Hollywood's awesomest god-squadder IMO

Love his personal life section on Wikipedia:

Levi is a sports car and motorcycle enthusiast and owns a 2009 Nissan GT-R. He dated Caitlin Crosby from 2008 to January 2010.

Levi is a Christian and has been since childhood. In a 2002 interview with Relevant Magazine, he said, "My job on my set, I believe, is to first just love people and gain that trust with people where they know that I really do love them and care about their well-being, so that when they are running into problems, they will hopefully, at some point, come to me and ask me, 'What is your peace all about? What is your comfort all about? Where do you get your love? Where do you get your talents?' And I can turn to them and say without blinking, 'Jesus Christ.'"

In September 2010, Levi started his own company, The Nerd Machine.

Levi was selected as a participant in the Celebrity All Star Game at NBA All Star Weekend 2011 at Los Angeles. He played for the team coached by Magic Johnson.

Levi is an avid gamer, having first played Super Mario Bros. and has come to appreciate video games for their ability to provide interactive stories

while i can see him potentially plunging the universe back into darkness i'm guessing he just plays a co-worker of portman's trying to creep up on that

da croupier, Monday, 15 October 2012 14:49 (eleven years ago) link

Maybe he just plays some sort of Christian gaming nerd who has his theology upset. (And then he drives off on a motorcycle over a cliff going "AAAAAAaaaaa...")

Ned Raggett, Monday, 15 October 2012 14:50 (eleven years ago) link

the best part of that quote is "without blinking"

I MUST STARE JESUS INTO YOUR SOUL

Zachary Levi IS...Owl-Man.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 15 October 2012 14:51 (eleven years ago) link

"it is important that i don't blink lest people think i am not crazy"

da croupier, Monday, 15 October 2012 14:52 (eleven years ago) link

that said fluttering your eyelids before saying "jesus christ" would be kinda weird

da croupier, Monday, 15 October 2012 14:52 (eleven years ago) link

tbh Zachary Levi reminds me of of a friend of mine in demeanor and affability, which is partially why I like him so much

The Owls of Ja Rule (DJP), Monday, 15 October 2012 14:56 (eleven years ago) link

He was good in Tangled, but maybe that's because I didn't have to see his face.

controversial cabaret roommate (Nicole), Monday, 15 October 2012 14:57 (eleven years ago) link

since my reasons for hating him are based entirely on ads for chuck and a weak performance in The Squeakquel I really can't throw stones

da croupier, Monday, 15 October 2012 14:57 (eleven years ago) link

perhaps he was not bringing his a-game to alvin

I liked loki and the asgard stuff was so cool it reminded me of knights of the zodiac, but natalie portman? AGAIN?

lol ILX Yvonne Strahovski Is Gorgeous Chuck Was A Great Show Fan Club is about to rear its head, be careful

a weak performance in The Squeakquel

...there was a strong performance in said movie?

aka The Nerd Machine

xpost David Cross, ironically enough, does a pro job in those things

Really the ads for Chuck and Chuck's rabid fanbase are the two things that annoy me about him, although they aren't his fault. Chuck was just this nerd pandering mess.

controversial cabaret roommate (Nicole), Monday, 15 October 2012 15:01 (eleven years ago) link

YOU TAKE THAT BACK SARAH WAS GORGEOUS

um I mean, that show was much better than the ads give credit for

Chuck was p good why bc Adam Baldwin (yeeeees I know he's a douche irl please let's not talk about that)

Yeah! Why can't they do it like the myths (and the Marvel comics, eventually) did and hook Sif and Thor up? The character is more interesting than Jane Foster ever was, and from what little screentime she had, the actress playing her is pretty good too.

Tuomas, Monday, 15 October 2012 17:03 (eleven years ago) link

that actress was hurt during filming, wasn't she?

he is??

turds (Hungry4Ass), Monday, 15 October 2012 20:30 (eleven years ago) link

he's basically Colonel Casey in real life, only more libertarian

The Owls of Ja Rule (DJP), Monday, 15 October 2012 20:30 (eleven years ago) link

If you looked at his twitter, you'd think he was a blogger for Red State.

controversial cabaret roommate (Nicole), Monday, 15 October 2012 20:32 (eleven years ago) link

he's a wingnut, it's kinda disappointing tbh

haha goddamn.

turds (Hungry4Ass), Monday, 15 October 2012 20:43 (eleven years ago) link

yeah mainly cuz it is 100% what he obsesses on, it's funny cuz the chuck ppl tend to follow each other but none of them follow him. chuck was a fun show and for a couple of seasons a very good show as well. not esp stoked for this, thought the first thor was pretty awful, but stringer bell vs adebisi in norse garb could be fun i guess.

balls, Monday, 15 October 2012 21:01 (eleven years ago) link

I actually really liked Thor 1

The Owls of Ja Rule (DJP), Monday, 15 October 2012 21:01 (eleven years ago) link

It is one of my daughter's favorite movies. It's not even v. scary for kids because the frost giants are kind of cartoonish. It is goofy but I enjoyed it.

controversial cabaret roommate (Nicole), Monday, 15 October 2012 21:06 (eleven years ago) link

yeah now that i'm thinking about it i can't remember why exactly i thought it was awful (portman not enough of a reason), maybe i wished it was more cosmic/fantastic? have always thought thor is like hulk in that stories focused on him as sole hero don't work or bore me but as a member of a team he's awesome. loki obv a great villain or wild card.

balls, Monday, 15 October 2012 21:08 (eleven years ago) link

I liked that the actual kernel of conflict was super petty and small scale, but that it spiraled into a big fucking deal (basically an unspoken exercise in tracing the butterfly effect)

Thor was fun but Natalie Portman competed with Alicia Keys for Least Talented Major Star.

She was fine in Thor, I had no problem with her. Though I barely noticed why bcz Thor

set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 15 October 2012 22:48 (eleven years ago) link

you couldn't not notice her because she was crying and yelling from the Valley of Suck for 100 minutes.

sorry what I...Thor

i think portman can be good, she just doesn't bring much to the table if the role isnt on the page.

alicia keys is untalented? what?

turds (Hungry4Ass), Monday, 15 October 2012 22:55 (eleven years ago) link

i mean c'mon... ke$ha exists

turds (Hungry4Ass), Monday, 15 October 2012 22:58 (eleven years ago) link

Ke$ha has "Blah Blah." Alicia Keys has nothing.

Ah well, I'm sure he'll relish his four lines in the new Tarantino.

I think Olyphant in devil-may-care mode is A+ but I think his Tony Stark would be necessarily extremely different. He has an old school movie star charisma that was finally deployed to perfection in Justified, it’s kind of shameful it took that long.

omar little, Tuesday, 14 August 2018 15:45 (five years ago) link

Eventually they will have to recast everyone- a practice I’m not opposed to at all, as it fits the source material perfectly.

Scam jam, thank you ma’am (Sparkle Motion), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 16:12 (five years ago) link

btw i don't really think Iron Man 2 is a completely terrible film, but it seems to be a failed attempt at recapturing a bit of what made the first one good and generally speaking there's not much interesting about Mickey Rourke's character despite at the Methoding he was doing, and it was probably the worst bit of casting in the series that i've seen thus far. And i think it was a film that showed a very bad path the series could have taken, one that was more unadventurous and coasting on goodwill. Favreau ran out of ideas.
