Behold: the trailer for Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog! Watch it. I know it sounds cheesy. I know you hate musicals. Watch it anyway.

If you love Firefly like I love Firefly (and if you don’t know Firefly, shame on you!), watch it for Nathan Fillion – he’s deliciously smarmy and despicable. If you are a fan of Doogie Howser (or not, whatever), watch it for Neil Patrick Harris, who is nothing short of brilliant. If you’re one of those psychotic Joss Whedon fans (which I am NOT – sorry) … well, then you probably knew about this long before I did, so never mind. Watch it because it’s part of an important movement in intellectual property rights and freedom on the internet. I don’t care. Just watch it – it’s good and it will make you laugh. And we could all use more of that these days.

It’s available to view free online at DrHorrible.com. Better yet, fork over the $6 to buy it at the iTunes Store and help fund the future of unfettered creativity.

Okay, climbing off my soapbox now.

If you’ve never watched Wired Science, What’s Inside is the best segment.
