I agree 100 percent about that head shot. I didn’t see that coming.

It should be noted that Wilson also played a great part in the mainly disappointing “Hersher” this year. I say disappointing, because the trailer to that movie was so cool, but the movie itself was implausible and trite. It seemed like a script a couple high school kids wrote while skipping Earth Science to smoke Marlboro Reds.

He was just incredible in that film, and even if you felt like the movie was messing with your head or overindulgent in places, the last three minutes of the movie was Wilson showing the world why he brings a hell of a lot more to the game than being Dwight Shrute. That said, we kind of have Dwight and the Office to thank for Super, as it was James Gunn – Jenna Fischer’s then-husband who wrote Super, and it was Jenna who suggested Rainn for the role. Super also gets points for having what was, for me, the most jaw-dropping head shot I’ve seen in any movie since the last five minutes of The Departed.
