and a few different genres, and not all totally retarded love songs.
If you haven't figured it out yet, I loved DrHS-AB. There was just one main flaw, though, and that is the ending. The ending kinda sucked. And by ending, I mean ending. Like, literally, the last half-second. I don't want to spoil it, but at the very end, after it ends, you're just like, "WTF, what happened?! Or did that even happen at all?!" I doubt they will, but I really hope they make a sequel. I really liked this, and if you can get over the ending being pretty unsatisfying, this is a really great...movie(?).
To see DrHS-AB, you can either buy each act for $1.99, or buy all 3 and pay $4.99, therefore saving a dollar, or you can see it on Hulu.com for free, but you can't download it(at least I don't think so, and if you can, I'm sure it's not legal).
