There are just some moments in life that you can look back on and say that right there, that was it. That was the moment I fell in love. That's what my "The Moment I Fell For..." series is all about, after all. Well I knew it was meant to be between me and the trailer for the movie Gentlemen Broncos right around the moment that Jennifer Coolidge got shot in the tit with a blow-dart and did this little shimmy-dance.
Kismet!
Seriously though, Broncos hadn't been on my radar at all until the trailer slipped its way in front of me this weekend. I kinda sorta mostly hate Napolean Dynamite (there are a couple of funny bits in it but mostly it's so blandly manufactured to be "quirky" it's the American Cheese of indie comedies) and Jared Hess directed both of these flicks so I wasn't paying attention. And Broncos could very well be another trying-too-hard one I'll ultimately dismiss. But the trailer's highly amusing, and that cast! The cast is pretty dang all-kinds-a'wonderful.
Michael Angarano! I've really like this kid ever since he and Olivia Thirlby were so effing sweet together in Snow Angels.
Jermaine Clement! I haven't seen a lot of The Flight of the Conchords but I've found very funny the few I have seen. Plus he's named Jermaine. Like the Jackson! If he has a son I hope he names him Jermajesty. Gotta keep it alive.
Josh Pais! In 2007 Pais played the gynecologist in Teeth and the boss in Year of the Dog and cemented my love for him forever.
Sam Rockwell! Playing an intergalactic tranny in Hulk Hogan drag. What do I need to add to that?
Mike White! Jennifer Coolidge!
Jennifer Coolidge, y'all! Give it up.

Actually, it's Jemaine Clement. There's no r in it.
(Although I do agree with you that Jermajesty is amazing.)
Oh it is Jemaine, isn't it? I got all excited and distracted thinking about Jermajesty I guess and confused myself. Jermajesty is like this great and terrible word-storm that send all my synapses off the deep end. Oh well. Jemaine should just change his own name to Jermajesty then, and cut the middle man out! ;-)
