Charity Screening of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog and The Guild

Posted in Appearances, Charity Event, Web Series on October 13, 2010| 1 Comment »

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog

In just a little over two weeks, Halloween will arrive with all its gore and horror; its tricks and treats. One specific treat for which I am anticipating is the Third Annual Halloween Screening of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog and The Guild (Season Three) Charity Event conducted by Whedonopolis.

What is Whedonopolis, you ask? They are a subsidiary of Fandom Charities (more on them below) dedicated to promoting the Whedonverse (yes, Joss Whedon of Buffy, Angel, Firefly and Dollhouse fame – just to name a few) and everyone involved in it, whether it is cast, crew, writers, directors, producers, what have you. The folks behind Whedonopolis feel it is their job to help fans keep track of all that is going on with the people who made the fictional universes created by Joss and loved by people the world over.

One of the ways they “spread the love” (so to speak) is by holding the aforementioned charity screening each Halloween. They have been holding these events for the past few years in honor of the internet phenomenon known as Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog for which Joss created along with his brothers Zack and Jed and Jed’s (then fiancée now wife) Maurissa Tancharoen as well as the popular comedy web series known as The Guild, which comes from the talented mind of actress Felicia Day.

For those unfamiliar with either of these internet series, here is a synopsis on each (thanks to IMDB and the websites for each web series for the details):

Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is, of course, about Dr. Horrible aka Billy (Neil Patrick Harris), an aspiring super villain with his own video blog who is attempting to join the prestigious Evil League of Evil, which is led by the legendary “thoroughbred of sin”, Bad Horse, but his plans are usually foiled by the egotistical superhero Captain Hammer (Nathan Fillion).

Billy’s life, er rather Dr. Horrible’s life is thrown for a loop when he falls in love with Penny (Felicia Day), a beautiful and optimistic advocate for the homeless who he meets at the laudromat. Unfortunately, his life is complicated even further when Penny begins to date Captain Hammer after he seemingly saves her life.

Faced with the task of impressing the League while desperately trying to win back the girl of his dream and overcome his own incompetence, Dr. Horrible sets out to ruin the day, kill the hero and get the girl.

You can visit both the official Dr. Horrible Sing-Along Blog website here and you can also visit the official fan site here.

The Guild Cast (in Costume)

Meanwhile, The Guild is an independent sitcom web series about a group of online gamers. Each season has followed the members of The Knights of Good in their lives both online and offline. The series stars Felicia Day as Codex, Jeff Lewis as Vork, Sandeep Parikh as Zaboo, Vincent Caso as Bladezz, Amy Okuda as Tinkerballa and Robin Thorsen as Clara. Each episode has a running time of between 3 to 8 minutes in length with approximately 10 to 12 episodes each season.

You can learn more about The Guild here.

NOTE: For some quick fun, you can see the music video that was done by Felicia Day and the cast of The Guild called Do You Want to Date My Avatar here.

As for this year’s charity event, it has moved a new location: the Beverly Garland Holiday Inn in Studio City (California) but is still being held on Halloween, well, actually this year on Halloween Eve – October 30 at 8 PM. The doors, however, open at 6 PM and tickets are $25.00 per person. Buttons, raffle tickets (for what are always great prizes) and posters can be purchased at this event and sodas and popcorn will be provided. Attendees are welcome to dress as their favorite character from Dr. Horrible, The Guild or any superhero or character of their choice. It is also acceptable to simply dress comfortably in jeans and a t-shirt.

You can learn all about the event and how to purchase your tickets (if you haven’t done so already) here.

Fandom Charities is a non-profit organization established for the purpose of raising funds for charitable organizations through fandom events, conventions, special appearances and media events, and to serve as a hub for the latest news and happenings in the creative universe of selected fandoms and to provide related educational activities. You can learn more about Fandom Charities here.

If you are attending, look for one of the many Captain Hammer fans, wearing his face emblazoned on red or blue t-shirts, sporting pigtails with a rowdy group of vampire-loving fans, as that will be me and my group of friends. Hope to see you there!

Upcoming Paley Center for Media Events

Posted in Appearances, Paley Center, Television on October 10, 2010| Leave a Comment »

The Paley Center for Media – both in Los Angeles and New York – will be presenting some interesting panels next month. For those of you in Los Angeles, the following two events are upcoming:

The cast and crew of the USA Network series Royal Pains will participate in a panel on November 8. The featured panels are cast members Mark Feuerstein, Paulo Costanzo, Jill Flint and Reshma Shetty and Executive Producers Michael Rauch and Andrew Lenchewski.

The show, which returns on January 20 with all new episodes, is about idealistic New York emergency room doctor Hank Lawson (Feuerstein) who is unjustly fired from his job, ending up in the Hamptons with his pleasure-seeking accountant brother Evan (Costanzo). There he ends up as a concierge doctor to the rich and richer with his own physician’s assistant Divya (Shetty) and an on-again, off-again girlfriend in the form of local hospital administrator Jill (Flint).

There might still be tickets available for this event here. Members are $10 while the general public is $15.

A few days later, on November 10, a special reunion will be held. The event is called One from the Hart: A Hart to Hart Reunion will be featured with guest panelist being none other than the perennially leads of the much-beloved 1980’s series Stefanie Powers and Robert Wagner.

The series, created by Sidney Sheldon, was about millionaire business executive Jonathan Hart (Wagner) and his freelance journalist wife, Jennifer (Powers) who worked as amateur detectives. Running for five seasons on ABC, the series remained popular through eight reunion movies.

If you would like to see if there are any tickets still available, please visit here. Again, tickets for members are $10 and tickets for the general public are $15.

For fans in the Big Apple, the New York Paley Center will host a night with the cast and creative team behind the Showtime hit comedy The Big C on November 1. The panelist will include cast members Laura Linney, Oliver Platt, Gabourey Sidibe, Phyllis Somerville and John Benjamin Hickey as well as Executive Producer/Creator Darlene Hunt and Executive Producer Jenny Bicks.

This series is the highly unconventional look at a buttoned-up Minneapolis school teacher – Cathy Jamison (Linney) – who decides it is time to start living after learning she has Stage Four melanoma. She decides to tell no one, including her immature husband (Platt), obnoxious teenage son and outspoken, homeless (by choice) brother (Hickey). Meanwhile, she is dealing with her students, including stubborn Andrea (Sidibe), with a renewed aplomb and getting to her cranky neighbor Marlene (Somerville).

You can try to get tickets here. Tickets for members are $20 and tickets for the general public are $25.
