At the risk of incurring the wrath of pretty much 99.999% of the internet fandom, this TV Addict is just going to say it. Are Joss Whedon fans drinking the Kool-aid? Don’t get me wrong, I love the guy as much as the next Browncoat. But does the first part of DR. HORRIBLE , Joss Whedon’s just launched internet musical featuring the likes of Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion ... [link]

... . Act III goes live on Saturday. Have you watched it? What do you think? Cause, the buzz going around about part two is that it is better than the first. So far, I must be in the minority, as I just don’t get it. Is it supposed to be funny? Cause I haven’t laughed yet. It is mildly amusing at times, but that’s it.

I haven't been terribly excited about the Wonder Woman direct-to-DVD movie, not least because all the art I've seen from it has looked bland and unexciting. But this early version of the Wonder Woman poster, which director Lauren Montgomery posted on her blog, totally works for me.
