As her anxiety increases, she starts to have trouble finishing homework. On the down side, one of her sisters might be leaving home, and there seems to be some kind of low crawling creature/monster lurking outside the school. She makes a new friend, joins an after school club, and seems to be settling in well. In spite of this, her new year in middle school starts out well. It is a story about a young girl with anxiety/OCD issues.
LIFE HAPPENS SO JUST ROLL WITH IT FULL
“‘Unexpected’ is underselling it.Thanks to Max at Completely Full Bookshelf for introducing me to this title. “I just don't have the words for it,” commented Meloni. When asked to tease what’s in store for the father-daughter arc in Season 2, all Meloni could say was that it takes an insane turn. “With all the silliness and the violence and the craziness, every once in awhile, there are these difficult scenes which boil down the human experience of, ‘How can I connect and find common ground with another human being? Someone that I love, and someone I feel guilt over having not been there?’ That frustrating quality on what it is to be human and trying to connect.” “That is one of my favorite scenes of the season,” Meloni revealed. You just roll with the madness.”Įven though Season 2 is replete with deliciously insane moments (sorry, by the way, if that giant chocolate bunny is giving you nightmares), Meloni’s favorite scene so far is from 202, in which Hailey expresses her displeasure in seeing her dad’s violent side at the bingo hall. He knew how he wanted to shoot it - the whole high-kicking schtick was his.
“But, again, Brian Taylor was the one with the visual know-how. “For the estate fight, I was more attuned to, and I threw out a lot of ideas with that,” Meloni said. But leave it up to him… and I did!”Įpisode 202 was an excellent primer for one of HAPPY's most spectacular scenes yet - a demented homage to the great MGM musical extravaganzas by Busby Berkeley - as Nick takes out a team of security guards with a Taser this week. I was literally like, ‘Really? How's that going to work?’ I just couldn't get it. “The whole blood thing, that was Brian Taylor. “It all happens in the writer's room, obviously,” he explained. Meloni couldn’t even begin to imagine how that was going to work. Take, for instance, last week’s devilishly choreographed fight scene in a slippery pool of blood and entrails. It seems as though the vibrant flashes of violence get more absurd each week. In some ways, the animated unicorn is one of the least cartoony things in this show. ON SLIPPING IN BLOOD AND HIGH-KICKING, BUSBY BERKELEY-STYLE Everyone in the room went ‘Oh my God.’ Grant Morrison went, "You're him!’ It was fantastic.” “It was funny,” he said, “I've never had this experience before.
“They remade it with fabrics we have today for stunts and it just wasn't the same!” As soon as Meloni put on Nick’s scarf, gloves, and coat for his first HAPPY! screen test, he felt transformed. “My coat is in fact from the 1940's,” the actor detailed.
Maybe it's how I look at life.”įun fact: One thing that gets Meloni primed to become Nick Sax is his vintage coat. “Mentally? I don't what it says about me, but that was really rather easy. "You have to be in good physical shape,”Īs for getting in the headspace of Nick Sax, Meloni says that’s not nearly as hard. “I was a little banged up in Season 2, so that was really difficult," Meloni told. If you’re caught up through this week’s episode, then you know HAPPY! is pulling out all the stops for its action scenes this year (and if you're not, time to get on the stick). spoke with leading man Meloni about what it takes to embody the beautifully bewildered Nick Sax and which scene from Season 2 is his favorite so far. When he’s not sliding around in entrails or Tasing security guards in a spectacular dance number, Nick’s trying to connect with his daughter Hailey ( Bryce Lorenzo), but his methods (see: taking the kid to off-track betting) need a little work. As Nick Sax, Christopher Meloni embodies one of TV’s most delightfully depraved characters - a former-cop-turned-criminal-for-hire whose best friend is an imaginary unicorn voiced by Patton Oswalt (because, of course). Season 2 of HAPPY! in three words? “What.
