An "F" for Office Space? I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone hate that film before.
Office Space is a movie everyone always tells me I'd love. But it's by Mike Judge, and Mike Judge has never been funny.
I didn't laugh one time the entire movie, so while it may not necessarily be on a level with, say, Cat in the Hat, I can't reason giving it more than an F.
Mike Judge has never been funny.
This statement, by any objective standards, is wrong. Sorry dude.
Also, there's no way Fight Club is an F and Inspector Gadget is a B-. I t'ink you have'em dem grades backwards...
Beavis and Butt-Head, King of the Hill, any of his shorts...none of it amuses me in the slightest.
I haven't seen Inspector Gadget in about eight years, and I agree, I probably have it ranked too high. But after having seen Fight Club three times, I'm pretty confident in the respect I don't give it.
"Your children are now in the custody of Carl's, Jr." If that doesn't make you laugh, I don't know what would.
This is probably lame-ass reasoning, but when I saw the movie a few years ago, I didn't even know what Carl's, Jr. was, seeing as how there's none around here and still to this day I've never seen one in real life.
When I was in Las Vegas earlier this year I pointed out of the taxi window and said to my girlfriend "see that? That's what they call Hardee's in the American west." She didn't believe me.
Hahaha!
Have you ever worked in a Office? Office Space is dead on, i saw it once before i ever worked, and thought it was so so, then saw it again after i finished my internship, and laughed all the way through.
No, I've never worked in an office, and I've had several people ask me that once they've discovered I hate the film. But I don't know, what with my uniform hatred of all things Mike Judge, I'm not sure it would help so much.
What a black heart you have! When I was in 9th grade I LOVED Beavis and Butt-head, but then again that may seem like an obvious fit for a 14-year-old. I always thought the first couple of years of King of the Hill were great in their depiction of a suburban redneck.
I like Fight Club okay, but there is something rotten about a film that obstendibly rails against commercialism but has ads for Pepsi and Starbucks every other scene.
Yes! You hit the nail on the head about Fight Club. Its these contradictions, the film's failure to understand its own underlying message, that leads to its downfall. It's such a pretentious, self-aggrandizing, wholly idiotic enterprise that its standing astounds me. To me--and pardon the crudity--it's basically two hours of David Fincher masturbating and then coming all over the audience. It's hard to imagine it's the same guy that made the masterful Se7en.
As for Beavis and Butt-Head and King of the Hill...I've always found the former oddly humorless, it's just never appealed to me, and the latter, well, I've had to deal with suburban rednecks for a good portion of my life and tend to hate anything that revolves around them. Though the "comedy" of Larry the Cable Guy and his other hillbilly asshole buddies makes any given episode of King of the Hill look like Citizen Kane.
I lived in Selma, Alabama for a few years, so I have too much experience dealing with real rednecks. Hank Hill seems very liberal in comparison, and I do mean the Hank Hill from the first few years, not before he started dancing with dogs and hanging out at gay bars.
I never read the Fight Club novel, but the thing about the film was that it didn't really have a message. It was just a wild exercise in style and faux-anti-capitalism. But wow, white guys looking that ripped gives me hope for the future.
Calling Fight Club anti-capitalist is missing the point. While Fincher and co. nail a certain societal discontent in modern life vis-a-vis the capitalist rat race and the push to consume, they also ultimately put about as much stock in Tyler's philosophies as they do in those of L. Ron Hubbard.
Oh, I didn't actually say that it was anti-capitalist, just that it mimed the sentiment. I should have probably stuck to the word "consumerism" instead of "capitalism," but I remember talking to a self-proclaimed socialist in high school who would always reference it in those terms.
Really, I don't think it has a point beyond being a style exercise.
