Murdering Gonzago

Before the musical interlude, a Shakespearean discourse: Did Olivier make a better Hamlet than Gibson? Or is the question too crass to merit response?

Why worry, as some of my favorite rhymes spring from this song:
    • Hear you Sir! What is the reason that you use me thus? I lov'd you ever; but is no matter. Let Hercules himself do what he may; The cat will mew and dog will have his day
    • Oh Villain, Villain, smiling damned Villain!...That one may smile, and smile and be a Villain
    • There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, Than are dream't of in our Philosophy for instance, listen to the clip of the Kings and they'll proclaim that "Nothing matters but the weekend, from a Tuesday point of view (That's what I hear, them say, but it's just another thing to point out to Horatio)
