Seth Rogen's Movie "Observe and Report" Will Give You Insight into Zimmerman




In the movie, Rogen plays an over-zealous mall security guard who is also a nut job. His dream is to become a police officer, but he fails his psych exam.

Watch the movie and you will get an insight into Zimmerman, with one key difference. Rogen's character is not allowed to carry a gun.

I won't give anything resembling a spoiler, but it's definitely worth viewing.

No one to 'allow' him or disallow him anything. As odd as this sounds, I think equating him to that character is too generous to Zimmerman.

I like the movie, but there's not a likeable character in the whole film.

Although it has surpassed Fight Club with the best use of The Pixies "Where is my Mind" You know what I'm talkin about.

peace,

I watched the trailer and suddenly it doesn't seem very funny anymore.
