Living the Fictional Dream

If you haven’t seen this, you really need to. You really, really need to.

The world’s first super-villain musical. If you like the stories at A Thousand Faces, you’ll like this. If you like any of the shows in the Joss Whedon universe (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly), you’ll like this (Joss does great stuff with lyrics — just think of “Once More With Feeling”).

I think humor is the most difficult thing to write successfully, and Joss is great at it. And what always blows my mind, both as a writer and a fan, is how he can lace the humor through the drama and get this whole complete story, but with amazing layers.

So, musings on writing and a viewing recommendation in one blog entry. Bonus, huh? Enjoy!
