Definitely on my re-watch list, together with Idiocracy.
- DoctorDabadedoo 4y agoMike Judge with his Idiocracy and Office Space is almost like someone had a crystal ball for early 21st century.
- devoutsalsa 4y agoOffice Space is a documentary.
- mynegation 4y agoOffice Space is pure genius and I was flabbergasted not to see it more popular. I am glad Judge got much bigger break with Silicon Valley.
- fumar 4y agoMaybe I am dating myself but Office Space was always popular.
- acheron 4y ago“Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings?”
- mynegation 4y agoI am more of a "Dave Grohl was in band before Foo Fighters?" kind of generation but I see what you mean.
- ericmcer 4y agoHow did he get away with Idiocracy? I thought it was a good movie and somewhat prescient, but if you peel back the layers it is basically advocating some kind of population control or eugenics policy. Or it is just a comedy, but I hear it frequently cited as a dramatized version of a plausible future.
- recuter 4y agoIt isn't advocating for anything rather it is akin to the band playing as the Titanic is sinking.

- mixmastamyk 4y agoDidn’t get away with it, company tried to bury the film.
- misnome 4y ago> it is basically advocating some kind of population control or eugenics policy I think this says more about the viewer than the film.
- ericmcer 4y agoThe problem it raises is: only idiots are having kids so in the future everyone is an idiot. The opening scene is literally a generic portrayal of trailer trash having 8 kids and you didn’t get that implication at all? Wow your a real saint. What did you think the implications of the film were?
- misnome 4y agoThat is indeed the "problem" that forms the premise of the film. It doesn't however go on to either propose or advocate a solution, instead exploring one projection to absurdity from it's premise. If you watched it and came away with a feeling it was pro-eugenics, you are absolutely projecting your own details onto the film.

- delecti 4y agoI've seen Office Space twice, once before and once after a job I got laid off from where my job description was quite literally to take the requirements from the clients to the engineers. It really hit different after that.
- skybrian 4y agoI don't really get the love for Idiocracy. You know the amusement ride with the really obviously bad history? The whole movie is basically that. They know their audience doesn't know much history so they need to make mistakes dumb enough so everyone will get it. It's a cynical movie that knows its audience isn't so smart, so they need to make sure the idiots watching know who the real idiots are. That way the audience can enjoy watching a lot of really dumb stuff while feeling above it instead of targeted.
