Joss Whedon continues to be a genius. Seems to run in the family, in fact (his brothers appear to have worked with him on this one).
It’s a musical, and today may be the last day you can watch it for free online.
Neil Patrick Harris does a fantabulous job as Dr. Horrible, and the songs are really good.
The Thin Man Movies
There are six (here, here, here, here, here, and here), though the first three are probably the best. They were the ones whose stories Dashiell Hammett actually wrote.
Comedic film noir, in a way.
Nick and Nora’s relationship is hilarious — and sweet. But mainly hilarious. In the dry humor sort of way.
William Powell and Myrna Loy play them perfectly. And three actors from my favorite movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, appear in three of the films:
Jimmy Stewart (in After the Thin Man), Donna Reed (in Shadow of the Thin Man), and Gloria Grahame (in Song of the Thin Man).
