One more post that has a relation to Jemaine Clement... Eagle vs. Shark is a new movie directed by Taika Waititi. He is a New Zealand native and as a real piece of random trivia, he was actually in the movie Tongan Ninja, playing one of the dancers in the kitchen dance scene as one of the chefs with the big pot. Weird, aye? Well, Eagle vs. Shark is a comedy about a couple of social misfits (Jemaine Clement and Loren Horsley) who awkwardly move towards love while dealing with all of the same problems facing everybody in love, such as its interference in plotting revenge on old high school bullies. This film has already been nominated for and won some number of awards including Best Comedy at the Newport Beach Film Festival and has been compared to Napoleon Dynamite in comedy style. It is currently playing in the states in select locations and is supposed to open in NZ sometime in August. I'll be trying to view this in Seattle later this week and give my own review of it, but I'm excited to see it!
