I've never been much of a one for dream castings, but I saw this guy on the news last night, and hell, he's the spitting image of 'my' Gen. A bit older, perhaps, but still ...



His name is Taika Waititi. He directed Eagle Vs. Shark and the upcoming Boy (and Two Cars, One Night, from ... Sundance, a few years back?), and is apparently going to have a speaking role in the Green Lantern movie, lol.

Now all we need is a time machine ...

Yes. Magically make him younger and I can sort of see it. Is that a raising of one eyebrow I see?

[opheliastorn.livejournal.com]

But of course!

THAT EXPRESSION. Hilariously perfect.

I was so happy to find this photo of him :D The other ones didn't quite capture the correct nuances, yaknow?

[aged-crone.livejournal.com]

Nope. Doesn't work for me.

[opheliastorn.livejournal.com]

Ah, well!

If you don't mind me asking, is there anyone who looks like your image of Gen, or could you describe him to me? I've always been interested in how different people 'see' the same characters differently.

[aged-crone.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen anybody who looks like my image of Gen, and I can't really describe him; but if I ever come across someone I'll recognize him. So far, though, it's all been a case of, "No, that doesn't look right."

[opheliastorn.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. That's my reaction so often, too, which is why I was so !!! about this guy.

I mostly know of Waititi because of his association with my true loves, the Flight of the Conchord boys (Jemaine's in Eagle vs. Shark, and Waititi also directed a few episodes of their HBO show) So I'm already predisposed to love him for that, and yeah, I could see it!

[opheliastorn.livejournal.com]

:D I had no idea of the connection between Waititi and the Conchords boys until I saw the news article last night - I just think it's fantastic.

MORE MOVIES WITH JEMAINE IN THEM?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Must see this movie. Oh yes.

[opheliastorn.livejournal.com]

YES indeed!

[spellcoats.livejournal.com]

He's kind of funky-looking, to be honest. His head looks too big for his body.

Ehh....nope. I'm not seeing it. I always see Eugenides looking more...aristocratic? And cute, definitely cute.

My best real life Eugenides is still Deigo Luna:

Oh darn, Deigo Luna is cute. I think he might beat out my former choice of Jospeh Gordon-Levitt. Also Diego Luna is shorter to type.

PLACET.

Hmmm, any relation to Hoani?

I AGREE WITH THIS POST. That is pretty much how I also see Gen... and right up until now, I never realised my Gen was Maori :-P
