Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

I love Joss Whedon.  As should everyone.  He has yet another amazing idea/show that he made.  It's called Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog.  What is fantastic about this project is that he is posting the whole thing online for free before he sells it on DVD.  This online musical stars Neil Patrick Harris (who steals every scene in HIMYM),  Nathan Fillion (a Joss Whedon favorite from Buffy and Firefly), and Felicia Day (don't know her as much, but she was on Buffy).  It's the story of a lowly supervillain (Harris), the hero who harasses him (Fillion), and the girl he's afraid to talk to (Day).   The teaser trailer is more awesome than anyone could expect.  The musical is going to premier in three parts.

(according to Joss Whedon's master plan)

ACT ONE (Wheee!) will go up Tuesday July 15

ACT TWO (OMG!) will go up Thursday July 17

ACT THREE (Denouement!) will go up Saturday July 19

All of these episodes will be online until midnight July 20.  Then it will be available for downloading (small fee) shortly thereafter with a DVD "with the finest and bravest extras in all the land".  For updates about the whole thing go here.  I'm going to be on vacation this week...but I may have to hunt down an internet connection just for this.

Terminator 4 Casting

So it seems, according to Empire, it's possible that Helena Bonham Carter could be in the new Terminator 4 movie.  I love her.  She can do crazy well (see HP Order of Pheonix or Sweeney Todd) and she can do loving (see Charlie & Chocolate Factory or Wallace & Gromit).  I'm interested in seeing what kind of character she would do in this movie.  I'm excited about this movie, even though I haven't seen the third one because the whole series seems to be in a remake mode.  There's the new Sarah Connor Chronicles tv series, which I love (yay for Summer Glau being back on TV), and this new movie has Christian Bale as John Connor.  I'm pretty sure that won't be a mistake; anyone would follow him in an apocalypse.
