brevity and the best movie takedown ever

stole this from someone else’s blog.

brevity is the soul of wit

Polonius said this.  Well Shakespeare, his creator, thought it up.  That clever William, that.  Of course, the irony being, Polonius is neither particularly witty, nor brevit… or, err, brief.

This is completely non-sequitor – but an acquaintance posted this on his blog – and I was hooked istantly.   In the video, 7 parts at 70 minutes total, the quote is used effectively.   By the way, if you haven’t seen Star Wars IV: the Phantom Menace, don’t.  Fortunately, you won’t need to with the way the review is done.  The guy made the video in 2005, why am I just hearing about this now?  So fucking awesome.
