Horrible Turn Nominated for a Streamy!

So, a while back several people posted here about Horrible Turn, the fan-made internet musical prequel to Dr Horrible. If you haven't seen it, well, that's a crime. It's well worth your time, and I'm not the only person who thinks so. Apparently, the Streamys do, too. Yes, the official awards of the internet agree. Horrible Turn is nominated for Best Original Music.

How cool is that? A group of fans in Texas made a little movie and look what happened! Cool!

As a promotion for their nomination, the fans have made another little song for us to enjoy.

Check it out here on My Damn Channel or here on YouTube.

I enjoyed this little gag, but it's nothing compared to the real prequel, which you can watch at www.horribleturn.com.

Oh, and the soundtrack for Horrible Turn is available for free download, too!

Favorite Female Characters

So, a poll over on whedonland  is looking for nominations for favorite female characters from movies, books, and television other than those found in the Whedonverse. (Yes, that means I can't put Zoe and Kaylee in, though my fingers tried to anyway.)

You can list up to twenty, so I did. (Why not?)

Here's what I came up with off the top of my head, without too much thought:

Sam Carter (Stargate SG-1)
Aeryn Sun (Farscape)
Laura Holt (Remington Steele)
Dee Dee McCall (Hunter)
Deanna Troi (TNG)
L'waxana Troi (TNG)
Katherine Janeway (VOY)
Jadzia Dax (DS9)
Scarlett/Shana O'Hara (GI Joe)
Kit Keller (A League of Their Own)
Leia Organa (Star Wars Trilogy)
Elizabeth Weir (Stargate Atlantis)
Dana Scully (TXF)
Luna Lovegood (Harry Potter)
Hermione Granger (Harry Potter)
Trinity (The Matrix)
Helen Magnus (Sanctuary)
Danni Reese (Life)
Syd Sherman/Codex (The Guild)
Janet Fraiser (Stargate SG-1)
