View Full Version : Office Space
If you havn't seen this little gem of a comedy, I advise you to do so. It is brilliant. I have seen it a few times, and it's one of those films that doesn't get old after multiple viewings. Anyone who has ever worked in an office (like me) will appreciate and acknowledge the wit, and the boredom that can come from this type of environment, and hoe the film totally nails it. Everything from the f***ed up photocopier to the disgusting boss.
It is basically a fantasy...a fantasy about office boredom, and what you would do if one day you just decided you wouldn't go. For most of you who have seen it, it will no doubt strike a chord with you.
Your thoughts on this top little flick?

Love it. One of my co-workers has a stapler that is very similar to a nice red Swingline...

It was $18 at JB-HI-FI at Werribee Plaza, so I popped into EZY DVD in the same shopping centre and got it for $9.90.
"Hey Peter.... Whaaaat's happening?"
Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well the kind of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter Gibbons: Good point.
Lawrence: Well what about you now? what would you do?
Peter Gibbons: Besides two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Well yeah.
Peter Gibbons: Nothing.
Lawrence: Nothing, huh?
Peter Gibbons: I'd relax, I would sit on my ass all day, I would do nothing.
Lawrence: Well you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Just take a look at my cousin, he's broke, don't do sh*t.
... they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry ...

Always thought it was a bit closer to the aussie office experience than 'the office'. just as funny I think.
But the fim does get lost in the second half when it tries to invent a plot

I agree the first half is the best, but it's still good all the way through.
Dom Portwood: Hello, Peter. What's happening? We need to talk about your TPS reports.
Peter Gibbons: Yeah. The coversheet. I know, I know. Uh, Bill talked to me about it.
Dom Portwood: Yeah. Uh, did you get that memo?
Peter Gibbons: Yeah. I got the memo. And I understand the policy. The problem is, I just forgot this one time. And I've already taken care of it so it's not even a problem anymore.
Dom Portwood: Yeah. It's just that we're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports *before* they go out now. So if you could just remember to do that from now on, that'd be great. All right!
*phone rings*
Peter Gibbons: Peter Gibbons.....(*pause as someone on the other ends talks to him*)......... I have the memo.
