Dr. Horrible

O my! Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog was absolutely hilarious! It was genius. OK it might not have been that funny, but it was pretty stinkin funny. I loved how it was so serious and so funny at the time. I want to say it took me on an emotional rollercoaster. It makes me excited to read the Waiting for Godet. I read the first 10 pages of it though and it's kind of hard to read. If there was in kind of humor in those pages, I didn't catch them at all. But maybe class discussion will help me with that. But back to the sing along blog. Some of the scenes were really funny and serious. Like when Dr. Horrible actually turned evil and he went to the room where all the evil people had their meetings and what not. It was probably the most serious part of the movie and you were like, "No Dr. Horrible! Don't go!". But anyways at the head of the table they were sitting at was a horse! Not a person, but a horse. To me that was really funny. And also when Dr. Hammer was about to save the girl from being hit by a car. And to save her, he throws her to the side where a bunch of trash bags are. And there was so much more stuff that relates to seriousness and humorous at the same time but I can't think of them right now. I'd have to watch it over again. Which I will probably do. Tragicomedy's like this are probably my favorite to watch. I like watching intense movies and one with a great story line, but if you add humor to it, I think it makes it so much better! Probably because I love laughing. It's one of my hobbies. I also heard that laughing can help headaches. But I have no idea if that's true or not. I'd like to believe its true. But anyways! Ya! Can't wait for Waiting for Godet!

  1. When I first began to watch this I thought it was rediculous, but towards the end I couldn't help but laugh. This is a really weird comparison but last weekend I watched Zombieland. I hate horror movies, but this was so funny at the same time that I forgot all about the scary stuff. I think tragic comedies are a new favorite of mine.

  2. I thought the best part of the movie was Penny dying. Most stories end with everything working out for our protagonist and everyone learns a lesson, and life is now better for everyone in the story, but Dr. Horrible's Sing-along is the opposite of that and that is why I like it. Everything goes wrong at the end.

  3. I was also very amused at dark horse being a literal horse and not the nickname of some human super villain.
