The eleventh track of Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog's Commentary: The Musical, Heart (Broken). Main Parts by Joss Whedon, Backing by Jed and Zack Whedon and Maurissa Tancharoen. Lyrics: Joss: A caveman painted on a cave, It was a bison, t'was a fave, The other cavepeople would rave. They didn't ask "Why?" Why paint a bison if it's dead? When did you chose the color red? What was the process in your head? He told their story, What came before he didn't show, We're not supposed to-- Homer's Odyssey was swell, A bunch of guys that went through hell, He told the tale but didn't tell, the audience why. He didn't say, "Here's what it means" And "Here's a few deleted scenes" "Charybdis tested well with teens" He's not the story, He's just a door we open if, our lives ne...

Love it or hate it, BATMAN V SUPERMAN is canon in the DCEU, and is a launching off point for the future of the franchise. Zack Snyder dropped the ball in a number of ways with the film, but WB has done the right thing by boosting Ben Affleck to Executive Producer, and allowing him to oversee the script rewrites and post-production of JUSTICE LEAGUE. WB has essentially made Affleck the Joss Whedon of the DCEU...and that is a very good thing. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/ben-affleck-elevated-justice-league-891514?utm_source=twitter ► Support me on Patreon - http://patreon.com/MundaneMatt ► Help me get new gear with Amazon! http://amzn.to/1TNr1E8 ► One time Paypal Donation - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted;_button_id=DYJ3WP46USJJE Subscribe here:...

Song is Slipping from Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog, by Joss Whedon, Jed Whedon, Zack Whedon, and Maurissa Tancharoen. Clips from the BBC's Doctor Who. No Arthur this time. Sorry guys!

Joss Whedon is the middle of five brothers - his younger brothers are Jed Whedon and Zack Whedon. Both his father, Tom Whedon and his grandfather, John Whedon were successful television writers. Joss' mother, Lee Stearns, was a history teacher and she also wrote novels as Lee Whedon. Whedon was raised in New York and was educated at Riverdale Country School, where his mother also taught.
I directed this in the spring of my junior year, and to date it is still the only show I've directed. We rehearsed for 3 weeks and performed 7 shows over 3 days. Zack Whedon wrote on the wall of our Facebook page and that was thrilling. On the last night we had to turn away 40 people at the door. :) Filmed and edited by Allison Rock [People involved: Let me know if you want me to put your youtube channel up in the description] [Also, we did pay for rights to do this but the contact was made through our film department, from whence Joss Whedon is an alumnus, and according to Whedonesque they are no longer considering rights requests for it, possibly because of Plans] *** Second Stage Presents: Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog With Music and Lyrics by Jed Whedon, Joss Whedon and Maurissa ...
Premiering on August 31, 1941, The Great Gildersleeve moved the title character from the McGees' Wistful Vista to Summerfield, where Gildersleeve now oversaw his late brother-in-law's estate and took on the rearing of his orphaned niece and nephew, Marjorie (originally played by Lurene Tuttle and followed by Louise Erickson and Mary Lee Robb) and Leroy Forester (Walter Tetley). The household also included a cook named Birdie. Curiously, while Gildersleeve had occasionally spoken of his (never-present) wife in some Fibber episodes, in his own series the character was a confirmed bachelor. In a striking forerunner to such later television hits as Bachelor Father and Family Affair, both of which are centered on well-to-do uncles taking in their deceased siblings' children, Gildersleeve was a...
