    Office Space

    Did anyone watch office space last night on film4? Never seen it before but really enjoyed it. Very funny and well worth a watch. IMDB. It can be had on play.com for the ripe price of £3.99.

    Re: Office Space

    I can see why a lot of people liked it, but I I'm not a huge fan. Aniston, fair play to her, can show she's not quite deserving of her typecast.

    Re: Office Space

    one of my favorite quotes comes from that film:

    Peter Gibbons: The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care.
    Bob Porter: Don't... don't care?
    Peter Gibbons: It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime; so where's the motivation? And here's something else, Bob: I have eight different bosses right now.
    Bob Slydell: I beg your pardon?
    Peter Gibbons: Eight bosses.
    Bob Slydell: Eight?
    Peter Gibbons: Eight, Bob. So that means that when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled; that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob, that will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.
    awesome

    Re: Office Space

    Dom Portwood: Hi, 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. Did you get that memo?
    Peter Gibbons: Yeah. I got the memo. And I understand the policy. And the problem is just that I forgot the one time. And I've already taken care of it so it's not even really a problem any more.
    Dom Portwood: Ah! Yeah. It's just we're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now. So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that'd be great. All right!
    Brilliant film

    Re: Office Space

    After working in an office which was going rapidly downhill thanks to a very bad senoir management change, this film has become a classic amongst all of us who've worked there!

    This is one of those movies where I must say "If you haven't seen it, where have you been?" Office space fits into the category of Classics and for me depicts office life, and office environments very very well!
