Radek Zelenka/David Nykl Appreciation, Thunk, Translation Thread

[Rosehawk]

OMG. We are seriously ignoring Radek.

Spoiler:

[Rosehawk]

Just 'cause I want to see this pic again!

[Hiccups]

The last picture looks like his reaction to that statement. Poor Radek, I think some of us would volunteer to ruffle his hair in order to comfort him.

[Rosehawk]

LOL. I love the look on his face in the last one. It's borderline 'uh huh' you're in trouble to where it also looks like he's trying hard not to laugh at Hewlett.

[Hiccups]

Maybe Hewlett is making one of those stupid Hewlett looks he has in his wide repertoire at him since he is not facing the camera. (FYI, I'm not saying Hewlett is stupid, I'm saying he's talented with a lot of different looks in his repertoire.) I wonder how many actors do stuff like that in an attempt to make it difficult on their costars to continue the scene without laughing.

[Replicator Fifth]

I read a Patrick Currie interveiw on here..Amanda did that too him on a scene and he hd difficulty keeping a straight face so they had lots of outtakes of that scene. I believe it was the scene where Fifth takes her in her mind so I imagine it happens alot.

[Hiccups]

I know Tim Conway used to do it a lot to Harvey Corman (and the rest of the cast for that matter) on the Carol Burnett show, and poor Harvey couldn't keep a straight face.

[Replicator Fifth]

lol indeed. forgot about that lol.

[Rosehawk]

I have heard both David's say that they had alot of fun working together so there would have to have been some rather fun moments, shall we say!

[pookey]

Oh yes, I saw "The Beast..." yes indeed.

Spoiler:

I am actually not going to answer your question 'did he last longer than 3 seconds' and when you see the film you will understand why?

Taking my fangirlish eyes off and trying as hard as I can be to be objective, here goes...

The movie was simply, absolutely, brilliant, wonderful, funny, and just one of the best damn movies I have seen in a very long time.

I've been following this movie since David first posted on his blog about it several years ago. The reason why it caught my attention so much was because David finally had a lead role in a movie. Not a supporting lead or principle character but the actual lead - something that many of us David Nykl fans, not just Zelenka fans, want to see. Because I have followed the movie on various blogs, news updates, etc I had some trepidation about actually watching the movie and having my expectations set too high. I think we all know how anticipation can sometimes play with the mind on expectations.

I was pleasantly surprised that the movie met and exceeded all of my expectations.

The story moved along at a nice pace. While David may have been the star, the movie was really an ensemble piece and all the characters were really fun together and each one added to the story.

David takes his character, one with a questionable background, and weaves this journey where you think his character is a jerk, a scam artist, desperate, insensitive, driven by his obsession yet you get to see a character that can be sensitive where his passions lie and you end up really feeling for his character. There is some great emotional stuff coming from David.

The movie is a comedy with some really great moments. It is really hard to give specific since just about anything can give a plot point away. The movie takes some interesting and fun turns.

Paul Moran's (David's character) girlfriend in the movie, I just love the actress Leanne Jijian-Hume. She has got the biggest and most expressive eyes and there is one scene where just through her eyes and the expression on her face you can really feel what she is feeling while laughing at how clueless David's character was behaving.

This movie really deserves a theatrical release. I hope Gateworld does an interview with David about the movie like they have with some of the other Stargate actors work outside of Stargate. They really need the promotion work.

It's definitely a must see movie. It's a brilliant and very well done Indy movie!

And some more piccies!

Ok, what does he have hanging out of his nose?!

[Rosehawk]

Ok, what does he have hanging out of his nose?!

It's cotton.

Spoiler:

It was to stop a bloody nose that the character had. Can't tell you how or why. Was pretty funny how he took it out of his nose!

[The Flyattractor]

What movie was he in?

[Hiccups]

The Beast of the Bottomless Lake! Rosehawk is our resident expert on the movie. Oh, and btw, welcome Flyattractor! Pull up a seat and join right in.

He just looks so happy even though he's got that thing there. I wasn't even sure he knew it was there. Thanks for the clarification RH.
