Dr. Horrible vorbestellbar
Bei Amazon.com. Und zwar mit 19. Dezember als Relesaedate (pretty knapp, huh?). Wegen internationalem Versand dürfte sich das nie und nimmer für uns hier ausgehen mit Weihnachten, aber da kann sich ja noch was tun. Hier, was Joss zum ganzen zu sagen hat:
Well, my turkey (or, in some cases, tofurkey) stuffed friends, we literally just put the finishing touches on the disc. Is it worth fifteen hard-earned dollars? Absolutely. In fact, I can say without reservation that the Dr. Horrible DVD is worth $15.23 EASILY. More, if your dollars weren't the hard-earned kind, just the kind you have lying around in your mom's purse. God knows WE'VE worked hard to earn 'em. "Commentary! The Musical" is the most painstaking and exhausting piece of whimsey I have ever mistaken for a good idea. It has nearly twice as much music as Dr. Horrible itself -- since you can't really talk that much during a commentary musical or it sounds like a regular commentary. (Which we also have, with the stars and writers, plus making-of's, ELE applications, and a few items left lying around by a notorious Bunny...) I can say without hesitation that I hesitate to say it's great. And by great I mean ridiculous. It's sophmoric, solopsistic, silly and the most fun I've had being exhausted since the fabled Mushortio itself. And everyone sings beautifullly. Which enrages me. I a little bit hate my friends now.
The listed street date is, by the way, a little later than we'd expected -- I'm hoping Amazon is just playing it safe and we can beat that date. More on that as we learn it. Expect a twittering sensation.
Finally, I just want to say "thank you" to everybody who has supported this venture. We've been able to pay our crew and all our bills, which means a lot. What means more is proving that completely independent ventures can muscle their way through the blizzard of big-budget behemoths. (A blizzard of behemoths? Back to writing school, alliteration-junkie!) All that rhetoric about the future of entertainment that flew about during the Strike is still entirely true. We need to find our own way of producing entertainment. A lot of people are watching Dr. Horrible to see if it's any kind of model -- way more people than I expected -- and it means everything to me to help pave the way for artists to start working and making a living from the ground up. There are a couple of real pioneers in this that I know personally: Felicia Day, I'm thrilled to say, and choreographer Chris Elam are both looking far ahead in terms of monetization and interactivity. Me, I'm more like Jimmy Stewart in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", but at least I'm out there. Thanks, he finally summed up, to you.
My story has become tiresome! But wait till you hear the songs.
Did we cover "silly"...?
Heißt das Dr. Horrible ist jetzt schon, vor der DVD, auf Null? Wahnsinn!
Und dazu der whedonesque-Kommentar des Tages:
o/`
Now the wishlist's real
Now Dr. Horrible is here
On a brand new DVD
With Nathan, Felicia, and Neil
(everything you ever)
And I will watch
whole thing
o/`
Edit: Und sie hören nicht auf:
Bad Horse!
DVD, DVD, DVD, DVD.
It will spread across the nation,
In a DVD-a-thon.
So go ahead and order it,
At your Amazon.
It needs time for shipping
So let the wait begin,
It will be great, a tour de force
The extras will be nice of course.
DVD, DVD, DVD, almost!
Dr Horrible will be out
Three weeks from now, they swear.
Soon you could be holding it,
Assuming that you dare
So make the Whedons gleeful
And order up a pair
It's in your cart,
You're at check-out,
Just one more click,
Don't miss out!
Brand New!
Buying this is a moral dilemma 'cause at first
Amazon take so long to deliver, they're the worst
I'd be happy to wait for another shop, it's true
But I don't think there'll be one, so bother, stuff and poo
Yet I'll be alright
It's a brand new disc and our spirits high
Might be a recession, but we're going buy
Lots of shiny extras and some evil guys
It's a brand new disc!
My Eyes!
Any Whedon fan you meet
Can see that Amazon is such a treat.
'Cause they sell the DVD
That has the dopest melodies
Since we saw Buffy with the demon Sweet.
Listen close to everybody's mouse
And hear that clicking sound.
Whedonites are not leaving the house
'Til postman comes around.
I cannot believe my eyes
How I wait for my Christmas prize.
But my fifteen bucks
Combat a world that sucks. Now just add fries.
Eins, das ich echt nicht erkenne!
"Will it be a region-free
for foreigners who need it?
We will ask and we will beg
and we will even plead it.
I don't care myself you see
for I am the right region
but for those now overseas
(their numbers are now legion)
They will want it now as well
they will not want to wait
they will pay some extra cost
and even extra freight."
Edit 2: Ist schon auf Platz 1 der Shakers und auf Platz 53 der allgemeinen Movies & TV Amazon-Charts.
Edit 3: Und ein Behind the scenes Video gibt's auch noch.

Will it be a region-free, for foreigners who need it? We will ask and we will beg and we will even plead it.

I love you, man!
