“Dr Horrible” Coming on DVD December 19

Just in time for Christmas, Joss Whedon’s popular “Doctor Horrible’s Sing Along Blog” will be for sale on Amazon on December 19.  The DVD retails for $14.99 but is currently pre-selling for $13.49.

Over the weekend, Whedon told readers at Whedonesque that the DVD would be worth their hard earned money.

“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,” he wrote.  

“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,” Whedon said.
