Over at UGO, Jordan Hoffman makes a pretty compelling case for the idea that The Smurfs is a gay-friendly flick that's kid-friendly, too. He notes that many people in the cast are openly gay (Neil Patrick Harris), or openly gay-allied (like Katy Perry, who sings about kissing girls). The plot revolves around fashion, and features gay icons like Tim Gunn, Paul Reubens, Joan Rivers and Alan Cumming. More »

Just how musical is Joss Whedon? Apparently musical enough to give fans who'll end up buying the planned DVD version of his new, weird vanity project Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog an entirely new set of songs to accompany the 42-minute short movie.

The first teaser trailer for Joss Whedon's Internet musical Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog has gone online, and it's every bit as fantastic as we'd expected. Neil Patrick Harris does the loser-supervillain thing the way Buffy's nerd trio only wished they could, and the goggles are spot-on perfect. Suddenly I'm wishing that Joss would direct the movie version of Austin Grossman's supervillain comic epic Soon I Will Be Invincible. [Whedonesque, via Underwire] More »

Joss Whedon's cyber-musical, Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog, could arrive as soon as July, before San Diego Comic-Con (July 24th) according to Underwire's quick word with Felicia Day. As we reported, Dr. Horrible is a three-part web series where an ill-adjusted villain tries to win the girl, and acceptance into the League of Evil. Neil Patrick Harris has been cast for the lead singing role of Dr. Horrible, Felicia Day is the lovely lass of the laundromat, and Nathan Fillion plays his nemesis Captain Hammer. "We got this amazing crew," Whedon told SciFi Wire. "Everybody just sort of said, 'We'll just jump on,' and in six days we shot this 36-minute, three-part oddity, which I think is the most fun I've had in about seven years."
