Jun 26 2008 The 'Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog' Trailer I Refuse to Watch

Thus far, I've irrationally avoided the majority of Joss Whedon's work for the sole reason that Entertainment Weekly covered most of it so heavily. My roommate in college had a subscription, and I got really annoyed flipping through so many articles about Buffy. Friends who love Firefly tell me this is a stupid reason to avoid Whedon's work, and that Firefly is very enjoyable, but I have still resisted. Fuck 'em.

Now Whedon has another work for me to stubbornly, pointlessly avoid: Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, a three-part web series starring Neil Patrick Harris, still riding high on his How I Met Your Mother/Harold and Kumar/Old Spice ad fame, and there's a trailer.

And the answer to such a profound query? Ride a unicorn down from the heavens, then probably record the incident in primitive word-processing software.

At least now we know.

Aug 17 2007 Harold And Kumar 2 Teaser Trailer

The teaser trailer for Harold and Kumar 2 is online, and the plot outline is that they're running from authorities who suspect them of being terrorists after they try to sneak a bong on board their flight to Amsterdam. Sound stupid? Of course. But who cares, because Doogie Howser is back and reprising his role as, well, Doogie Howser. If they can somehow work in Scott Baio playing Scott Baio, this thing will win all sorts of Academy Awards. Wait, they have a category for "Best Use Of TV Actors Who Used To Be Famous But Now Aren't Famous" right?
