w00kie’s ramblings

Joss Whedon's pet project, in answer to the writer's guild nonsense, came out yesterday: Dr. Horrible's sing-along blog. A mini-series exclusively for internet and for free, done on the cheap with his friends.

It's a mix between Pinky and the Brain, Mistery Men and a video blog, executed musical-style. It's brilliant, especially since I was a big Doogie Howser fan as a kid (Neil Patrick Harris) and burned through Whedon's Firefly series in a straight 2-days stand.

Act 2 will come out July 17th and Act 3 on July 19th. Catch it while it lasts!

Here's this month's Japanese TV comedy craze. I see him on TV almost every night.

I have to admit it, I laughed my ass off the first time.

Shamelessly stolen from Japanprobe, I present you the latest hit on Japanese television, the commercials for the DVD release of 24 Season 6.

It's stuck in my head since last weekend, I love it! Check out the Japanprobe link for a translation of the lyrics.
