A Stroke of YouTube Genius

This is the best.

Alonzo Mosley, a 34-year-old librarian from Jacksonville, Florida, has created a feat of editing certain to please any fan of the movies. It is incredible.

We first learned about it from Peter Bradshaw's column in The Guardian.

From Peter's post: "It is an inspired collage, lasting nine minutes and 28 seconds, composed of tiny movie-clips, with fragments of dialogue, simply quoting every number in countdown from 100 to 1: a mind-blowing effort of archive research, somehow trivial and monumental at the same time. The effect is brilliant, hilarious, even weirdly moving. The final ten clips have a tension and a crescendo of their own, as you try to guess what they're going to be. I should have sussed the final one, but I didn't. It functions as a mini-masterpiece on its own terms and also as the basis of a fantastic pub quiz round, in which contestants have to identify each clip."

Well said, Peter. Check out the clip below.
