DR. Horrible

Thursday, Oct. 30, 2008
Listening to: "Once More with Feeling" - Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The MUSICAL
Watching: Heroes, Dr. Horrible, and ER
Reading: The Princess Bride & Good Things - Mia King

Joss Whedon released three mini episodes of a heart-felt, utterly wonderful, low budget musical progect called Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog. It stars Neil Patrick Harris (who I am thoroughly enjoying in his new-found coolness) as Dr. Horrible, a villian who is struggling to be taken seriously by the Evil League of Evil. Things get worse when is arch nemesis Captain Hammer (played brilliantly by Nathan Fillion) steals the girl that Dr. Horrible has a major crush on. Hurry up and watch the three episodes at drhorrible.com
Also if you get the chance, Joss' other musical - Once More with Feeling, The Buffy Muscial - Season 6 Episode 7.
Well gotta go,

Linnea's Must Sees - Movies

Wednesday, Oct 15, 2008
These are in no real order. I love movies so much that I can't choose which is the best. Just check it out.



I could watch this movie a thousand times and laugh every time. I love the chemistry between Hugh Grant and Sandra Bullock.

I thought it was cleaver when it came out. Kevin Spacey was amazing in this role. I think it is a testament to what happens when no one really talks to each other. American Suburbs at their worst.

Die Hard - All four. I love Bruce Willis - and I love John Mac Lane. I think Kevin Smith in the final Die Hard is hysterical. I am can watch these repeatedly.

A gay movie but a great love story about friends. The friendships in this movie are wonderful. It begs the question, why are we friends? Also has some wonderful thoughts on romantic relationships
I love the Beatles. This is a nice mix of music and love.

OKAY, Anglina Jolie, Ryan Phillippe, Sean Connery, Gena Roland, Gillian Anderson, Dennis Quaid, Jon Stewart, Jay Morh, Anthony Edwards, and more, need i say more. This movie has every relationship and it is amazingly written.

Chuck Palahniuk's novel of the same name inspired a truely twisted story of how men deal with each other. It has to be one of my favorites becasue the writing is so great and the story is fun - everytime.

Wonderful writing. I think Ellen Page is awesome. The story of teenage pregnacy taken to a new extreme.


I love this movie mostly for the love story between Colin Firth's Charitor and this forigen lover. It is so sweet. It is nice that they say the same thing but don't understand each other. AHHH love.

This is my all time favorite movie. I love Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan in this movie. The writing is spot on. The relationship is delightful. Can men and women truely be friends? CAN THEY?

10. Amazing writing - I don't like Sarah Michelle Gellar but I love the writing. I would recommend it to anyone. It is nice to see a strong female. And lets face it Angel and Spike are worth the whole show. IF you like Buffy, watch Angel and Fire Fly - also great.


9. If you can keep up with the odd story it is amazing. If you don't like to be confused... don't watch.


8. hopefully it will be back for season 2. Cleaver, and new.


7. this was a surprise to me. It is odd as most of my favorites are, but this just silly fun. The fact the love interests cant touch or death will ensue makes me giggle.


6. I am a huge fan of Hugh Laurie. I think there is something to be said about an angry bitter man who saves lives but doesn't find joy in it. He only finds joy in the puzzle.


5. Let us believe that any show that mixes musical numbers, God and George Michael is going to be one of Linnea's Favorites!!!


4. AMAZING. If you like an intelligent laugh - this is it.

3. final season. Okay, I have seen all 15 seasons so it seems only right that ER would be in my top 10.


2. I have been a fan since it's beginning. Another intelligent show, but this one has a crime twist. Also it has an anthropologist who doesn't understand people and a cop who doesn't understand science....what a great combo.


1.Ok ay I am a dork. I love Sci-fi and i like comics. This is a great blend of both AND it has hot guys in it.
