pacificlectic : concert reviews & eclectic music news

Three mostly-unrelated motion picture entertainment awesomenessess from this week…

Joss Whedon‘s Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along Blog is now live. Act 1 was online (and on iTunes) on July 15th, Act 2 came out yesterday (July 17th), and the endcap Act 3 comes out tomorrow (July 19th)… all episodes are in the 13-minute range (40-ish minutes total). It features Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser, M.D.) and Nathan Fillion (Capt. Tightpants from Firefly / Serenity). It’s great so far… I’m looking forward to how it turns out tomorrow…

Wil Wheaton likes it; so you know it’s gotta be grood. I mean good… and great. It’s a fun, musical romp a la Joss‘s Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More with Feeling musical episode.

Next up… Jack Black and School of Rock 2. Per this Paste Magazine blog, the plans for a sequel are underway. Woot.

Oh, and in other Jack Black news (and Ben Stiller / Robert Downey Jr)… Tropic Thunder looks like it’ll be a fun (but quite silly) movie…
