An interesting piece of trivia is that pretty much the...
A short list of things that are awesome:
Joss Whedon’s series of 3 short films titled Dr. Horrible’s Sing-A-Long Blog starring Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion. A kind of musical Venture Brothers.
The Choke trailer… see above.
The Foggy Monocle
Cookie Jar (Feat. The Dream) - Gym Class...
