Geek Watch: Jemaine Clement

This is a new feature I plan to have regularly in this blog.  "Geek Watch" will focus on a popular geek currently doing something interesting.

This watch: Jemaine Clement!  Most of you know him from the fantastic folk parody (aka. filk) group, Flight of the Conchords, and from the HBO series of the same name.

He's co-staring in the upcoming movie "Gentlemen Broncos," from the directors of "Napoleon Dynamite" and "Nacho Libre."  Clement plays a popular, but nearly washed up science fiction novelist called Ronald Chevalier.  In a fit of desperation to save his career, he plagiarizes a novel by a high school student.

Based on the preview, it looks hilarious.  Clement gives a terrific performance.  Add in Sam Rockwell and Jennifer Coolidge, and this is a movie I have to see.  (Actually, I would just see if for Clement.  Flight of the Conchords FTW!)
