Office Space (1999) Wife's First Time Watching! Movie Reaction!!

[@nealnoir]

In an interview with Mike Judge, he said Gary Cole who played Lumburgh was like totally serious the entire shoot. He couldn’t get a read on him if what he thought they were doing was funny. And when it came time for the sex dream sequence, Judge at the last minute before shooting the scene brought the coffee mug over to Cole to hold in his other hand and Cole lost it, laughing hysterically.

I worked as an engineer for 30 plus years and this movie is like a religious experience to me. Mike Judge is an absolute genius at depicting character archetypes, I have worked with Michaels, Samirs, Tom's, Miltons and unfortunately had a few Lumberghs in my day. Also, Samantha couldn't believe that two people were sharing a cube, well I shared a 4 person "cube" we called a "quad". Seeing this movie made it a lot more tolerable. I had a red Swingline and a TPS cover sheet at my desk for comfort. I have also noticed that all of the "reactors" I have seen watching this movie all quote the dialog as did I. The writing and the acting is really that great.

[@Uriahjw]

I was a engineering tech back in 2002 to 2004 for a computer manufacturing company and we had 3 per cubical so that was relatable but I was on a semi-off shift so I didn't have to deal with many of the office people. I dealt people more out on the manufacturing floor.

Swingline didn't make a red stapler when this movie came out, but they got so many requests for it that they started making one.

[@BlunderMunchkin]

So where did they get the stapler for the movie?

[@Quessir]

It was a prop made by the prop department for the film.

[@arandomnamegoeshere]

Yup. The stapler represented the relatively insignificant things and petty actions that take on in inappropriate significance in office life. They painted the stapler red so that it would stand out in the scene. Of course, the red stapler becomes an icon. So with eBay acting as an outlet for small business... some enterprising folks started doing high-quality red paint-jobs on Swingline staplers. It takes awhile, but Swingline realized that there's actually a demand for red staplers. So they begin producing them.

Yup! I worked for an Aerospace Co. in my hometown for 7 years from 1981 to 1989. One of my supervisors there was very much like Lumbergh. Same looks and attitude. Of all days in 1989 . . . I was laid-off on Labor Day weekend. During my time there it was wild. Drug use (weed and cocaine) and alcohol use after work (especially one the weekends), and at work as well. Also the occasional fights between employees at work. Nobody was fired for that. In December of 1989 I was hired as a temp at another Aerospace Co. that was owned by GM. There were about 2,500 to 3,000 employees there. I was hired as a Material Coordinator and I had a cubical doing a lot of data entry on the computer transferring electronic and mechanical parts to different departments. 'Office Space' does remind me a lot of my work experiences. Retired now, but there are those days that I think about the fun, wild crazy and the hatred (many days of "the case of having the Munday's") going to work in that kind of work environment.

Extract is an underrated Mike Judge film starring Jason Bateman.

Great TBR report!

But he forgot the cover sheet...

I loved this movie before I ever worked in an office environment. Then I got a job at an AT&T call center. The four and a half years I spent there made me love this movie even more.

16:10 I never paused to look at Lumbergh's Hr file, he has a BS in PHYSICS from MIT?!

Fun fact: Swingline didn't make a red stapler until this movie and people started demanding them and it was ridiculously successful. Mike Judge felt they were "generous" to him.

Mike Judge also did Beavis and Butthead and King of The Hill. The guys a legend.

Great reaction as usual. It was especially cool hearing you relate your own experiences to the scenes in the movie!

[@nathan.brazil780]

You should watch "Idiocracy" now... Another Mike Judge movie that is really good (he also did the Bevis and Butthead series)

[@nachoxm]

"Stripes" and "Caddyshack" are both Bill Murray classics!!

Wish I could watch this movie again for the first time. Fipping hilarious!!! Such a relatable movie! Loved watching both of you squirm with the commute, printer, and all the other hells of office life! Great reaction!!

The actor Ron Livingston was great. Every time I see this movie I really think that he could have played the role of Jim in The Office TV show. John Krazinski, I love though. And the character of Milton I just couldn't get enough of he was so great thank you for reacting to this movie.

1999 had 3 amazing comedies. Office Space, South Park and Dogma. And one hilarious unintentional comedy - the Phantom Menace.

The beginning bloopers were a great start.
