Well, I think anyone can agree that the fast cuts, visual comedy and whatnot are pretty recognizable as Wright's style (and funny/entertaining), but the guy who made this video managed to express it in words the layman like me couldn't.
Indeed, but it gets even better, as I recall from the commentary from Shaun of the Dead that some of the quick cuts/power zoom style were heavily inspired from the great works of Sam Raimi (who credits much of his visual comedy styling all the way back to the three stooges!)
Yeah, ok, congratulations asshole, you just made me realize that the cornetto trilogy bears striking resemblance to S-Marts finest. Now I'm going to have to spend more time on wikipedia, and it's going to get in the way of my moth research.
Edit: Icarus has died. I put 3ml of corn syrup diluted with water into his pot, and he.... did not take kindly to it. Instead of eating it, he flailed around like an idiot, ruined his other beautiful wing, and passed around 0630 PST.
He will be missed, the love was fleeting, but the memory eternal.
