Yesterday I ran across Joss Whedon’s (creator and writer of television series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, “Angel” & “Firefly”) Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog (starring Neil Patrick Harris) and I have to say that it is funny in an odd way…that’s to say if you like The Tick, Mystery Men or anything Tim Burton this should be right up your alley.

Here’s the schedule:

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

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

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

All acts will stay up until midnight Sunday July 20th. Then they will vanish into the night, like a phantom.

Be sure to check it out before its gone.  But of course, a DVD release is planned and you can purchase it via iTunes (if their servers are working).

I’m not a big fan of award shows in general since I’m not into watching the rich-and-famous sipping champagne in fancy clothing while slapping each other on the rears and high-fiving each other on their “accomplishments” for the year…but more importantly I’m not sure where they come up with the nominees and how they select the winners AND why there seem to be so many of these things. And which of the awards is “better” to receive?

But even the one hour, non-star-laced presentation this evening could not capture my attention as they lost me when they kept talking about shows and movies I’d never even heard of (apparently this is because I have no idea what’s on the “pay” cable channels).

Anyway, here’s the list of Golden Globe winners for this year. If it were up to me Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Pushing Daisies would have swept the awards, but at least Sweeney won a few. And of the short animation list, Ratatouille was the best of the bunch (even though I did like The Simpsons Movie).
