Project For Awesome
Tomorrow, December 17th, is Project For Awesome on YouTube. YouTubers make videos about their favorite charities. Then the YouTube community pulls together to comment on and rate the charity-related videos so that they end up on the Most-Discussed and Most-Viewed pages on YouTube to raise awareness (and hopefully some money) for charities.
Last year, Project for Awesome videos took over YouTube for the day. I didn't spend a lot of time on YouTube then so I didn't know about it. I'm looking forward to participating this year, though, by rating and commenting on videos.
The Project is headed by John Green, Hank Green (aka the vlogbrothers) and Alan Lastfuka (aka Monday on the Five Awesome Guys). Check out Project for Awesome's site and keep an eye on YouTube on Wednesday.

Watchmen Trailer
The Movie Blog posted a new Watchmen trailer yesterday. It's pretty similar to the last trailer with a few extra shots in it. Still looks amazing. Still can't wait to see it.
Which reminds me that I wanted to reread the graphic novel...

Horrible Update
Newteevee.com has a great review up for Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog with information about the special features on the DVD, including the winning applications for the Evil League of Evil.
I've seen a bunch of applications on YouTube the past two months, but the Final Straw is my favorite. He's an off-beat villain perfect for the League with lyrics like:
I am the the hangnail that consumes you
I'm the paper cut of doom.
and:
Not a glory hound attention hog who needs to make a splash
and hold a city hostage
for a briefcase full of cash.
I hope he's one of the winners.

New Terminator Salvation Trailer
The Movie Blog has the new trailer up for Terminator Salvation and it looks awesome, as do the previous trailers.
I love the Terminator movies. I love the concept. I love the world.
But I'm not sure I like Christian Bale as John Connor. No doubt Bale is an incredible actor. He's awesome in The Dark Knight. He was fantastic in The Prestige. But he sounds like Batman in the trailer.
If Bale mixes that gravely, harsh voice into John Connor, that could ruin the whole movie for me. John Connor is tough but not in the same sense as Batman, and he doesn't have to disguise who he is. There's no reason to use that voice. Maybe I've just grown too attached to Thomas Dekker's portrayal of John in The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
I'm going to see Terminator Salvation in May regardless, but I don't want to hear the Batman voice in it.

Dr. Horrible on DVD
Dr. Horrible is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com. (The release date is December 19.) The original price was $14.99, and it was reduced to $13.49, so it must be selling well. That's definitely good news.
Amazon is going to post a list of the special features, but I know there's a musical commentary, a regular commentary, behind the scenes clips, and the winning applications for the Evil League of Evil.
I can't wait for the DVD, and I hope Joss Whedon and company make some kind of sequel.
The incredible thing is, there's no advertising for Dr. Horrible outside of the internet. People involved in Dr. Horrible, especially Neil Patrick Harris, have talked about it in interviews, but no TV spots, no movie trailers...I don't know of any magazine ads.
Joss Whedon accomplished something huge with Dr. Horrible. He proved you can make quality entertainment without Hollywood studios. I hope more fantastic work comes out of it.
