Dr. Ronald Chevalier on the Art of Inspiring Oneself
I am definitively not a Napoleon Dynamite fan. And actually, I’m not terribly looking forward to director Jared Hess’ next film, Gentlemen Broncos, even after watching the trailer. But I can tell you that I do love the film’s central conceit of Flight of the Conchords‘ Jemaine Clement as famed science fiction author Ronald Chevalier, who steals the protagonist’s novel in the film and pass it off as his own… although I’d much rather just see a movie about Chevalier and his ridiculous books. The film has been making a slew of Chevalier videos as viral marketing for the film, and they’re so much funnier to me — although anyone who takes sci-fi and fantasy books too seriously crackes me up generally. Head over to /Film for another Chevalier vid, and if you watch the trailer, let me know if you agree.
