Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog

One of my favorite Sci-Fi writers, Joss Whedon wrote and produced this musical blog about an aspiring super villian, Dr. Horrible (played by the awesome Neil Patrick Harris) and his obsession with the girl of his dreams. Whedon regular, Nathon Fillion (who rules btw) plays Dr. Horrible’s arch-nemesis, Captain Hammer. The ADORABLE Felicia Day, also familiar to Whedon fans, plays Dr Horrible’s love interest. This video is very entertaining. Watch it soon, it’s only available online for a limited time!

Wall-E – First Family Movie

We went on our first family movie outing this Sunday to see Wall-E at Mission Valley. I love that Cinema. I still remember seeing Return of the Jedi there when in came out in ’83. It’s a locally owned theater, and I enjoy supporting local businesses. But I digress. The boys did great at the movie. Surprisingly, Connor was the quietest and most patient. He sat through the whole movie with very little complaining. He just stared at the screen with his chin rested on his hand, and enjoyed the movie. Liam was very well behaved too, but toward the end of the movie he started getting restless, and said he wanted to go home. Chrissy say him on her lap, and we finished the movie without further incident. The movie was great. I think it’s my #2 favorite Pixar movie, with The Incredibles still at #1. #3 would have to be Finding Nimo, but all 3 of these movies are separeted by a very narrow margin. I highly recommend you see Wall-E if you’re a Pixar fan. It’s one of their best.
