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. Â
“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.
You can pre-order the DVD HERE.
