We’re in the home straight of this year’s Can’t Stop the Serenity, and we’re super excited to announce that we’ve raised $7,500 for Equality Now.
Wait… what was that? How much??
SEVEN THOUSAND AND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!
We’re got some cashy money to be finalised from the Dr Horrible event, and we’ve still got one more event to go, so we’re not finished yet! So bring your friends to our final event and let’s see if we can hit the 8k mark!
This is an incredible achievement, and we’re so glad to have your support this year. We couldn’t do it without you!!! THANK YOU!!!
First off, a wonderful thank you to everyone who attended our recent Dr Horrible’s Sing-along Blog Sing-along event at the Oxford Scholar.
We are extremely sad that the Evil League of Evil managed to prevent us from showing Commentary! The Musical, and we’re very thankful that everyone was so understanding. Blast the E.L.E!! *shakes fist*
But we have good news! We’ve received word that Captain Hammer will be using his influence to make sure things go to plan for our final CSTS event on 2 October. His minions have convinced our wonderful venue to waive their usual hire charge, so every single cent raised at our next event will go to charity! All hail Captain Hammer!! Plus, folks who show their tickets from our E.L.E. disrupted Dr Horrible event will receive a $5 discount on admission to our last CSTS event for 2010.
Since we didn’t get to share Commentary! The Musical with you all, we’ll be shaking up the plan for our “CSTS Meets The Guild” event. Instead of screening The Guild Season 1 and 2, we’ll be starting off with Commentary! The Musical. This leads perfectly into our screening of The Guild Season 1 (trust me, it’s the perfect seque).
Tickets to CSTS Meets The Guild are just $10 (or $5 on presentation of your ticket to the Dr Horrible event on September 18). They will be available at the Oxford Scholar Hotel from 2pm on 2 October (cash only).
See you there!!
It’s time to have a horrible day, all thanks to Dr Horrible himself!
TODAY – Saturday 18 September 2010 –
2:30-4:30pm (doors open at 2:00pm)
Oxford Scholar Hotel
427 Swanston Street, Melbourne (opposite RMIT)
This is an all ages event
Tickets are just $10, available at the door (cash only).
Starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day, Dr Horrible tells the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to.
We will also be screening Commentary! The Musical!, a full-length commentary track that is a completely original musical in its own right. Redefining post-modernism, Commentary! is a fun, behind-the-scenes glimpse of the production, heavily laced with inside jokes set to music very nearly as good as that in the actual production. It’s not to be missed!

Not so shiny: Plenty of drama for Buffy creator Joss Whedon (Sydney Morning Herald, 25 August 2010)
Bernard Zuel of the Sydney Morning Herald spoke to Joss this week about his wide ranging career in the lead up to his sold out speaking engagements in Melbourne and Sydney this weekend.
On Firefly:
The cancelled Firefly (“still the greatest grief I have about my career”) begat his first film as director, the Firefly “sequel” Serenity. It didn’t do Batman business but as a space-western with wit and social consciousness it made money and, along the way, gave him another young female character who – literally and metaphorically – kicked arse.
And on it’s cancellation…
The problem can come when you butt your head against a wall and it doesn’t break but you do. He’s often laughed about the pain of scripts in limbo, of films derailed, of utterly ridiculous decisions, such as a network deciding not to screen the opening episodes of a series until after the rest of the show had screened. More seriously, he says that the cancellation of Firefly not only made him “the sourest man alive” but had an unexpected and potentially devastating side effect.
“I stopped having ideas, which for me is an extremely rare experience,” Whedon says. “It was something much more subtle [than losing hope], it took away my ability to think in terms of episodic television. For years.”
Did you miss out on tickets to the Joss Whedon’s sold out appearance at the Melbourne Town Hall on 27 August 2010?

Experience Dr Horrible's "Commentary! The Musical" & The Guild on 30 October 2010
We’re wrapping up Can’t Stop the Serenity 2010 with some very special Joss-y fun and Felicia Day’s hit web-series, The Guild, about a group of online gamers.
Cyd Serman (Felicia Day) is an online gamer, who goes by the name Codex. Her own therapist has dumped her, telling her she spends way too much time online. But when an online friend shows up at her door, mistaking cyber flirting for the real thing, Codex decides to enlist the help of the Guild. And gets them to all meet in the real world.
“The Guild” is a fast and funny web series that is enjoyable for more than just gamers. Anyone who spends a little too much time online will be able to relate in some ways, and enjoy the wacky and sometimes self-deprecating humor throughout. We will be screening Season 1.
We will also be screening Commentary! The Musical!, a full-length commentary track that is a completely original musical in its own right. Redefining post-modernism, Commentary! is a fun, behind-the-scenes glimpse of the production, heavily laced with inside jokes set to music very nearly as good as that in the actual production. It’s not to be missed!
