Dr. Horrible

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

If you watch tv, then you’ve no doubt noticed the complete absence of new content which infests the summer months. For a little reprieve, check out Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, a 15 minute, low-budget side project by Joss Whedon (the creator of “Firefly” and the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”, and writer of the under-rated movie with the same name).

New episodes on Thursday and Saturday. Free until Sunday.

Penny Arcade and The Daily Show

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

Jeff introduced me to Penny Arcade when we were both in high school. I don’t remember when exactly, but I vividly remember this reading this comic, and thinking that I related to it a bit too much (sorry Whitney).

It was about the same time that Craig Kilborn left The Daily Show. Kilborn was a better anchor than Jon Stewart. You might disagree, but that’s ok, I’m sure you’re wrong about a lot of things. Kilborn was always deadpan, like Stephen Colbert is today. He never let on that the show was a joke. You’ve got to give him props for that.

Stewart is just a standup comic that sits in anchor’s chair. And now he seems to have ripped off a joke from Penny Arcade.
