I credit Office Space with my ideology, it is now ten years old and a cult classic:

I watched this movie, and I realized I didn't want to wear suits everyday and being a corporate shill.

[Critters2]

1. I love that film!!

Every once in a while, I just pull it out and watch it again. It never gets old.

[originalpckelly]

2. It's the explanation of how corporatism is like the Soviet Union Light.

[baldguy]

3. Corporatism = Stalinism without the joy.

[MrPerson]

4. I'm going to have to go ahead and ask you to stay Sunday too.

[KathieG]

5. One of my favorites!

[lame54]

6. Classic comedy

[valerief]

7. I just bought it for a friend who hasn't seen it. That and Idiocracy.

It's a great film.

[malaise]

8. I adore that movie

I've lost count the number of times we've watched it and I still crack up.
Two of my nephews watched it with me way back. They were kids but now that they've grown up they still watch it and call an tell me how much more they understand it now.

[AlCzervik]

9. great movie with a great soundtrack.

[conscious evolution]

10. Didn't do much for me

Not a bad movie but certainly not a lifechanger.
I guess that is because I had already seen thru the corporate bullshit by the time it came out.

Pink Floyds The Wall probable had a bigger impact. 'All we are is just another brick in the wall'

[MadBadger]

11. I also learned that I dont want to work at Fridays

[girl gone mad]

22. You got a promlem with flare?

:)

[FirstLight]

12. Thanks for the giggle!

Looooove it!


"um...you see, I asked for my Margarita with NO salt, .....I said NO salt.....and there were BIG grains of salt on the glass.... I could poison the guacamole, ......put strictnine in the water supply, um, excuse me......hello?

:rofl:

edit to add:

[originalpckelly]

14. You stole my stapler.

:P

I love him so much, best charater evah. Actually, what's odd is that the whole movie started out based around him!

[malaise]

20. It's because he's in every office

Hard not to love him.

[Canuckistanian]

28. That's Steven Root

The voice of Bill Dauterive on "King of the Hill":

[GCP]

13. I'm wearing 15 pieces of flair at the moment!

Love that film!!

[ejpoeta]

15. do you have your tps reports?

[Connie_Corleone]

16. That was my ideology back then.

And here I am working in corporate America, in a cubicle, staring at a computer for hours.

Reality bites.

[Selatius]

23. Gotta make the money for the bills.

"Life is an interesting journey. You never know where it'll take you, peaks and valleys, twists and turns. You can get the surprise of your life. Sometimes on the way to where you goin' you might think, this is the worst time of my life. But you know what? At the end of the road, through all the adversity, if you can get where you wanted to be, you remember whatever don't kill you makes you stronger, and all of the adversity was worth it. On your way to the top, you'll do anything, but how do you get your life back when you get there? Yeah...that's my dilemma."

17. In honor of pckelly, I'd like to buy the GD a gift...

[originalpckelly]

31. Oh yes...

Good screen cap! :P

[fishwax]

18. one of the best documentaries ever made

;)

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

19. Gary Cole was just brilliant in that movie!

I find him to be completely underrated and a FANTASTIC actor!

[tjwash]

21. ooooh.....yeahhhh. Listen...

Damn, Gary Cole has my fucking boss down COLD in that movie.

Yeah....listen ummm....why don't you just go ahead and grab yourself a can of bug spray and a flashlight...

[OhioChick]

24. Great Movie!

:thumbsup:

[Cirque du So-What]

25. It certainly had an affect on the language that I use

For instance, it no longer suffices to call management a 'bunch of assholes.' The phrase 'fudgepackers' is much more apropos.

[tjwash]

27. Hey, why should you change? They're the ones that suck.

:silly:

[backscatter712]

29. Or no-talent assclowns!

Michael Bolton had all the best profanities!

[slackmaster]

26. We once had a new guy named Thomas Cruse start where I worked

The first things I said to him were:

"Say, are you related to that actor guy? I'll bet you REALLY like his films. Which one is your favorite?"

[originalpckelly]

30. OMG!

:spray:

[MrSlayer]

32. I finally saw this movie a month or so ago.

And it was just ok. Not hilarious, not a classic, just ok. Maybe you have to be an office worker for it to be really funny. After all the hype I heard I was expecting a gutbuster.

[Skittles]

33. when it came out, I was doing Y2K changes for a major corporation

yes, it struck a chord INDEED

[slackmaster]

35. Same here

I was appointed "Y2K Preparedness Coordinator" at an educational software company.

I spent weeks testing our products and systems with the computer clocks set forward into years 2000 and 2001. I compiled my results into a 200+ page printed report that went to the Board of Directors and a bunch of other people.

[Xithras]

38. Lol, so you actually HAVE written TPS reports?

I write software for a living, but never could get into QA. That's some mind-numbing, soul-crushing work right there. Makes the life of a DBA look action packed in comparison.

[slackmaster]

41. No TPS reports, but at one time I did have eight bosses

My title was Senior Systems Integration Engineer. For Y2K I had to test system functions to make sure software didn't just roll over and die, but I had to do that multiple platforms including streaming media server configurations and file servers on different OSs, in addition to dozens of kinds of clients.

Yeah, it was pretty mind-numbing and I never found a single issue that needed to be fixed. :D

The change in Daylight Savings Time a few years ago had much more real impact on businesses.

[SidDithers]

34. That's a great movie...

the Bobs are two of my favourite characters of all time



Sid

[Politicalboi]

36. Putting on my "O" face

Great movie.

[OhioChick]

39. "O" face....

[Xithras]

37. I have a big, red Swingline on my desk

My kids will take off with it from time to time and I'll wander around my house doing my best Milton impression..."Have you seen my stapler?" None of them get the joke.

[neverforget]

40. PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean?
