Would You Watch a Web Musical About a Super-Villain?

As you may have already heard, Neil Patrick Harris stars in a new web-exclusive video. Here's how the creator, Joss Whedon, describes the 40-minute musical:

"Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog is the (true) story of Dr. Horrible (wow, really?), a low-rent super-villain trying to get into the Evil League of Evil, defeat his boorish nemesis, Captain Hammer, and win the girl of his dreams, Penny (or at least talk to her). It was directed by Joss 'me' Whedon, and written by... oh let's not get bogged down in the details."

Although normally $4 on iTunes, Hulu.com is offering the video for free for this week only.  Check it out here on Blog Stage.
