the world is a mess and I just need to rule it

Okay, for anyone who has not seen it, check out Doctor Horrible's Sing-along Blog. You can find links for the downloads all over the place, on lj and elsewhere.

I loooved it. Adorable! It was fantastic with the exception of Captain Hammer. I love Nathan Fillion, but I felt like Hammer was too over the top, though it wasn't entirely his fault. Joss was a little heavy-handed with the silliness for Hammer, and I didn't feel like he fit into the show the same way the other characters did. I didn't care for Hammer. But I looooooooved Neil Patrick Harris as Dr Horrible, and Felicia Day was adorable, too. And everyone else involved in Horrible was like a little Joss Whedon yearbook, with the costume designer from Firefly, and David Fury and Marti Noxon as the anchorpeople (they were executives on Buffy and Angel). Yays. Loved it. Dr Horrible <3.

...the hammer is my penis.

Perhaps Joss was a little too ham-handed with writing the part, and Nathan Fillion hammed it up even more? Maybe I'm looking too far into this just to find a play on words, but I wouldn't put it past Joss, who might love cheese more than I do. Either way, Dr. Horrible was a delicious ham and cheese sandwich. I think it's time for lunch.

ALSO! I found and thought you would enjoy this video of Neil Patrick Harris with the cast of "How I Met Your Mother" on some talk show. He sings the Confrontation as Javert with one of his co-stars who also has Les Mis on the brain as Valjean, and it is a sweet awesome thing of musical geekery.

I have a feeling that my viewing of Dr. Horrible would have been enhanced with you pointing out all the cameos.
